Often, they have a big pit of negative about something in their lives that they can't or won't address directly. So they shit on others in order to make themselves feel better, consciously or not. When someone's quite obviously being negative for the sake of being negative or mean...I try to remind myself that they've got some big unpleasantness in their lives, and try as they might, unless they have some intitutionally mandated power over me (boss, landlord, parents) or they're someone I give a shit about...they're worthy of pity and that's about it.
Thank you for your show. It made me slightly less confused, even if I still haven't the faintest idea how people can have much negativity about anything, really.
