Yeah no one is perfect despite of this fact people are running after perfection it makes them do various negative things. Brining other person down is also one of them. People feel if they bring you down they will excel. This is not healthy practice but many people try this.

People will bring you down to make them feel better, because you are better than them. Don't let them know that they get to you. There are people out there that care. People will help you. Yes the world may cheat, but that doesn't mean that we can fight back. Believe, and thing will come true.

Hello most of the time there's a reason behind why they're acting like that 1 usually people who bring others down are jealous of the other person, they might say they're better than them but what they say is different than what's on their mind 2 maybe they're subconsciously comparing themselves to the other person 3 they're taking their anger out on that person or they are just really bored and for some twisted reason they're taking it out on others however no confident person would actually bother to bring another person down thank you for reading i hope this was helpful

Some people just don't know how to put themselves in other people's shows. And sometimes, how they apply to people how they see themselves.

Because they feel horrible about themselves and want their misery to be accompanied. Its nothing personal

Because they think seeing someone do worse than themselves will make them feel happy, sadly the opposite is true but that is something the 'people' in question will have to find out on their own and they will one day.

It's all dependent on your perception of a situation. If a person wants to bring you down, you must first find out if their intention is to bring you down and if they want to bring you down...what is their motive?

Sometimes this behavior could mean they are worried themselves or lack self-esteem, or they like to be in control, which means they will bring others down to feel superior themselves. Other times they will do it out of jealousy. Regardless of the reason why they do it, one should know that you've done nothing wrong, and you are not inferior to them. It is good to understand why they behave that way, because it helps you overcome what they do. Sometimes they need professional help themselves, and sometimes they don't even notice what they are doing. Some of them needs good faithful advice and need encouragement and need to be praised for their good behaviour. others are just being mean. Embracing yourself would be your immune system against their behaviour. Good luck!

Some people do it to make themselves feel better. I used to do it based off of me being bullied and a young child.

I think just the people who are unsatisfied with themselves are putting others down. They know exactly that noone is perfect, but maybe the society tell us we have to.
