Why do people have to be so mean?

I heard a saying once that people who are mean to you are just jealous of what you have. So maybe thats her problem. I had someone be mean to me teh other day. thank goodness it was online i just put them on ignore. didnt stoop to there level

Yeah, I knew someone just like that. She wasn't happy unless there was drama! I think it has to do with a jealousy thing and trying to make it look like her life is just so much better, when in all actuality her life is nothing, but lies and cruilty.

I've known many people like this during my lifetime. I actually met someone my freshman year of college which was about 3 years or so ago that seemed like a pretty nice person. We started talking and hanging out and doing things together and we noticed this attitude slowly start to emerge and none of us could figure out what the deal was. Before we knew it, we were constantly getting an attitude about the littlest of things. Eventually we discovered when a roommate of mine and myself were getting into fights a lot, she was constantly going behind our backs talking to a guy that she and my roommate both liked telling him lies about what we were doing and he'd tell my roommate which in turn would make our lives heck. Then she'd lie and say that she heard things about us and things were never said. It ended up causing the loss of a friendship because she was running her mouth. We really didn't want to live with her again, especially after our third year of college but we got stuck with her anyway. She gave us a constant attitude problem that was pretty much like a three year old throwing a temper tantrum because she didn't get what she wanted. If we didn't do what she wanted, she'd throw a fit. Finally, we tried to think of a way to get out of the room so we didn't have to stay with her and it turns out, the girl didn't even have the guts to tell us that she had moved out. She's such a wimp. She can dish things out so much to a certain point and then after that, she can't do any more. It has definitely been a blessing since she's been gone. We aren't as tense and don't have to deal with her acting childish. I can't stand living with spoiled brats so it was a blessing she was finally gone. I think she was so mean because she couldn't stand the fact that people that she thought didn't deserve anything actually had more and better things than she did, when in reality she is bleeding her parents dry for money and her parents are abusing the government to buy their little princess thigns. It's sad and pathetic.

It really makes you feel bad when someone you thought was your friend betrayed you or treated you differently. Well, some people are like that. They find happiness in spreading bad things about someone. The reason could be jealousy, envy, or something else. Whenever I encounter that kind of person, I try to avoid them because I don't want them to know anything about me and give them something to talk about.

Hi friends Yes some people are really mean and awful.What your friend has done to you is really very bad and you just let her go away from your life.Even i met people ,who are mean and selfish. They are friends with me,only because that i help them in their work and so that they can take advantage.But i dont bother what they say about me,as i am considered about myself and my family.But even though i know they are mean,i do help them when they need,as i believe in humanity and life is too short to bother about these things. Bye!!!!!!

some people are like that because they can't live any other way. people like those you don't really keep as friends but more associates because no matter how people are they still have to associate with others. In terms of her though one day she is going to see the folly of her ways and hopefully none too soon.

OMG that's really bad. I see where you are coming from. Probably, yes, she's jealous of you. Or, she has an issue in her life that manifested with being mean to other people. Is there even a possibility that she likes the father of your child? Anyway, why don't you clear things off with the family of the guy? If they don't want to believe you then so be it, just go on. At least you cleared your name and didn't just keep quiet. About your "so called" friend, let her rot. Don't worry, there's always karma. Things will find a way of getting ack to tose wo do bad things. I think you should just ignore the issue since you know it is not true. Focus on your kid. That will make you happier. Hugs to you.

I dont know why people are like this,well in your case you got married but in my case i was in a relationship with a girl in my first year of college who was my class mate then and i had a friend who was really close with the girl..they both were good friends and still are..in our class there are only 14 members and out of that only 3 guys..this guy usually domintes the class which i dont like at all..and then one fine day he started to play his tricks on me and the girl with whom i had a relationship with..then my relationship parted away and still this -------fellow plays tricks on everyone's life in my class and i dont reveal anything to him nowadays..

Thats all drama girl. They all try to pretend to be a friend but u know and i know real friends are hard to find. You should be able find a good friend but sometimes the one that you thought was a true friend was not at all who they said they was. The experiences in life are hard. Theres nothing we can do just be as simple minded people that we are. These people are the one reason trust is never there.Real people are out there but theres alot of them that are fake and u just have to watch the ones u call friend. Dont be discouraged we all make mistakes on who we let into our lives just be more careful of who u trust thats all. Be happy on mylot

People can be all sorts !!!!... Its all in how you relate to them.

People are mean when they know how to make the difference between good and evil, or when they aren't educated properly in childhood. Sigmund Freud, the great genius of psychology states that "people are mean when their parents don't know how to put the good in front". So, the core of the big issue is the psychological approach of the vast majority of us. We explain the meaning of evil by pointing out that good is the best solution. Now, we all question, why there are criminals and infractors? Well, the answer to this great demand may be found in the greatest duality of all the history - evil vs good. Is your choice what side you chose...

Wow, that´s pretty bad , but u know something?, most of the people who are really mean is because they are miserable..sometimes they were brought up in the wrong enviroment or sometimes their parents were really messed up and raised them like that ...i can´t imagine myself growing up in the middle of jealousy and envy , we should thank our parents we are not that way.I´ve come accross this kind of people through out my life and i just don´t pay any attention to them, i know i´m happy , my family and my true friends know who i am and where i come from, so i can care less about them, just go on with your life and your kid , it should be all that matters right now..good luck

just let it be,step forward,disregard others's bad behaviors so long as you think that you are doing the right things.
