Why do people feel the need to be nasty?

I do not understand why people like to talk nasty , I do not know so much about people in your country, but I have seen a lot from the movies, most of the people like to use the four-letter word a lot .

I am afraid that there are horrible, petty minded people everywhere Munchkin and the Internet is no exception. I looked at your picture and all that I saw was a very attractive young woman. I have a daughter a little younger than you and I shall give you the same advice that I would give her. Do not let the nasties get to you. You are better than them. Be proud of who you are and what you have achieved. Treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself. Take care. I hope that you make a lot of good friends here. But not so many that you neglect to go out locally and do some serious dancing and socialising!

Hello there Munchkin, it seems to me that these people are 'green with envy' for you or downright jealous. I'd say you don't bother them at all because they are just perhaps a bunch of nothing-better-to-do depressed people going around and labeling people and etc. I'd say to them to 'get a live' if I were you and that you are just happy the way you are and that you don't owe them a living. There are many nice people around us, but there are also that are truly jealous with us and they will make it a point to see us getting 'down and hurt'. Don't really bother with those comments that much, sweetie and I think you are gorgeous as can be. Like I said, they are probably "JEALOUS". This is my perspective as a guy for you. Take care and have a sweet day ahead.

Oh i'm sorry hun but i wouldn't take any notice of it at all what so ever i have had similar comments and hence don't spend alot of time on myspace anymore. plus alot of my friend prefer facebook. These people feed of negative energy (sorry finding it difficult to type as my cats decided i'm not paying her enough attention and is putting her head on my left hand while i'm trying to type lol) they want you to be upset or respond this is how they get their kicks. I would just brush it off like water off a ducks back. If it helps i looked at your picture you don't look fat or ugly to me you look pretty and from what i have seen in discussions very sweet natured. Just ignore these fools in reality they are the ones that are probably lonely and low with little self confidence or friends and thats why they have time to waste lashing out at other people.

very simple.,.,.they want to be nasty,.,do you have myspace.com can you add me up?... here is my mail,.,seriousman04@gmail.com thnx,.,.see yah soon.,. im not nasty,.,,i dont want to insult people that i never met.....those people who are very nasty,.,.they scared,.,.

All I can say is that person is obviously blind, because in my opinion you're far from being fat or ugly. i think you're right, they're just trying to stir up a reaction.

Charming lol. I would never dream of saying anything like that to anybody. Even if I thought it. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder and not everyone finds the same thing attractive but you are not fat or ugly. This person probably said it purely for the sake of nastiness and to uspet you. I know that doesnt really help because you are probably wondering why someone you dont know and someone you have not given any reason to be nasty to you would be. Simple fact is they do it to amuse themselves and it doesnt matter who you are are the fact that you have not done anything to them. They have probably sent the same message to someone who is a size 6. Often people who say stuff like that dont really look at your picture to see if you re fat or whatever but will say you are fat, ugly to hurt you because they know you wont like it. Ive lost a lot of weight and still consider myself fat (Ive been told Im not buy hey Im a girl lol)but when I was bigger if someone called mr fat Id say ok cos all they were doing was describing me so why get upset? They were saying it to be nasty but they failed miserably. Another thing to remember is that people hide behind their computer screens. I know Im more chatty and opinionated than when I actually talk in real life and if this person saw you in real life they probably would not dare to say what they did to you.

The thing is I don't understand why you would let something like that disturb you, from your picture I can see that you are a very pretty woman and whoever wrote that is only a person who must have some big personal problems and is probably being offensive to anyone he or she can.

who knows why people do the things they do. but ya i think tht ur right i do think tht he wanted a reaction out of u or just on there to piss people off. persoanly i think tht ur a very hot looking women. ya i've gotten messages like tht on myspace before, i just report them and block them. its just sad tht someone life is all about putting people down like tht. u should set up ur account so tht only friends can send u messages. u should really get upset if someone says tht to u when u dont even know them, every one has their own opinion, it dosent have to effect u. if it came form a friend thts a whole different thing. dont let things tht people u dont even know effect u, ur better then tht and theres alot of other people out there tht would think other wise.

