Well thats y they are mean cause people don't like them. Then by being mean, they make other people mean and spread the anger.
I think mean people get a pass if they are extra witty or clever. Nice does not in any way make up for boring.
People are mean for a reason. They're usually in pain. "I don't like mean people" kind of just adds to it.
It depends on how mean is used. Sometimes mean is a valid tool used to excerpt your will upon somebody who deserves it. To run around being mean just because you are like a 4 year old who never got his way is just bullshit.
I am not going to lie, I don't like mean people- but I don't like overly happy people either. I say this because people are mentioning meaner people having 'deeper things' going on about themselves, where as I feel this is true- however overly happy people strike me as a case of still waters running deep. In fact it is these people in my experience who have shown a really, really nasty side, albeit not often. I like people who are both mean and nasty, who meet a fine equilibrium. I like to consider myself a lovable bastard
I have found that overly nice can be a cover for some nasty shit hidden up in there. Of course the same goes with overly mean people. Just one is hiding more than the other.
Yeah, just joking man. I would like to consider myself like that. Without our flaws, and our nasties- we would never develop the nicer side that people know and love us for I think.
