Why are you a nasty person? What makes you act that way in certain contexts?

[thegreenyogi]

Let me explain: the kind of nasty I am referring to is that type of nasty behaviour that makes you insert yourself into a post, question anywhere online just for the sake of saying something not particularly pleasant that has nothing to do with that post but is directed to the asker or author of said post for reasons that are unknown except for you. Why do you do it? What does it give you to be cruel? Why are you under the impression that a digital post is always about its author? And why does it affect you? Why not simply move on if you don't like the question rather than spreading hatred? I'm genuinely a curious person and I like understanding more about people's behaviours.

I can't answer about being nasty myself (not that way), but I have come to understand some of other seemingly nasty peoples motivators:

there's a thing called a "sh1tpost" (replaced i with 1 because I would rather not swear personally.

The #@$tpost is a kind of communal humor (not my type of humor but I understand what the type of person posting it sees as the joke). It's posting something which is intended to deliberatlely wind up the asker in order to get a rise from them and provoke a response. It's often done as a kind of "karmic" act, but sometimes its just people find it funny to be mean to people they opinion are stupid. The karmic version would be, say, when a racist person is being a biggot, deliberately posting something to enrage them and getting them spouting the kind of crap that shows to the world what kind of an idiot they are.

Another example is if someone is particularly self reightious, there's a type of person who takes pride in popping their bubbles, or trying to show them up by posting stuff to hopefully reveal "another side".

Then of course there's just the types who feel better belittling others, which is a more mundane kind of reason.

Lastly, I think there's the idiots who get "triggered" because their filled with woke crap. So, they see someone trying to say something not fitting to their ideolegy and try to shut them down by mean words, or forcefully comparing the poster to a Natzi or other communally recognised villan.

I don't think I'm ever nasty. Or least it is never my intent to be. But there's and old comedy bit by George Carlin where he talks about people who put "baby on board" in thier car window. The implication being that because they decided to have a kid I'm supposed to alter my driving to keep their kid safe. George said something to affect I'd run into them just for that reason. And say that he's actually helping the kid. He's giving them an early dose of REALITY. Life doesn't change just because you post a sign.🤣

Now, obviously, this is all said in comedy. It's sarcasm, but there's a nugget of TRUTH in it all. I'll be respectful of you. But respect is a two-way street. If you are mindful of what you say, I'll be mindful of what I respond with. Do it not? And you get what you get.

P. S. @thegreenyogi I don't think I've ever read anything nasty from you.

Thank you for sharing!! I'm not a typically nasty person and I always try to be accepting of everyone's opinion and sometimes I have been on the receiving end of nastiness in response to a question I have posted to which I always prefer not to entertain or respond to.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah, same here. I used to respond but typically it just degenerates and makes me feel icky. So most often I just block anymore. I never want to though. Because I never want to block someone just because they might be having a bad day.

[thegreenyogi]

I agree with you. Instead of blocking them I just hide their response on my feed so I don't see it again.

I'm by all means not nasty at all, I'm kind.

BUT what annoys me is the inability form others to make change or at least try when others have things worse off. In addiiton to this, blaming others and not being able to self reflect.
