I have empathy for all people, but that doesn't mean I'm okay with people being mean and hurtful to one another. Why do it at all? Why do you want to put that negative energy out into the world? If every action we take can either lift someone up or shoot them down, why not all just help each other, pay it forward, and share the wealth of our species rather than trying to hurt one another all the time? It's not a matter of growing a backbone, it's a matter of growing as a person. Negativity will only weigh you down in the end, and people are usually mean to cover up their own insecurities. We can all find more healthy ways to deal with our problems.
You are very right. This is exactly why i think we should not just dismiss the mean people as assholes to be avoided. They do have insecurities and they need companionship just like everyone else. It's hard to get past their wall of negativity sometimes to see that they are actually a good person, or that they are actually being helpful (in the case of tough love), our that they just need help. And while these mean people are simply defending their insecurities, much of the rest of the world are simply avoiding their own insecurities when they dismiss the mean people. And the problem only gets worse when we become resentful toward them.
I didn't realize how multifaceted this issue was because there really is a lot of anger and meanness in the world. I don't think anyone should tolerate abuse or manipulation and i'm not trying to promote bullying or anything. I am just totally against anyone being singled out and made to feel like a lesser person, whether it be the mean person or the person receiving the meanness.
Is it normal that i'm not bothered by meanness?
