Do you feel like people who put others down really see themselves as losers and need someone to feel better then?

Absolutely. Usually it's a sign of deep-rooted insecurity and self-esteem issues. People who feel good in their own shoes, never put down others (especially when someone has never bothered you and is just minding their own business), or boast about their own superiority. They're kind, down-to-earth and humble, because they understand the limitations of human knowledge and that even the most intelligent person in the world has things they're not good at. If someone needs to brag about themselves, they're doing it to draw attention to themselves

[Nikki1989]

Yeah, by making someone else feel worse, they temporarily feel better about themselves in comparison. It's a flawed and ultimately ineffective way to boost their fragile ego. I only throw shit at people when I feel it is 100% justified; otherwise, I try to keep my mouth shut.

*Note: I said try.

Unprovoked, yes. But is it really unprovoked. You have to get at the root of why people do what they do. Yes, some are just a-holes. But some do have a thought process. Right or wrong they have one.

[MrOracle]

Generally, yes. Assuming that they're doing it for no obvious reasons, it's usually the case that they are insecure themselves and tear others down to make themselves feel better. It's weak sauce.

[ProbablyClueless]

It certainly feels that way sometimes. I've noticed that most often from people who are quite braggadocious or even people who seem to surround themselves with knuckleheads.

There seems to be a fair number of people who go through life feeling like they ought to be living a more distinguished life than they've actually lived. People really like to feel special.

They’re insecure it’s all projections of feelings they have about themselves and they take it in others, lack of self love and worth it’s sad really.

[WonderingManII]

That is what they say... But I don't know for sure... I never had the desire to put someone down to make me feel better, even though I feel low most of the time.

[Jove79]

Nope, because SOME people need to be put down and be called a “f@cking c0ck eating POS”.. meanwhile, most people should not be insulted.

[Renegade_Sailor]

That is often the case, but sometimes it's because someone is being incredibly stupid and needs called out. Depends on the situation.

[Plugs]

Needs to be called out? Their stupidity will punish them , none of your business

[Communicationisking]

No not always but most likely there is an underlying issue that is causing them to be like that, it could be anything. If it is someone you care about reach out and ask them if they are ok

[DCVsMarvel2]

Yes. I really do. It's all about projection for them

[Anonymous]

Obviously. They want to bring others down to their level

[Panthero80]

I don't think they think about it, but deep down, yes.

[Anonymous]

Yes, unfortunately, some of them are just like that.

[Caughtulookin]

They are usually people who gossip a lot in my experience. People who talk shit to my face generally haven't ever met me or hold some sort of jealous grudge from learning from me.

[serious]

Yes of course. Without doubt.

[Dongie]

Ummm, could be rabbit, could be!

[RageBabe]

Definitely.

[WhitneySnow]

Yes.

[Miah06]

Most likely

[HДLILБΞУ]

People who despise others are despicable people..

[jahaims]

Nope