girl relax, you'll get high blood pressure with that. (just trying to make you smile) i checked your pic before making this response. and i was surprised that that someone labeled you that way and the only thing that comes to my mind is that, s/he must be wearing some eyeglasses and that needs to be corrected already. s/he should pay a visit to her/his optometrist if there's a need to increase the grade of the eyeglasses. oftentimes people who could say nasty words are the person who felt the same way or perhaps it was them who they are describing. they're just trying to put the blame to the others and they are those who are attention deficit individuals. i always have this principle in me that if my happiness doesn't depend on that person then who cares. that person is not worthy of your attention and your time is not worth going to her/his level. don't do anything or make a response, you will make that person boil up and be happy for what have s/he caused you, just hit the delete button in your account and ignore. geezz, if you are not committed i would love you to be my girl. you are just damn gorgeuos.!!

The thing with cretins like that is, they have a very negative image of themselves (probably with good reason) and the only way they can feel good about themselves is to try and do other people down. This loser probably emailed a whole bunch of people with the same message, so my advice is just to forget him - he's nothing. Besides, going by the picture you use on MyLot, I'd say you've got nothing to worry about. ;-)

It's pathetic that's what i think. They do it because they have nothing better to do with their time than be a stupid bully. And they do it because they know it's going to make you upset or feel insecure and perversely strange people out there get satisfaction from bringing people down. If the pic tht was on your myspace is the one in your dp atm then i suggest you ignore the idiot who said tht, basically because they're blind. Best thing you can do with people like that is to just not care what they think as long as your happy with yourself. If they are intentionalyl trying to wreck your spirit and your confidence then they aren't worth the thought. Hard to ignore but if you don't then the bully wins.

There will always be some who will take great pleasure from making the lives of others miserable,and that is something that we have to learn to accept in life,but it does not make it any easier.The best way to deal with this kind of unpleasantness is to just ignore the situation,do not rise to it,they will then get their kicks from seeing you made mad.

Hi Munchkin. I am sorry someone did that to you. I feel some people has to make themselves feel good by belittleing others, evidently this person has a very big problem and is not happy with themselves for some reason. I won't let that mess touch me they nothing about you. I hate to put a labor on people but that is what you call ignorant and stupid. I bet some of our MyLot friends could give him a great big reaction.

So sad. But then my take on it is that you're much more happier than them. You look happy and of course pretty, and they have nothing else to do and are wasting precious time. You're living your life and they don't appreciate it. That's their problem. The important thing is, again, you are happy and you are having a great time living everyday as you are. I can't say that they're closed minded though. Probably at that time they're just killing time but again, it's just plain rude. Just ignore them and move on. They aren't worth your time. Take care my friend.

Ohht First of all let me tell u you are so beautiful....and cute .....One who said such ugly words must be a mad .....just remember that on this earth there are very few good people than stupid ones....otherwise this world would have been heaven. I dont know pic in your mylot profile is your real pic or not....but its very cute pic....yes...even you are really good person by heart....you are broad minded....and you are courageous also to tell whats in your heart... So pls dont listen to few mad person...just ignore them Thanku Ganesh

Usually the reason someone would say something like that is because they are jealous of you. That is just a stupid way of showing that they want to hurt you and make you feel bad because they feel bad about themselves. Yes, people can be very mean at times. I don't know why, but I have experienced this many times myself. You need to ignore them because when you do that it makes them angrier then when you show them that it is upsetting you. Just make like you don't care, and it doesn't bother you and I'm sure they will leave you alone.

i never understood why people feel the need to be rude and mean, i guess its cause there unhappy and miserable and they want to make other people unhappy to iv been on other sites where people have been mean, and rude to me and had never met me to i just try to ignore it and not let it get to me because that's what they want.

sometimes someone will make us feel unhappy .in this place we should keep our temper and donnot think it .that is ok

Unfortunately, this question seems to get asked a lot, which shows that a lot of people must get upsetting, nasty answers. I guess it's down to cowardly cyber bullies venting their frustration with their own lives by taking it out on strangers, while hiding behind an avatar. And some are just childish. Best thing is to ignore it and not take it personally. They probably do it to everyone not just you. You often see that they get a few thumbs down, so it shows that there are a lot people willing to say 'hey - that's not on!'.
