I was lucky enough to learn this before I was 20. I was working front desk in a motel in the middle of nowhere. The majority of our guests were salesmen. There was one in particular that was well known for being a giant asshole, always talking down to everyone like we were just various piles of shit he had to step in. I absolutely hated the guy.
One week, his wife joined him for a stay. She was very sweet and nice to everyone, except her husband. She verbally whipped him constantly, he appeared half as tall whenever she was near. She treated him 3 times worse than he had ever treated us. It was then that I truly felt sorry for him. He hated himself and therefore could see nothing pleasant in the world.
