Does it make people feel good about themselves to be mean?

Everytime I ask a question no matter how serious it is I always get a ton of hate. I mean all I want is advice people not to get depressed. This is supposed to be a helpful sight and I don't know what you guys think but making teenagers cry is not what I call helpful. Im surprised a lot more people don't get reported. But why do people do this? Does it make them feel good about them selves? Oh by the way please no hate.

    I think that you should stop taking any form of hate personally. I think that people who are mean do if to only make themselves feel better when they are at a low in their life. They just need a confidence boost and reality check. So I think unless the person is jealous of you, don't take it personally. If they are jealous of you, make a way to give them more confidence and compliment them as well. Don't let other people bring you down.

    Hope this helps :) And I hope you can learn to stop taking pure nastiness so hard.

    You move directly into the path of the anxiety; by doing so it cannot persist because you process the fear out through your emotions.

    In essence what that means is that if you voluntarily seek out a panic attack you won’t have one.

    Try in this very moment to have a panic attack and I will bet you cannot… Yes, I know the idea of calling on a panic attack is scary at first but play with the concept and watch what happens.

    You may not realize it but you have always decided to panic. You make the choice by thinking

    “This is beyond my control.”

    “These scary sensations are beyond my bodies control.”

    It may help if you imagine that having a panic attack is like standing on a cliff edge.

    The anxiety, it seems, is pushing you closer to falling over the edge. Each time you fight back using poor coping strategies the more desperate you feel.

    To be rid of the fear you must metaphorically jump. You must jump off the cliff edge and into the anxiety and fear and all the things that you fear most. How do you jump?

    Haven't you ever done the same thing. I think we all get angry and act stupid sometimes. Thinking on it, I can't even swear I've never been guilty. I'm sure I have. Yuck. Could it be we all have niceness in our heart and hate too? Of course some people have been treated very badly and been ruined. They pass the illness on like a virus. We have vaccinations against viruses. We need one against meanness. Most people seem to have been vaccinated against meanness but not all of us yet.

    People are group-orientated, they watch others closely to see how they must act to be accepted by other people. Few people are born leaders, most are followers. When they hear a group does not like someone, then automatically they will hate that person as well. When they hear a group likes the person, they will like them as well.

    No, it makes them feel like aassholes of course. But sometimes we do it anyway. Especially if someone's question annoys us or seems stupid or hostile, it's easy to shoot off a sarcastic answer. But I find that usually straight forward questions are received ok.
