There are many reasons that can lead a person to constantly criticize others, several of them are especially frequent. The main one is that judging another is an easy and simple way to feel superior to someone and, by comparison, to feel better about oneself.
Cuando una de estas personas formula un pensamiento dirigido a hundir a otra persona (ya sea pronunciándolo en voz alta o guardándoselo para sí), en realidad está tratando de evadirse temporalmente de la ruina que es su propia autoestima. Y lo más negativo de estas personas no es lo que ocurre cuando piensan en términos negativos o denigrantes acerca de alguien más, ya que esta clase de ideas son tan simples y poco elaboradas que nadie tiene por qué tomárselas en serio.
When one of these people formulates a thought aimed at bringing someone else down (either by uttering it out loud or keeping it to themselves), they are actually trying to temporarily escape the ruin that is their own self-esteem. And the most negative thing about these people is not what happens when they think in negative or demeaning terms about someone else, since these kinds of ideas are so simple and unelaborated that no one needs to take them seriously.
Lo más negativo es lo que está ocurriendo durante el resto del tiempo en su propia mente, es decir, un resentimiento que somete totalmente a la autoestima. Del mismo modo en el que quienes piensan obsesivamente en una idea que les causa ansiedad tratan de buscar distracciones de manera desesperada, como abusos de comida, el consumo de drogas, alcohol, juegos de apuestas, molestar a alguien haciéndose pasar por otros, cuentas falsas en redes sociales, desprestigiar, señalar, hablar mal , destruir, hay quien trata de rescatar su autoimagen por un breve instante creando la ficción de que se está muy por encima de alguien más.
The most negative thing is what is going on during the rest of the time in their own mind, that is, a resentment that totally subdues the self-esteem. In the same way in which those who think obsessively about an idea that causes them anxiety try to look for distractions in a desperate way, such as food abuse, drug consumption, alcohol, gambling, annoying someone by impersonating others, false accounts on social networks, discrediting, pointing, badmouthing, destroying, there are those who try to rescue their self-image for a brief moment by creating the fiction that they are far above someone else.
Es por eso que, en una época en la que la lucha de egos está a la orden del día, no debemos tomar como normal esos arranques de desprecio hacia otros con los que algunas personas tratan de hacerse notar ante otros y ante sí mismos. Quien necesita arrojar piedras a los demás para mantenerse a flote está mostrando claramente que no tiene nada que ofrecer y que solo le queda pedir ayuda.
That is why, at a time when the struggle of egos is the order of the day, it is wise not to take as normal those outbursts of contempt for others with which some people try to be noticed by others and by themselves. Those who need to throw stones at others to keep themselves afloat are clearly showing that they have nothing to offer and can only ask for help.
You have indeed spoken brilliantly. Sometimes people tend to criticize you because they are jealous they couldn't achieve what you have achieved
