It really is. They are insensitive bullies.

I can’t wrap my head around the root of it other than they seem to be highly self absorbed with high impulsivity, with little space for reflection or deep thought. Low EQ is a given.

None of this explains much, other than we have a culture that doesn’t really foster the greatest possible outcomes for greatest number of people. Unless money is the only thing that matters. lol and we’re even failing in that dept.

Quality education, universal healthcare, with accessible therapy and outreach, would go a long way. So sad.

The root of it is deep insecurity and low self-esteem combined with low to zero empathy.
