BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SENSITIVE.  NOW SHUT UP!\n\n\nhehe, just kidding.  I dunno why people are mean.  Who's mean?  On here?  They're bored and looking for a rise probably.

When you say, "mean for no reason," I assume you mean without provocation from their victims.  I think the bottom line is because they never learned to respect other people.  Beyond that, there are countless specific reasons. Some could have a mental illness, others may have been taught to be cruel, either by example or through a cult or religion (Hitler, Pol Pot, Torquemada), and even others could do it out of fear, thinking that if they victimize, they won't be victimized themselves.  But as I said, the bottom line is that they never learned the golden rule, which is to treat others as you wish to be treated.  People are naturally selfish and have to be shown early in life the value of empathy and compassion.  And if you don't know that, you haven't spent much time around babies.  :)

People are rude for different reasons. Some are just having a bad day, some are just uncultured. Its better not to let them get to you, and just ignore them

Some are bitchy and nasty because they are insecure. It is their way of coping with their insecurities. It is their way of letting other people feel that they are far better and greater. Being nasty is their way of boosting their confidence in themselves. So next time you encounter a bitchy or nasty person, just think that this is probably just a defense mechanism. Just think that maybe you are fortunate than them because you are happy about yourself and are not insecure :-)

I agree. Some people are mean because they have low self esteem and they are trying to make themselves feel better by putting someone else down. I agree with you, it's not nice, but we can just be nice to them and they will have nothing to be mean to you about!

LOL... you may as well ask why arrogant folks like you can only feel good about themselves by ripping into other people...\n\nGuess we all want to interact with others, and this is as good a way as any.

In recent years, bullies or mean people have been noted as a personality disorder. It is an issue with them coping with the world around them. They get moody and mean when they get stressed or just are bitter at the cards life has delt them and blame other people for it (subconciously). \n\nMean people who finally identify this issue seek therapy which in most cases they seek the wrong type. They figure they need anger management when they really need individual therapy that can identify their issues and help them learn how to turn it around. Meds are sometimes precribed for this diorder.

Why are you making such generalizations?  That sure doesn't fit everyone on here from what I have seen.  Maybe you are trying to project feelings about yourself onto others?  I think you should spend some time reflecting on why you feel superior to everyone.  It may be normal to feel superior to some, but not to everyone.

People are mean because they have a low self-esteem and need to make others feel bad to make themselves fell better, more superior.

Because they don't care about anyone except themselves. That's what's wrong with the world today...it's each man for himself, rather than mankind helping one another out. The world would be too perfect and easy that way. Plus, people ridicule and make fun because they fear the unknown. It's easier to pass judgement than to get to know someone. It's called ignorance. Hopefully they'll grow up someday and start treating folks the way they want to be treated.

Well to be perfectly frank people in this day and age are jerks.\nPeople seem to be involved with themselves caring little about anyone or anything else. They are a product of the fast paced world we live in today. Don't get me wrong not everyone is like this. You are obviously old school (a very good trait), but most people in the world today weren't raised like you. Don't give up keep being yourself (even though it may piss you off sometimes). Believe it or not by being the way you are you are most definitely making a difference in the lives of others, even though you may never know it. Good Luck. And by the way good afternoon!!!

Actually, present scenario is changed into a fast moving World. No one has a little piece of patience and lack of feeling of care for any person, that's why, you faced such a rude behavior from peoples. This fast moving life made the people very irritating in every matter. They don't want to repeat anything, if they are not at the fault. They don't even think what other person feels about their behavior, becoz they thinks they are doing this normally, which is not right at all.
