It's all relative.  It's not that they don't 'consider' what they are, they are simply 'ignorant' to who they are as a person and this lack of knowledge affects their morals and values as a result.

Many are rude because they are teenagers or extremely immature and they think they are sooooooooooo funny by doing it.  Some just put down anything to get points.  I think there are many who have very low self esteem and feel better about themselves by putting someone else down...it is a common thing for such people to do.  Sad, but true.

For me, someone is a snob when he/she clearly knows that I am there but refuses to acknowledge my presence.  It's a bit different from people who are just shy.  There are shy people who also don't feel comfortable around people they don't know but they at least smile or say a quick hello.  The snobs exude an air of superiority -- like, "Sure, I know you're there.  But who cares?  I won't even bother to smile or talk to you."

because your viewpoints oppose theirs.\n\nand by voicing it out, they might be afraid that you can influence others into having the same mindset as you.\n\nAlso, there's definitely racism and elitism in every social level. so when you are supporting someone or something that this social level looks down on, they of course, feel that they have a right to be rude!

Why? Because some people  are here only for the purpose of starting drama. Some people have been programmed that they are right all the time, 24/7. Some people will stop at nothing to prove that they are somehow better that you, and often do not consider the consequences of their actions. Every day I am forced to watch as people degrade themselves and others trying to give themselves the satisfaction of a false superiority.

I think shy people tend to only talk when they are spoken to first.  They avoid eye contact, and probably look uncomfortable if they are in a situation where they don't know many people.  I'm extremely shy (around people I don't know), and I've been told that I come off "mean" and act like I'm "better than everyone else" when really, I just can't get the courage up to talk to anyone!

From my experience, the English are aloof - they do their own thing and they are not proactively friendly.  This is NOT to say that they are boring or mean.  It's just that they don't go out of their way to be friendly nor wish to display excitement.  Stoicism at its finest.

What? YOu actually know someone who will yap about himself/herself?? I never do that. I am such a nice person to talk to, but I never monolpolise a discussion; i let the other to say Yes or No. I have knowledge about everything, I have something to add about anything one may say. How can someon go on blowing his/her own trumpet? I am such a well read person, i never do that. I am so intelligent that I understand what people will say and I complete their sentences.\n\nSo, what were you saying about people who monopolize a conversation? Oh I know' I know..there are these bad people.. How do people stand them.\n\nLOL , I am on 'their' side..LOL

New yorker's aren't a-holes, we're just very direct and very fast, and tend to get annoyed when others don't keep up. not alot of time for social niceties in the city that never sleeps. We're polite, just NY polite, i.e., a nod of the head as a greeting, taking the hand of a little kid who is scared to cross from the platform to the train, holding a cab for somebody who wants it after you just got out. All done wordlessly with no eye contact and maybe a muttered "thanks". We don't have time to gush, recieve gushing appreciation, or even engage in small talk, but it is nonetheless, our version of politeness.

Unfortunately in a world that promotes individualism, they leave the decision to be decent and courteous up to the individual.  Most ppl know in their hearts what is right and wrong (even without being taught) and most ppl know rather or not they are being rude.  Although, in some rare cases, rude ppl really just dont know they're being rude (usually due to upbringing or cultural differences)...Anyway....I dont think our standards have fallen...i dont know anyone who ENJOYS being disrespected.  However, i do believe we have failed ourselves and each other by allowing a busy schedule or our worry of "what others think" to disrupt our normal maintenance of good values and decency.\nSome ppl also use excuses to not be polite...."i've been hurt by so many already...im just gonna beat ppl to the punch and hurt them first or close them out so they cannot hurt me"....thoughts like that are prevailing high in America especially, now days.  Ppl are becoming more and more bitter or closed off due to hurt feelings or worst yet, vengeful feelings from past experiences.  Ppl of today, with their busy lives, find it quicker to close ppl out or hurt others to keep them away rather than spend a moment or two being kind.  We've become quite synical, critical and "closed", especially to ppl we do not know.\nDon't give up hope though...a lot of ppl still believe in manners and common courtesy...there are those that will be commonly corgeal and others that will go out of their way to make someone smile.  But you gotta take the good with the bad and try not to let the bad effect how you respond, while teaching the next generation to not get bitter...get better.\nkeep the faith in humanity...there's still some good out here :0)\nmarjenl72

Someone who had been my friend for 20 years said "You're a basically unlikeable person."  That was crrrrrruel, and it took me about a year to realize that 1) no-one in the world is unlikeable, why would I be so special 2) my other friends like me and 3) he's kinda an a-hole and just said it to be mean.

You will find silly people all through life! People sometimes just have terrible dispositions, and I don't know why! I think that people on here know that you don't know them, and they will never truly have to explain why they act the way they do. Therefore, they can be as rude as they want, and no one will ever know it was them. I don't take the website too seriously, but I respect people, and give honest answers. It would be nice if everyone played fair, but that isn't likely. I hope you have a good day, and try to have fun!

Many times a person who needs to be loud in conversation or the "Know-it-all" type, or the type that seems to not allow others to talk...is a person who is insecure and feels very low about themselves.  Their loud boisterous opinions and lack of being able to let others in on the conversation says that that person needs extra attention and has very poor communication skills.  Trying to tell them to "shut up" is NOT going to get the point across.  As a matter of fact...it might worsen the objective.  Perhaps if you make copy of this answer with your question and quietly and in private present it to this person...you may get somewhere.  Start with a "Hey...(his name)...can I please talk to you for a moment in private.  Then take him aside and let him know that you appreciate his input on things...however.."I'd like to let you know that there are people who have some input into the many conversations we have...as we have listened to you...perhaps you would be fair to listen to what some of us have to say."  "And by the way...eating/chewing with your mouth open or full is socially unacceptable...perhaps you didn't realize you were doing this...and as a friend, I thought I might let you know.  \nTwo wrongs never made a right...instead it makes a war.  So treat his rudeness with corrective/non-judgemental kindness and see if a greater response comes from your directives.  Thanks for caring enough to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

I have to be respectful of others in order to have any respect for myself.  Beyond that, there are very few people whose opinions of me I care about at all.\n\nNote: People like that are not respected, they are feared.  There is a very big difference.

Social graces have gone by the way-side.  People no longer have any idea of what is proper behavior in social situations.  The most eloquent person will apear crass and un-interesting if they present a profane arrogant front.

No, it's actually the opposite.  Being courteous and having manners are a way of showing you respect people - being rude is nothing more then a direct insult to the person you are dealing with for cheap attention.  They do it so that their third-party friend can be impressed; but in reality they are showing what their friend is in for from them if they ever get on their wrong side.\n\nThere really is nothing cooler then someone who knows how to carry himself (or herself) in a manner that has earned the respect from all. And there is nothing cool about trying to be cool by being disrespectful.  The guys you saw are just that: little boys.
