People who make fun of people who are trying to improve themselves are caught in their own trap of dysfunction and handicap themselves to the same degree they are attempting to handicap others, but they are too unaware to be aware of it.

Maybe. I feel like they don't realize that they are helping themselves, and with people making fun of others that are trying to help will make others not try to find out. It's basically bullying.
