I don't get why people try to shame strangers. A friend of mine wants me to go with her for jogs because she wants to lose some weight by summer. So this morning we went for a jog, and then sat down to relax and just talk. Two men walked by and made comments about her weight. In the past, I've been a victim to strangers making rude comments, so it's something that made me really angry. Why say something to a completely random person you're likely never going to see again? What good comes from it? Is it because they get a few seconds boost of self-esteem by shaming someone? Luckily my friend is the opposite of me, if someone made a comment to me I wouldn't say anything. However, she did stand up for herself which is good. I just don't get the point though. I don't understand people trying to hurt others that they know, but it doesn't make sense to do it to someone you'll never see again either.

I think they were probably trying to impress each other with their "humor" If they were alone they probably would have not said anything. But I have seen people make rude comments by themselves too, like putting down people fast food workers. My guess is that they are trying to feel good about themselves by pointing out their superiority. Some people are just that mean and self centered.
I'm sorry to hear that. It's one thing to not know that you're hurting someone or be in denial. It's another to KNOW it and keep doing it. I'm trying to understand why a person would do it knowing that they are. Do they hate you?
No. They hurt people, even ones they love, for kicks, and it's almost like instinct to them. They don't think of what they're doing to their victims, and probably lack empathy.

It's pretty bad when they're making fun of someone who's making the effort to lose weight. We've come to the point where people will put down others for their own amusement because this day and age we abuse our right to free speech. Especially in the internet age.
I know there will be people that will disagree with me, but when it comes down to it what other excuse is there?
