Why do insecure people act so catty toward others?

Like if they’re insecure that’s their problem

When someone feels inadequacy or anxiety about their worth, watching someone else succeed—or simply exist confidently—feels like an explicit threat. You can see that on here every damn day.

Why not work on their own insecurities instead of attacking others? Idiots

It distracts them from their feelings of inferiority -- I may be bad but that other person is even worse. Heaven help anyone who enters a relationship with them, or is their child. They try to destroy everyone close to them.
