Why do you think some people on the internet enjoy being mean?

because everyone is anonymous on the internet so people feel ok being mean to random anon ppl😬😬 like they are just random names on the screen not ‘real’ people🤔

Exactly

[EmmiL]

Because they can do it with no consequence

Who cares what a few charmless, ill-educated people think and say? They lead sad lives, trolling away with their sticky keyboards and the ever present box of tissues by their side.

Notice how the worst of the worst are almost always cowardly blue anons?

i'm not sure there is much of a difference in being mean by reason of truth, or vice versa. someone once said there is truth in meaning. what is the definition in the verb meaning? being mean can't be a verb to meaning. i bet there's a history to the word mean, that has a place for meaning, but i've never even thought about that! good work son! i love when you get my brain thinking.

Because they are unhappy with themselves and they try to make others feel as bad as they do. Mostly this comes from deep insecurity. They are so far down that they can't bear the thought of changing anything to feel better.

Oh the Internet has made the trolls really come out

[LiamJHayden]

I suspect most have miserable lives and are lashing out.

[Dongie]

Perhaps they're miserable. Or maybe they got picked on in school.

[RedInnocent69]

Because they are mean, the internet just empowers them more

[jshm2]

We do? Maybe you're just thin skinned instead.

What is and isn't mean is subjective
