Its ok, some people are just not happy unless they are causing grief on other people. Dont take it personally there are a lot of very unhappy people in this earth. Just look past it and remember that no one can change how your feel about yourself except you.

You weren't socially acceptable because you went against the crowd. Though you were really doing the right thing, they are buttheads and have excluded you from the clique. Be to the point about it and ask them why they are being hypocrits... if they are rude find a new circle...

I get along well with men and have had a little difficulty over the years getting along with some women. I know part of it comes from having a mother, a female guardian  and girlfriends being mean to me when I was young. Today, I have plenty of female friends. \n\nI am a nice person and I know I am. I try and remember that if people are mean to me, it's about them, not me. If you're doing the best you can to be friendly and people are turning away from you, find some better people to hang out with. \n\nExamine your behavior to see if you are giving off any negative signals. Smile and be cheerful even if someone doesn't like you. Feel what you feel and let them feel whatever they want. You don't have any control over them anyway. Find a solution to your problems, leave the complaining for someone else. \n\nToday, I like myself so much that I find people are drawn to me. I hope you can find that place too.

Sweetie, there is nothing wrong with being a nice person. Nothing at all. And you can still get what you need/want by being a nice person. Sometimes though, you have to assert yourself. That doesn't mean being a B*tch. That means the next time you go to check into work, and someone butts in front of you, or the person checking you in lets someone get ahead of you, you simply step up and say firmly and politely "So sorry, but I was here first". Being assertive and getting what you need is not being mean. Sounds like you almost have a case of being too nice. Don't let people push you around. Unfortunately some people percieve kindness as weakness...Prove them wrong.

DAM WHY DID YOU ASK THIS ? \nI HATE TO SAY THIS TO YOU, BUT I WOULD BE 1 OF THOSE RUDE PEOPLE, BUT NOT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO. IT'S SO QUICK WHEN YOU BY PASS SOMEONE. THEREFORE IN MY HEAD I JUST THINK WHY DIDN'T YOU SMILE BACK HOW RUDE OF ME, MOST OF THE TIME PEOPLE ARE THINKING VERY HARD OF SOMETHING, WELL I CAN ONLY TALK FOR MY SELF, BUT I DO FEEL BAD WHEN THAT HAPPENS, I'M SORRY .

Rudeness sometimes is born from feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy.  Experiencing and displaying anger gets you closer to feeling in control.  People who are rude are usually hurting from something.  Many people are rude to others because they hate themselves.  They're convinced that everyone will see their flaws and reject them.  Quite often they treat strangers badly to punish them in advance of the inevitable rejection.  Very sad when you really think about it...

Well, we can't understand what you are talking about . . . it you keep deleting your question . . . because you don't like how the other people are answering.\n\nMe, at times, I can be rude . . . especially . . . when other people give people wrong advice and it is the only way I could get their attention.  Sometimes I can be rude . . . because I am an a*hole too . . . \n\nAnd I am serious too.

Maybe you should come out of your shell. Learn to talk to people before they talk to you. People are so judgmental and that's what makes the world horrible. Don't let them get to you, if you  are comfortable with the way you are, that's just fine, you'll fine the right people in time. Don't change for anyone, be happy with the way you are, if they misunderstand you in a bad way, blow them off that's there lost...=)

I don't necessarily believe that people are mean.  What I do believe is that people are scared and when you are scared you will do anything to protect yourself and the ones you love. We live in a fear based society. Fear is a very powerful emotion and I believe it manifests into what some may call "meanness".

just ignore them, those people are trying to make ur self esteem down, have confidence in urself. and don't allow anyone to degrade you.\nIf you had to answer then tell them:  Yes I am mad because I allowed myself to talk to someone silly and  shallow like you.

Being rude and disrespectful to ANYONE takes away time that would be better spent doing other things. HATE is a very strong word and I have avoided it my whole life. Why not try to look inside yourself and see what makes you hate someone. Then try to resolve that hate. Do you feel the person is rude and disrespectful to YOU? Do you feel the person doesn't treat you right? DON'T put up with that from anyone. Speak on it and resolve it. If the person still won't act right, just avoid and ignore them.-- Don't let anyone bite your joy. Kind of hard to avoid and ignore someone who has authority over you so I would suggest you work on a resolution or else get ready to vacate....\ngood luck

I don't know why, but it seems that there are many people who simply enjoy hurting others.  I suspect it stems from them feeling powerless and insecure, so they get a small charge to their own egos when they can make someone else feel bad. \n\n There are, also, others who simply take advantage of people - they see goodness and kindness as a kind of weakness they can exploit for their own means.\n\nDon't let this turn YOU bitter, though.  Remember to tell yourself that those people, in the end, will suffer for it when they find they lack solid, real and loving friendships in their lives.
