Why are some people on social media so hateful?

Anonymous

So, I recently had an argument with someone, who has a channel on TikTok.. (I didn't even argue with them. I just made a comment that apparently they didn't like, but I wasn't offensive at all). Then the next day I found out they had screenshotted my reply and made a public video responding to it. Although I went back and replied to it, explaining what I meant and apologizing if I had offended them, the person didn't accept my, but went back and made a new video (!).. I also had another 10 people attacking me in the comments.

Like I don't understand what was their goal. Were they trying to make themselves feeling better or getting validation by tearing someone else apart? This is something I've seen happening on either sites. I rarely see a civilized dialogue/debate between people, who disagree with each other. They remind me of little children that throw a tantrum because their parent didn't get them their favorite candy.. This isn't something I've ever seen in real life. Why are people on the Internet like this?
