What is the psychological insight of being mean?
The question should be more elavorated, but yahooA has a word limit.
Anyway, Im just wondering about a psychological meaning to people being mean to others. For example, why should I not date the fat chick/guy? Why wont some people wont talk to you if you are not wearing "armani"? I dont hate, but I dont like when people express themselves in a judging way to others. Will society accept others whom are weird? I even do it sometimes without realizing it. I dont wanna think that way about others. That's wrong! This is not hippie stuff. I just want to understand it in the neuron language.The psychological approach!
Sorry if i misspelled some words u guys.

I would think the reason you dont want to date the fat chick/guy is the survival of the fittest crap. Like, subconciously anyway. Your body wants to mate.. and it wants to mate with someone healthy and fertile- and fat people generally are not..
As for the brand names and crap.. look around you. Movies, tv, magazines- all superficial crap. I dont know why people are into that- but so many are. Its sad.
Society likes everyone to be little clones of eachother. When you get someone with "different" ideas or styles they do become the outcast to the general population. Sure, there are exceptions. but people dont like difference as much as they say they do. If you're all eating meat and a vegan comes along its going to upset the order of things- so they will be the black sheep. (personal expierence on that one lol)
Neuron would be the physical approach.. the social side of it would be the psychological approach.
Haven't read my psychology books or taken the classes in a while.. but ya know.. its my personal views on this.

I think of life as two separate things, a small picture and a big picture.
In the small picture it is the system created by humans, we have our own society in which we lie, judge, fight, steal, help others, create our ideas, and choose our own paths. We are raised by our parents and it is said to make up half of what we are, and the other half is what we choose to become. We are taught morals, yet somewhere along the way we begin to go into a state of ignoring what is right and doing what would please ourselves. This sometimes hurts other people's feelings and that is probably why it feels wrong to us, yet at the same time it brings us pleasure.
The reason I wouldn't date an "ugly" girl is because I would have no sexual attraction to her, the emotional aspect of the relationship would be satisfied, but the physical one would not. Of course that's the way I look at it, for others it is because they would not want to be seen with someone who is considered "ugly" or "different."
The reason you feel this way is simply because it is human nature. You have morals that you want to follow yet at the same time you want to have fun and enjoy yourself even if it is at the expense of others.
As for the big picture I will not share this right now because it is much more complicated and long. I don't want to write it right now (see I'm pleasing myself haha).
Hope this helps :)

Psychological perception is apprehending the real nature or purpose by way of intuitive know-how. Your project is to get within the writer's head and provide an explanation for what you consider the writer used to be considering and looking to converse in his paintings.
