Why do I have to be mean?

Sometimes I just have to be a total jerk to people for no reason. I explode on innocent people (no suicide bomber pun intended) out of nowhere. I really don't know why. It's like a compulsion or something.

You don't HAVE to be, you choose to be ... you're the only one that can actually figure out "why"

It could be an illness but you might just be super self concious of yourself and you have to belittle others to make you feel good. That's how some bullies are. Sometimes people had rough childhoods and can't get over it. And some are just very mean people. Yes *sigh* I AM one of those people that will try and think What Would Jesus Do. It works.

It's called anger. I do the same thing. Just if it's someone more than others, and it's someone you like, just remember to tell them that you have an anger problem, and you say things you don't mean sometimes, and it's hard to control. I had to do that with my mother, and she understands why I'm the way I am.

My guess would be that you have feelings of inferiority and reaching out to put others down is your attempt at making you feel better about yourself. The fact that you recognize this in yourself tells me that you can solve it with proper guidance.

Looks like someone lacks self control.

It may stem from a spoiled upbringing.
