How to use "Unkindness" in context?
Most people would consider being unkind to be a negative trait, but there can be some benefits to behaving unkindly. According to a study published in the journal "Personality and Social Psychology Review," being unkind to others can make us feel better about ourselves.
People who behave in a unkind way to others feel superior in some way. They feel as if they are better able to handle difficult situations and that other people are not worth their time. This can lead to them feeling more successful, powerful, and in control.
On the other hand, behaving unkindly can also have negative consequences.
