Have you ever wanted to be mean-spirited?

[ThatRandomGuy42]

Deleted just about everything from this post, a mistake by my part and it distracted from the main point.
Bottom line is, ever wanted to be mean-spirited at someone when you have just had enough.

 

[ThatRandomGuy42]

Mean-spirited? Yeah. In the past, I have. Towards my father. It was pretty damn justifiable after the years of physical and verbal abuse. Not to mention him almost getting me killed on more than one occasion.

No offense, RandomGuy42 but your issue is a bit ridiculous. So what if she wants to date someone who may or may not be an asshole? That's her choice. Furthermore, why would you want to date a girl that is with a person you consider an asshole? Let it go.

I did. I don't want to date her anymore, not in a million years. I got a taste about what she's really like. She doesn't like other opinions when it comes to vegetarianism, let's just say that.

I'm mean-spirited pretty often and insulting all the time. I do my best to be the opposite of an internet white knight.

I'm usually a nice person, and I don't usually have a mind for insults or meanness. I mean, in my work environment everyone tends to make jokes at each other's expense, but most people including me know that usually nothing is meant by it. Sometimes though I actually throw out a real zinger, and because I'm usually not that good at it, people get shocked and wonder if I really meant it (I don't). Also sometimes people take it too far with me because I almost never react negatively to anything they do. One time a guy freaking sack-tapped me "as a joke" (probably harder than he meant too, but still). I was NOT okay with that. That shit hurt!

Either way, I'm rarely mean-spirited. If I start thinking mean or angry thoughts I usually catch myself and put a stop to it. "It's much easier to forgive others once you learn to forgive yourself."

I also don't care about girls being attracted to jerks. That's just petty.

I'm constantly being mean-spirited. I especially like being mean-spirited towards people who can't tell I'm being mean-spirited.

 

[Woodsey]

"To put it bluntly, Y is an asshole. I had hoped X would see that to, but she's blind to his 'assholishness'. After a while, I saw both of them for what they truly were."

Y oh Y do you even have a 'relationship' with Y if Y is an arse hole? And Y oh Y do you continue to talk to both X and Y if you consider them both pricks now? And Y oh Y are you bitching to Y about Y's lover-girl, X?

I mean, I know Y really. But that is a lot of unanswered questions.

She doesn't like other opinions when it comes to vegetarianism, let's just say that.

Unless the follow-up is that she literally beat you because of differing opinions on vegetarianism, that is just an hilarious response. Although to be honest, I think I'd laugh if that were the case as well. (What was the mean-spirited question, again?)


I mean we all think other guys are dicks when they're going out with girls we'd like to be going out with. And most people get somewhat resentful towards the girls themselves. But, y'know, most people recognise that and let it wash over.

 

[ThunderCavalier]

Whenever someone uses "SWAG" or "YOLO" seriously, I want to.

But instead I just pretend I'm seeing them being slingshot into the sun.

God, you're like every other whiny "nice guy" in the world.

You know why the girl you have a crush on is dating an "asshole?" Because the guy she's dating isn't you and you're going to hate everyone else she dates because you have a crush on her. Now because you're too much of a coward to actually tell her how you feel and date her you're just acting like a passive aggressive ***** to both of them while carrying on the "woe is me" attitude because your friend can't see what a great guy you are. Well guess what, you're not "the nice guy," you're a jerk with an inferiority complex.

Congrats, you've become the embodiment of this meme:

So I guess the answer to this question is yes, I do feel like being mean spirited, to you.

Can I just say congratulations, this was a good post, and is totally worth the warning you are bound to get for it.

OT: Well, I'm a bit of a repressed middle class stereotype, so while on many occasions I have wanted to be mean spirited to many people (and have been very mean inside my head), I have been too polite (Read: Cowardly) to go through with it. But props to those of you who do. I imagine it's quite good stress relief.

(I do however, like the guy above, always insult my friends, and vice-versa, but that's never mean spirited).

 

[Risingblade]

I'm mean spirited but I cancel it out by being fucking adorable~

 

[Hoplon]

Being mean spirited? round here? blimey, who would do that?

These charming people would never stoop so low as to be mean spirited.

The very idea is hilarious!

As for my self I would never! sarcastic a lot, but never mean spirited.

 

[Johnny Impact]

I don't know if I'd call myself mean-spirited. Truly mean-spirited people victimize. I don't victimize, I just like the idea of retribution against the wicked. For example:

Anyone mean enough to think taking advantage of the mentally handicapped is funny http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.405088-Moments-that-killed-any-semblence-of-social-life-you-have?page=3#16818951 should be kicked in the face until they are beyond the reach of cosmetic surgery. Every time they look in the mirror, they will see the scars and remember what they did to get them.

 

[excalipoor]

Mean-spirited people make me want to be mean-spirited.

I generally try to step back and just let it go, as I genuinely loathe these people, and I'm all stocked up on self-loathing. I'm also a big babby who can dish it out if I want to, but can't take it for shit. So there's that.

 

[manic_depressive13]

Huh? You talk about people behind their back and then get mad at your friend's boyfriend for telling them what you said? So now you hate your "friend" because she doesn't like other people's opinions on vegetarianism? Unless she runs around slapping burgers out of people's hands I don't think that makes her quite the villain you seem to think it does.

this. plus i tend to feel guilty later on, i make everything they do seem small and i "Mountain out of molehill" my little smartass remark i might have raised against them, so i tend to feel bad later when they clearly don't deserve any sort of remorse or apology.

there is a line though, if someone is doing something truly horrible or is treating another human being just in an atrociously low way, i go from a defcon 5 to a defcon 2 on that person; it happens very rarely thankfully, but dammit if there aren't some things out there that don't cause me to hulk out. There might be tons of people i don't get along with or truly find bad, but there is only one person i have blocked on facebook, and that is truly because of their ignorance and self absorbed bullshit, it's like a blackhole where it sucks in everyone and everything and just causes you to be cynical beyond belief.

I think you can act really nice but be really mean spirited in a master mind kind of way.
So yes I think it is ok to be mean spirited. lol

I think after about 200 posts this became my outlet for mean-spiritness for the sake of it. At least I learned that forcing myself to participate yields poor results.

Off topic but I think the Captcha just friend-zoned me.

 

[The Funslinger]

I think lately I've tended to be mean-spirited accidentally. I just say rather sarky things without thinking about them, and people take more offense than I expected.

I'm trying to work on that, honestly. It doesn't so much happen here, probably because I'm typing it out and I see what I'm saying before it's out there.

Agreed. The only time I feel obligated to be an ass hole is when I'm arguing with ignorant peeps on this website. I know I shouldn't let myself do it, but I can't just let people be wrong can I?
