There are a few people who are only here to be mean.\n\nThere are lots of people here who genuinely want to share their beliefs.\n\nThere are a couple like myself who like to play devil's advocate for both sides.

consider it a form of flattery, and just try to be nice.  If the person is mean and hateful, just try to keep your distance and always take the higher road.

People are cruel, heartless creatures that like to pick on people different than them.  If they see them as less than them or weaker, they move in for the kill to make themselves feel bigger and better.  Low self-esteem...too much esteem.  Jerks!

Because we have a lot of people out there who aren't really as mature on the inside as they behave on the outside, and enjoy planting strife or get a laugh at doing or saying something truly rude.\n\nLot of truly deadbeat people out there. Some you can't love, because not everybody really wants to be loved.

Simply ignore such rude, crude and shallow people!  Do not allow them to embarrass or harass you; their complaint is their problem, not yours.  Frankly, such people have far too much time on their hands and are too d*a*m lazy to find something constructive to do, so they get their cheap, tawdry, tasteless little thrills by trying to bug others.  Next time one of them complains, look 'em right in the eye and say "Yeah? Deal with it!" and then just ignore them.

People are rude for different reasons. Some are just having a bad day, some are just uncultured. Its better not to let them get to you, and just ignore them

Why can't you spell simple words like 'stupid' correctly?\n  \nAnd why do some people (from the Ivy-covered walls of college profs to the ordinary man in the street) feel that criticizing others makes them somehow better than others who they aren't worthy to kiss the butts of? \n\nI think perhaps people are NOT perfect.  \n\nAMEN!!!!

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".

I'm not mean to you. I see a lot of people on this site have been very mean. They are just ignorant and immature people if they have to be mean to someone, especially over the internet. Some people don't care if they hurt other people's feelings or not. I can see from some of your other questions that you are feeling sad and depressed and I know the last thing you need is for some idiots to add fuel to the fire. I hope things really get better for you soon.

sometimes people haven't been trained to be polite and other times people use the net to be asses because they know here they can be the opposite of what hey are. They may be using this forum to vent or suffer from low self esteem. Eveyone's not like that sweetie.....keep hope alive!!

Some are bitchy and nasty because they are insecure. It is their way of coping with their insecurities. It is their way of letting other people feel that they are far better and greater. Being nasty is their way of boosting their confidence in themselves. So next time you encounter a bitchy or nasty person, just think that this is probably just a defense mechanism. Just think that maybe you are fortunate than them because you are happy about yourself and are not insecure :-)
