 they're not hypothetical. people are extremely nasty for a myriad of reasons. most prominently if you have something good going for you -- either they hate you for it, or they want to steal it, grift on it, etc. hell I've seen people lose their shit if someone had the opportunity to grift and had morals, MAJORITY of people are of this moral compass societally now

perhaps when people are mean to you you must be ascribing it to something about yourself instead of their responsibility to treat you better -- oh wait isn't it strange that you're here bitching that people should treat you better? maybe you should follow your own advice and shut up, take it, and not complain about such nonsense. this is the philosophy you've chosen

I don't think it's a good person trait to trivialize other people's suffering, experiences, especially after positioning whining as gifting people wisdom 
 You must be a very sad person, I feel sorry for you.
