  1. A self centered narcissistic mentality caused by a lack of respect or empathy for anyone else’s feelings/needs/wants. There needs and wants are all they are concerned about and they aren’t even aware of the troubles or situational despair others might be experiencing.

  2. I think the bottom line reason why so many people are crappy to others is that they are unhappy with themselves. They have low self-esteem, insecurity, anger, resentment, or other negative emotions that they don’t know how to deal with. So they project their crap onto others and try to make them feel bad too. It’s a way of coping with their own pain and avoiding responsibility for their own actions. It’s sad and pathetic, really.

  3. Fear of rejection. I’ve had several friends over the years that were so fearful of rejection that they did everything they could to be rejected by others on purpose just so their “real” selves would not be rejected. Some had abusive parents, some were just insecure, but I think by going outside the bounds of decency they always had an excuse for why others didn’t like them and it made them feel like a moving, and thus protected target. Funny though, the strategy never worked and was, obviously, self defeating.
