Mean People Quotes

“Individuals tend to view their in-groups better than their out-groups. They display favoritism towards the members of their group. Because of this, people who are not part of the group are perceived as outcasts and not treated very well. This is especially true when they seem to challenge the identity of others.”

“people tend to cope with their negative views about themselves by thinking that other people are worse than they are. For instance, if you feel dishonest, you may think that other people are more dishonest. Because of this, you will immediately feel better that someone is worse than you. Furthermore, mean people may act the way they do because they feel that their egos are being threatened. Researchers have found that a threatened self-esteem can drive so much aggression. So it does not really matter if a person feels bad or good about himself in general.”
