They must hurt, and want others to hurt as well. Being happy or sad...or being mean or kind is a decision that one makes when they open their eyes in the morning. One may not have control over how they are feeling physically, but in most cases they can control their attitude and mood for the day. Very often however, the "meanness" comes out after a few drinks. Most are probably good people, just needing others.
I don't know. I always feel most everything is my fault. I try VERY hard to understand people and that is easier somehow to do in person. For me..

Then sometimes you give someone the benefit of the doubt and you are saddened by their behavior eventually.
