Because theyre uncomfortable with themselves deep down and make up for it by hurting other people and being mean. Its really stupid, but they dont realize it alot of the time.\n\n\n\nPeace

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.

I don't know why, but it seems that there are many people who simply enjoy hurting others.  I suspect it stems from them feeling powerless and insecure, so they get a small charge to their own egos when they can make someone else feel bad. \n\n There are, also, others who simply take advantage of people - they see goodness and kindness as a kind of weakness they can exploit for their own means.\n\nDon't let this turn YOU bitter, though.  Remember to tell yourself that those people, in the end, will suffer for it when they find they lack solid, real and loving friendships in their lives.

People bully others because they have low self-esteem and are aware that they are lacking something.  Others find it funny because they need some type of amusement in their boring lives and think seeing others being tortured is something to get away from the torture they are living in.

Because nice people are nice, they think more about other people. Mean people think more about themself and their benefit, and take advantage on nice ones.\n\nI have been hurt a lot but just can't stop being nice (being myself), even though I am getting wiser after each time I get hurt.\n\nWish there're less mean ppl and more nice ones in the world, life must be much more enjoyable ...

Yeah.  Fortunately for me, I never lose sleep over folks like that...they usually tell on themselves over a bit of time.  People discover how mean they are and then drop them like a bad habit.  It's their problem, not yours, so don't worry about it.  Time has a way of righting all the wrongs.

no we dont have to say something bad to othe people if they being rude,why because in some cases somebody may not want to be rude bu tit all depends on the situation you meet the person ,maybe the person is in such a bad mood ,then the person would answer your rudely  but when such situation arise you need calm dwon and meet this peson later to let him or her know how how she behaved,as the saying goes two parrarele line can never meet,so when the other is rude you stay calm dont be rude too

A mean person is one who does not accept the rights of others to express their own feelings, thoughts , beliefs, and religions, even if they are different from our own. Why be abusive , (questions or answers)? If my way is wrong , try to show me the right way . By being friendly , you might convince me. By being abusive , you won't

I to deal with people like this everyday. You have your regulars that are just plain miserable people, and always show you attitude when they come in. Then you have those that are rude because they are dissatisfied with your company for some reason (out of stock on an item, pricing, long wait, etc.),or their just having a bad day. When you finally are able to rectify the situation you usually see a positive change in their attitude. These are normally just your eveyryday people who if they were able to see the way they were acting, would probably be very embarrassed. Finally there are those that actually get kicks out of being rude to people, especially when they know you are unable to fight back and say what you feel. Don't take it personally, just smile an please them as best you can. When they leave your store you can make fun of them and mock them all you want.

Because other people were mean to them and they are bitter, or take a sick pleasure in spreading their hurt feelings around to other people.\nDon't let the mean people get you down...there are lots of nice people (like me!) around to make up for them.

Maybe pressure from other people to abide by social norms. So many times when someone does something rude or offensive, people just let it slide. No one confronts them about it. Maybe if everytime someone did something rude they got called on it, they'd think twice and be more respectful next time.

I don't know. Some people are really rude.

People make fun of others because they are not comfortable in their own skins. Inferiority of themselves stimulates the need to mock or put someone else down in order to feel superior.

everyone doesn't have to be so mean...at least she has a good sense of self.\n\nAlthough, I do admit, that if you're trying to get people to like you...this isn't the way to go

I don't necessarily believe that people are mean.  What I do believe is that people are scared and when you are scared you will do anything to protect yourself and the ones you love. We live in a fear based society. Fear is a very powerful emotion and I believe it manifests into what some may call "meanness".
