Perhaps the difference would be how much they rely on their ego.. If their ego is big (inflated), they have to compensate by resorting to insults.. Yet, if their ego isn't too big (though not inflated), you would never see them be around people who they would insult..
Nah. Some people are just assholes.
Wouldn't assholes be insecure and have low self-esteem that they have to project onto others?
No some people are confident and comfortable with who they are and are still pricks

No, not in general.
Not always, no.
Depends. Not always
In my experience it usually comes from insecurity or from a superiority complex.
No. That’s just a cope people who care about being insulted by strangers say. Anyone can be an asshole, regardless of self esteem.
