We have all experienced individuals that are rude, inconsiderate, and downright selfish. People deal with these behaviors in different was. Some of us tend to ignore this behavior in others when it does not affect us. Others are offended by the behavior and may oppose it regardless to whom it is directed towards. Still others of us tend to internalize this behavior and let it create stress in our lives. How normal do you think these behaviors are? How do you deal with people that behave this way? How do you think these behaviors affect our fundamental needs to interact with others of our species?

You have to distinguish the origin of such behavior.
Some ARE just self centered and for them you don't matter.
Others can be socially inept and just not have the nack for it due to not having much interaction to begin with - and their behavior re-enforces their isolation because people don't stick around for long.
Others still can't understand WHY one needs to have social graces. To them, personal interaction is not a point on their list at all. They are of the frame of mind to get things done. Point A to point B and the shortest path is the easiest. It is nothing against you, An Aspie for instance is in this category.

social bond is really important.. making friends and dealilng with difficult situations is a part of your life.. one can say social bond is not important.. but with that kind of a mind it is difficult to survive isnt it.. we have make frinds always and then only we can understand the true meaning of our life..

We care about how we affect each other socially. If someone is rude to us, we take offense. If someone is behaving in a manner we don't approve of, we try to chsnge them. It is just human nature for us to behave this way. The ways that we interact affect the ways that we live.

Certainly we have all experienced such behavior both on online sites and with direct acquaintances.
I think it is unfortunate to say the least that certain people behave the way they do without a moments thought about what they type and or regard to the person they are directing the comments to. It is however a mix of all sorts of personalities, therefore we must accept that people are who they are and either we shrug it off and continue to believe these people have no scruples and just avoid them as a whole.
I have certainly experienced a few negative replies after pouring my heart out but not for very long as I realize that you just can't please everyone and well I do not have to live with them. I do my best to only answer discussions that I feel I can assist with beneficial responses. I do a lot of reading here on myLot and have a feel for those who sneaky and intentionally rude, those members I just try to avoid as I have my own direct personal issues that weigh far more than it's worth adding from here.
So in answer to your discussion I just avoid and if it does happen to me I may feel a bit hurt but move on in life as I can't change the world.

I was once have friendship with someone that started out nice in the beginning but then turn sour in the end. You meet this person and something is telling you not to get close to them yet you ignore the warnings and go ahead with the friendship. When that person reveals their true colors along the way. It will be hard to accept.
But then I tried to be civil and still interact with that person but no longer closer because in the long run they will only create havoc in my not so orderly life. It depend on us how will we deal with the situation but I refuse to be drag down by others.
