I’ve posted quite a bit on here since I created my account, posts I consider non-controversial, since I’m not interested in arguing or getting into heated topics like politics. Even so, I still get the occasional snarky comment. Out of curiosity, I sometimes check the person’s post history when I see something like that, and without fail, their profile is full of snarky, negative, or hateful posts overall. It always makes me wonder: do people like this genuinely get enjoyment from surrounding themselves with negativity? What’s the thought process behind it?
It also works on the flip side. Lots of immature people think anything they find disagreeable is awful and anyone who challenges them is hateful.
Like telling a child that candy is bad for them and they can’t have it for dinner. Usually the child doesn’t go ‘gee thanks mom, you are right.’ They throw a tantrum and ask why their parents are so mean and awful to them.
