Why do people can go around hurting people feelings then act like nothing happened and think everything will go well in their lives?

A few reasons. Some people are straight up mean-spirited and experience genuine pleasure from the misery of others. There’s even a word for it in German: Schadenfrude. It’s hard to believe such people exist if you, yourself, are a good person but they simply do.


Also, sometimes people are mean to help themselves feel a little better about the terrible things they are going to do for or too you simple out of envy, spite, jealousy, or their own insecurities. I have seen this so many times before and particularly to some really good or amazing people I’ve known. It seems like the more extraordinary some people are the more somebody else wants to dislike them.


They generate complex theories from minimal
Information and decide their success and victory in life is achieved only because of some unfair advantage they supposedly have. Because they themselves do not have it they resent the other person and dislike them and this manifests as little mean or cruel acts. We see this in life all the time, portrayed in movies.


This can be as low end of the spectrum as facial expressions, sarcasm, insults, false rumors & accusations, to sabotage of their career or love life, destructive and substantial rumors, to outright acts of violence. Sadly, I’ve seen it more than once in life and even called out a few who were reveling a little too much in the fate of another.


It’s a character flaw of the highest order.

They're entitled, selfish people.

The other charming group of people are those who will take shots at other people and do really slimy, vindictive, underhanded things, and then be shocked when the person takes a shot at them later.

I am not a vindictive person, nor am I a vengeful person, nor am I the kind of guy to wait for an opportunity to strike; but if someone screws me over, I have a very long memory.

Some people are just heartless and they don't care about others, they think the world revolves around them. They take other people lives as a joke until the joke's on them and then they see how they made the other person feel. I wouldn't worry about it because everyone shall reap what they sow whether it be good or a bad seed.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, treat people the way you wish to be treated. God doesn't like ugly and he ain't too fund of pretty.. So stay strong, keep your head up, and disconnect from them for a period of time or for good, cut them off. You don't miss a good thing until it's gone, once they realize a good thing/person isn't there for them anymore they will truly regret it and sometimes comes back to apologize.

Sometimes people put on a show or a front to please others only hurting themselves in the long run. And the people they are performing for could care less about them to begin with. They think people be laughing with them and there laughing at them... It's there loss, to neglect, reject, and abuse a good friend that's hard to find!

Positive Energy Only in 2024, let those types of people go!!!

As much as I get where you’re coming from, assume ignorance before malice. It’s a very easy trail to go down to believe that someone hurt you on purpose, and maybe they did, but for most people they simply don’t realize what they’ve said or sone is hurtful to someone else.

[Flatmanlewis]

That’s a great personal policy to have. I like that.

I know people who do this. I assume they will either grow out of it or if they are already grown, they will one day face punishment or penalization. On the other hand, people on the outside of an argument do not know the whole story so somebody that looks good might be the bad guy and somebody who looks bad might be the good guy, an example is a guy said horrendous things about me for being hostile towards a girl who claimed to love God and had a disability but what he did not know is that she told me she pretended to believe in God for attention and I also I saw how badly she treated other people and then how much she tried to hide her horrible deeds.

Behavior is a reflection of mindset. They probably have a lot going on in their life making them miserable, and barely holding on. Some people don't realize we make our own happiness by putting it out there. You bring a negative attitude and that is what you get back.

Some people justify themselves by putting others down. Like a superiority complex.
