What makes people want to jump all over other people?

Because......they're IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But seriously, though, they really do need an attitude check, I know I have been jumped all over because I wasn't good enough, or I wasn't religous enough, or I wasn't conforming into the type of person they want me to be, or I can't stand on my finger upside down at a drop of a dime! :-p Some people have nothing to do but point their fingers at others, and I've borne the brunt of it too many times. I sometimes think...could it be that they don't want to face their own pain of the past? Or could it be the fact that they're not struggling in an area and they thing everyone else should not struggle but overcome the situation in life? Why do we even waste our time with these people? Maybe it's because we feel sorry for them and want to help them change? But in doing so, we only get bitten in our face in the process. Just think about putting out a hand to a straggley dog and they jump up and bite us. Not good. Maybe I'm being harsh, but I've been hurt so much by these kinds of people that I simply gave up. I have my own life, and I need to heal. And I need to laugh, as well.

Rachelle- I have to agree with Robert that it is because that person is insecure about their own life. Many of us have spoken about this a great deal this week and I think it truly is sad that we cannot simply practice common human decency with one another. I don't see any reason any of us have to become nasty with someone simply because we disagree with them or do not like what they said. I do often wonder though why people will come on and ask for advise, ask for thoughts, and then become irate the moment someone is not giving them the response they want to hear. Another friend of mine suggested that in all fairness perhaps the person merely wanted to vent and didn't properly convey those thoughts at the start. Then when others reply with advice the person becomes upset because they didn't really want advice. It's hard to judge with online text so I think all we can do is preface our responses to convey we are not trying to tell them what to do but rather sharing what we would do in that situation. If someone continues in such rude behavior I personally would just ignore the words and move on. There is no point in letting it get to me or taking away from my joy. Namaste-Anora
