Why does it seem that some people go out of their way to be unpleasant? I've often upset a someone by being a little thoughtless or insensitive, I'm a long way from perfect and it's upset me to think I've hurt or upset someone, being cruel, unpleasant or rude has never been my motivation. I don't understand anyone who's like that all the time?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I feel happy and satisfied when I make someone's day, when I get someone to feel pleased, to laugh .... that is my kind of power or influence or whatever you want to call it. I can't imagine feeling joyful at causing pain. But that is the way some folks are. They love to hurt others.

If people believe they are in pain living their life, then they will give pain back. That's the way I see it. They come off as people that were never asked to be born but then will do nothing about it to end it. And they live like a hamster on a wheel and never get off. Just watch the movie Misery. ...

Varn:
It seems the hotspots or real estate bubbles attract them; I hadn’t realized how ..assholeish the Portland (OR) suburbs had become until escaping them ~
@Varn CO Springs is a super religious city as well. I do work with an asshole agnostic. He's only mean to me. He's everyone else's friend. Except his hearing is shitty because he blames us and yells for another Asian worker and I to enunciate. I've known English my whole life. I just can't say some words perfectly without slightly slurring due to my cleft palate. Which I'm always made fun of for.
Varn:
@Sarahroo29 I’ve daughters considering Colorado, not sure where, yet.. I envision highly competitive and aggressive ‘newcomers’ creating a pressure cooker atmosphere. I think we’ve all some trait that gives us insight by how we’re initially treated by a stranger, including bosses and coworkers - telling far more about them than us ~
@Varn At least I'm not the co-worker asking my managers to go home early or to go get a drink. Or to party with them. I know my boundaries.
The old see saw effect, I feel good when I put someone else down. Short sighted and self serving.

Some people get pleasure from causing displeasure. Others do the opposite.

I think you are on to something. The bullies I have met put incredible amounts of time, work and resources into causing pain. They spend weeks, months or even years planning to cause misery. I think in the long run, the bullies are worse off than the people they abuse. But, oh, do they love to hurt people.
