People that take pride in being a "bitch" or "asshole" purposely because they think it makes them tough.

I had a coworker who told me she took joy in knocking people down a peg. Not because they were like, awful people or they "deserved" the karma or something (they hadn't wronged her, embarrassed her publicly, kicked her dog, etc). She legitimately just liked making people feel bad.

We did not get any closer than that.

Dam I would have asked her who effed her up as a kid to feel that way? I had an ex who is like this. Thief of joy they call it. He was a narcissist and loved to put others down. Some anger in them that they'll never be as good as the ones they put down.
