Why do people act mean and snobbish?

Question

I have often wondered what causes people to act so s****. and mean to other people for no good reason? All through my school years I have seen some people be so ruthless and horrible to others who don't have as much money, clothes, etc...and even now as an adult, it's still there in some people.

Any ideas as to what causes people to be so mean?

Answer 1

They're perhaps materialist and don't feel really good about themselves, so they cut down others to make themselves feel better...

Answer 2

They treat others badly to make themselves feel better.

Answer 3

Plain and simple.

-Mean people suck, nice people blow.

Answer 4

Too much pride and their pride are blocking their intellectual.

Answer 5

Some people will just never learn. They probably were grown up in a rich, spoiled family OR they prob were grown up in a family who didnt love them. It all depends. And sometimes ppl are just plain mean. They can also be insecure about themselves, so they put down others around them.

Unfortunately some people just don't know any better.  At the end of the day, you are left with yourself and your heart.  You can have a big house and a hot car, but if your not happy, it doesn't mean "jack"
