What makes a person obsess with what another person does with themselves?

I am just curious what gets another person to obsess over another person when it is a negative obsession. I mean it bothers that individual terribly. Like for instance my being Transgender. I get so many people get to bagging on me, yet not a single one has ever met me. And some will persist for days to weeks to months and even years stalking through the internet just to cry out how terrible it is that I am Transgender. What creates a person like that?

It's a good question. I'd say it all comes down to personal insecurity, fear and a need to have others be worse off than they are. And it applies to all kinds of people or groups. Not just trans.
As hard as I imagine it is, if you just try to remind yourself that THEY have the issues, THEY are weak and THEY need to live in a world of hate, it'll make it that much easier to dismiss them. You don't want to get pulled down to their level. That's what they want. Fuck 'em. They're not worth it. Good luck.
