For those who have worked with kids, have you ever had 2 or more students who would not stop going back and forth of how they despise each other? It’s more than annoying! As an instructor, you can do all you can to get in each students face and tell them to stop, but there just seems to be a chasm within that is never satisfied with verbally berating another person.
I, and many others, call this the “hurt people, hurt people” scenario. One has hurt feelings/self-esteem deep within from some unfortunate encounter(s), and all they know to do is to be mean/ugly to others. One may lash out to enjoy seeing others in misery, they “have nothing else to do”, build up their self-esteem by tearing others down, or some other preposterous reason from a result of a pain within.
