Why do people belittle one another?
It's an easy question to ask, but an uncomfortable one to answer. Some of my characters do it - one in particular comes to mind, but I've never understood why he does it, and that's always held the story back. I know he's a dick, but I don't know what made him that way.
Why do real people belittle each other? To make themselves feel better? Learned behavior? A weakness for an easy joke?
I wish I knew. Maybe I could stop myself from doing it, as well.
