Recently, an internet community had an interesting conversation about groups of people they have zero sympathy or empathy for. Thousands of people came together to deliver this list. Do you agree?
1. Affair Partners
A large number of people agree that affair partners are the worst. You’re willingly sleeping with someone who is betrothed to someone else—zero respect for vows or yourself.
One user elaborates, “Especially those who really expect their partner to divorce their spouse. The way you got them will be the way you lose them, so don’t come crying to me. If you were really as special to them as you think you are, they would’ve filled out the divorce papers before even starting a relationship with you. Be for real.”
2. Animal Abusers
People who harm animals came in at number two on the list, noting they are innocent. However, one notes that anyone who believes this to be accurate better be vegan. Otherwise, they neglect to acknowledge how factory farming works.
While loads of people downvoted this notion, after opening your mind, even a little too numerous documentaries detaining the torture and abuse, they’re not wrong. And no, I’m not a vegan. But wish to be so disciplined with principles regarding said abuse.
3. Abusive Parents
Countless folks agree that abusive parents deserve no sympathy. Nonetheless, one notates that these parents are typically repeating abuse cycles they endured from their parents so that some compassion can be extended, but not at the cost of their children suffering for it.
Generational trauma typically requires mental health care to work through your own before repeating it with children. Unfortunately, mental health care is insanely expensive, and not many of the people who come from those backgrounds do not have access to affordable help.
4. Drunk Drivers
Drunk driving is rightfully acknowledged as a selfish act that consciously puts the lives of innocent people in danger and causes 23 deaths each day in the U.S. alone. Several people chimed in to protest this offense with sad stories of knowing people who lost spouses and children due to “idiot drunk drivers.”
One clarifies a recent tragedy involving a bride and groom who were just married and hit while crossing the road. The bride immediately died, and the groom suffered injuries. “The driver was going over 60 in a 25 and had a BAC of 0.28. No sympathy for that driver indeed.”
5. People Who Talk or Text While Driving
Another equally dangerous group of drivers on the road today are people who can’t put their cell phones down and pay attention to the road. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that driving while texting is six times more dangerous than driving drunk.
And yet everywhere I look, people are texting while driving. It’s not just texting. It’s doing stupid TikToks behind the wheel of a vehicle or even getting out of a moving car to do ridiculous TikTok trends. I fear it will only get worse with each generation.
6. Televangelists
Sadly, I have people in my family who send their hard-earned money to these televangelist programs, and I’ll never understand why. I love Jesus, and I am all for charity. But it is apparent how many of these snaky people manipulate people out of their life savings under the false pretense of salvation that isn’t theirs to sell.
Jesus did that for all of us on the cross. You don’t need to pay for it. Countless individuals call out Kenneth Copeland individually. Something about him buying Tyler Perry’s private jet doesn’t sit right. One user says, “Add to that faith healers. If they could do that, why aren’t they clearing out hospitals.” I agree.
7. Willyfully Ignorant People
Another group of people this forum has zero sympathies for is willfully ignorant folks. “I don’t know what you mean, and I don’t care!” spouts one. I think we all know someone like this. The person who doesn’t want to know and even says stupid things like, “Ignorance is bliss,” to avoid taking accountability.
8. People Who Participate in Competitive Suffering
Or as Dave Chappelle puts it, “Comparative suffering” is when someone feels the need to explain why their suffering is more significant than yours. For example, one elaborates, “I hate when I go to work tired, and I’m like, ‘I’m tired; I got six hours of sleep,’ and my coworker is like, ‘I got three; that’s not even that bad.'”
9. People Who Harm the Elderly
People who have bashed the elderly made the list of despicable people. One user explains, “I have nursed a few older people who have been assaulted for various reasons, and it’s heartbreaking to think someone could hurt such a vulnerable person.”
10. Violent Police Officers
The subject of police brutality is not new and is, unfortunately, becoming more frequently reported. During the George Floyd protests, numerous people exercising their rights to protest peacefully were victims of police violence. One such instance is brought up in the thread.
Police officers from the Buffalo Police Department pushed 75-year-old Martin Gugino during a confrontation, causing him to fall to the ground and bleed from his ear. Gugino sustained a brain injury and was still unable to walk nearly two weeks later while spending four weeks in the hospital.
Another user shares, “This especially rings true here in Australia right now, as a week ago, a 95-year-old woman was tased by a police officer and later died of her injuries. How could you bring yourself to do that to someone so vulnerable?”
11. Poachers
Countless forum members express having no sympathy for animal poachers. “Killing endangered species for ancient Chinese medicine and things like that,” one states. Another adds poachers who take things like elephant tusks for ivory before one says, “Also, the rhinos here in South Africa.”
12. The Westboro Baptist Church
Another notorious group of hateful individuals, the Westboro Baptist Church, made this list of groups for which people have no sympathy. They are the lunatics who hold up signs protesting military funerals if they are members of the LGBTQ community. They do not represent the whole of Christianity.
13. Political Extremists
Political extremists from both sides of the political fence are called out. One user clarifies, “Extreme leftists who spout dangerous rhetoric without any logic. Extreme right-wingers who talk without compassion and empathy.”
14. Fascists
Facists emphasize extreme nationalism, militarism, and the supremacy of the nation and a single, powerful leader over individual citizens. Groups such as the KKK and Nazis fall under this umbrella.
15. Sex Offenders
One of the most heinous crimes discussed frequently in the forum is those associated with sex offenders. While none are earning any sympathy from the group, those who assault children receive the most criticism and disdain.

In your opinion, which profession attracts the worst kinds of people? I’ll go first and say sales. Good Lord. I was the manager of a cell phone store, and it’s cutthroat, and why I didn’t make it. It was my first and only time working for a commission, and I was dumbfounded at what people would do to make a sale.
