Why do we humiliate each other?

There's not root cause. People don't like one another for a variety of reasons. All you can do is look for less toxic relationships. You piece of shit.

I've met so many people in life who are like this, and I ignore them but damn why do they do it?

I believe that most times it's an agressive approach to transform or keep the pecking order in a social group.

If you step over someone it means you're not at the bottom and that assures you another day without the anxiety of being seen as what you truly are.

This. People put others down because it makes them feel better about themselves. 9 times out of 10, if someone has it out for you but you never actually did anything to them, you can bet it's because of feelings of jealousy or inferiority they harbor towards you.

People that are truly confident and sure of themselves are always sweet and genuine because they have no reason to trash talk others and put them down. The "cocky asshole" persona is an extremely thin facade that betrays a deep seated insecurity. I have a lot of friends like this - a lot of them are really good looking, talented, and funny (especially when being mean to people) but, having known them for years, they all are extremely insecure of themselves.

Incidentally, I think racism is mostly motivated by the same base instinct. It's easier to demonize others than to empathize with them.

I think you're right. I used to not believe this because it was hard for me to believe alphas were in secure. I have a black and white world view. But yore right. Am I naive?

The times when I truly humiliated a person, I barely knew them at all. What did happen was that on these occasions I was kind of the center of attention and the darling in the room. Dissing these people was about being a bit drunk in power. The worse I treated someone, more highly the rest of the group thought of me.
Nowadays I look back on it with shame and I can't even apologize, because I don't even know the names of those people.
I think the assessment that we do it to feel better about ourselves holds true, but you really need no reason at all to pick a target except it being on your face.

Some people find it funny to do so and the people they do it to want to get back at them.

I'm not saying this is good, I actually think it can be annoying as fuck, but that's just the way it is.
