Because, sadly and for many, many different reasons, a lot of people are angry or afraid  - and hostility is almost always a defence.

Answer 7

i think most people are mean because they're trying to make themselves feel better, or their jealous they just like to bully others so they feel cool or somthing i just dont get it. society has changed, now days it seems like everyone is mean. there are very few nice people, my mom and my sister are mean they like make fun of people in the car and i cant stand it, like what do they get out of it, honestly. whats the point.

Answer 11

they obviously don't feel good about themselves and feel the need to be mean to others. Or they're just cruel people

Answer 12

There are many suggestions that the TV directly influences people to commit crime.  There is a mass of evidence proving that this is not the case; people 'can' distinguish between reality and the world of TV!  However, one theory that I am investigating is the influence that the TV has upon the manner in which people behave towards one another.  To test this out, simply watch an episode of any British TV soap opera.  The manner in which people behave towards one another in those thing is beyond dreadful.  Young girls are constantly bitchy, young boys are always out for trouble, everybody is vindictive and everything always works out for the better.  In the real world, however, things rarely work out for the better when people behave in that manner towards each other.  I genuinely believe that this is the answer to your question.  I was going to research a degree on this issue, but there are far better things to do with my time.

Answer 13

cause thats the way they were brought up I guess, to judge people and be close minded.  

Answer 14

I think this can only be answered by the person that is mean themselves.

Maybe it's cause you personally (which i doubt in most cases), maybe it's cause they had a bad day or maybe, just maybe, it's a big understanding and we are all just totally nice in our own strange ways!

Oh and some people are just plain mean anyway!
