some simply dont care about others aswell and theres nothing else to it
i dont think most people who do bad things are 'evil', usually hurt ppl hurt other ppl, some are genuinely crazy tho, and others kinda are evil/ genuinely just dont gaf abt anyone but themselves

i used to get bullied alot when i was 12 and as i got older those ppl started beng nice to me and i started to notice that alot of my 'haters' had worse lives then me outside of school

when i moved to a more wealthy area kids were mainly mean to seem cool and make their friends laugh and boost their egos, i think this is a example of pure ignorance, just kids trying to be cool without realizing how their actions effect people

for more ghetto kids, theyre usually raised in aggressive environments and learn to be defensive and 'defend themselves', which often leads to them...being ghetto and starting beef over nothing

people online are mean because they can ge mean without any real consequence and dont truly register the person theyer talking to as a real complex human whos just like them

'mean girls' are usually entitled and dont have actual empathy because theyre certain things theyve never had to experience, most 'mean girls', im talking abt the more stereotypical uptight ones who arent ghetto but still toxic, have never been slapped for disrespecting someone or properly embarrassed, so they become a bit too confident

mean or cranky old people often were hurt in the past or had rougher lives and basically make it everyone elses problem

anyway, i think some people are genuinely born without the ability to care for others, like psychopaths, and others are just hella entitled and ignorant, and that most people are who they are for a reason, but i firmly believe that one act of kindness will inspire another and that if more people went out of there way to interact with others positively, even in the smallest way (smiling at a stranger when you make eyecontact) the world would be a kinda and happier place.
