How Do People Like This Become Who They Are?

00:01 There's something I just can't understand:

00:03 how can some people be so mean?

00:08 For example,

00:10 I posted a question on a certain app.

00:14 And

00:16 the question involved two industries.

00:22 Some people left

00:25 comments below.

00:27 I responded to their comments

00:30 with some of my own thoughts.

00:35 Then someone suddenly appeared

00:37 and left one sentence:

00:39 "You look ignorant about both industries."

00:47 Then he blocked my account.

00:50 I was stunned,

00:53 or just upset.

00:54 What had I done

00:57 to make him go that far?

01:00 He had to leave a comment humiliating me,

01:04 or rather,

01:05 looking down on me from above.

01:13 I had wanted to reply:

01:15 I've never worked in either industry,

01:18 or spoken with people in them,

01:22 so seeming ignorant

01:24 should be fairly normal, shouldn't it?

01:28 Why did he need to act that way?

01:31 Leaving someone

01:33 with a baffling remark was bad enough.

01:36 But then he blocked my account too.

01:38 What did that mean?

01:41 So I looked at his profile.

01:44 Since he'd blocked me,

01:47 I couldn't see anything he'd posted.

01:49 I could only see his following

01:53 and how many followers he had.

01:56 He followed over 7,000 accounts

01:59 and

02:01 had about 40 followers.

02:05 I genuinely couldn't understand it.

02:07 What kind of person

02:08 follows over 7,000 accounts?

02:13 I mean...

02:16 I know I shouldn't dwell on this,

02:19 but I just can't understand

02:21 how someone ends up like that.

02:26 Even if you think someone is ignorant,

02:28 you can simply ignore them.

02:31 But you still insist on leaving a comment.

02:35 I even thought,

02:36 it would've been fine to just block me.

02:38 I wouldn't know you'd done it.

02:41 But you still left a comment first.

02:44 I truly, truly can't understand it.

02:49 That incident

02:50 reminded me of another comment.

02:53 On that app, I once bought Northeastern Chinese rice.

02:59 I really love rice,

03:02 but I'm also very picky.

03:05 I want every bag I buy

03:08 to meet my standard for rice I enjoy.

03:12 So

03:12 I keep trying different kinds

03:14 until I find one that tastes good to me.

03:19 One day, I bought a Northeastern variety.

03:22 After I cooked it,

03:24 the grains looked glossy and translucent.

03:26 It had a rice aroma,

03:28 and when I chewed it,

03:32 it had the feel of good rice.

03:35 I took a photo

03:37 and posted it in the product reviews.

03:40 A very long time later,

03:43 someone left a comment.

03:46 He said...

03:49 what was it again?

03:52 He said the hand visible in my photo

03:57 looked like I gave good hand jobs.

04:05 I was utterly baffled.

04:09 The focus should have been

04:10 the bowl of rice in my hand.

04:12 But he noticed my hand

04:15 and commented

04:16 that it looked fair and soft,

04:20 and like I gave good hand jobs.

04:22 At the time,

04:26 I had no idea how to answer him.

04:29 I really wanted to snap back at him.

04:32 But in that context,

04:35 even doing so would've brought no satisfaction.

04:38 So I simply ignored him.

04:44 These people—

04:47 how did they become this way?

04:50 What does their daily life

04:51 actually look like?

04:53 How do they treat the people around them?

04:56 I'm deeply curious.

04:57 What kind of person

05:00 are they, really?

05:02 And by "curious," I don't mean

05:06 I'm especially fascinated by this person.

05:08 I'm curious about how he became this way—

05:12 how he was shaped,

05:13 and what that process looked like.

05:18 It makes me want to say it again:

05:21 some people make me feel the world

05:24 has become stranger than I ever imagined.
