Why Cant Every One Just Be Nice?

[tandh]

I don't get it, why do some people have to act such jerks? even when it's not effecting them in the slightest. I feel so happy when I come on here to ask a question as I know I'm going to have a positive encounter with someone who cares and wants to help. but when you steep out into the real world it's just not like this :-( its so sad

o blimey there are jerks everywhere


didnt someone say - the jerks will always be there ...

or something

[Zacs-Master]

Because deep down were aggressive cave men and women. Aaaaaaargh.

[Mamyalynne]

There are lovely people everywhere , even in the real world.

Sorry you aren't finding them , try joining societies with an interest you may share with others.

[ummmm]

I'm a bit of a hermit but I can honestly say that the people I encounter day to day, both young and old, male or female, are really nice.

Ironically, I think it is because we are social creatures and human society revolves around establishing status versus whoever we interact with -even total strangers. Some are so determined to always come out on top, in every interaction, that they behave like a complete jerk.

We are all at different ages and stages of development. As fast as one lot grow out of it, a new generation develop the same jerk-like behaviours. At least I hope it's just a phase.

"Why do some people have to act such jerks" Act? I think it comes naturally to some people, they certainly arn`t acting

[atalanta]

Too many people have a chip on their shoulders, resulting from an inferiority complex which demands that they should try to score points at every opportunity. A childish trait which is to be deplored and pitied, as these people will never mature into adult human beings.

Just continue to be selective with the people you interact with, personally or 'cyberly'.
People waste far too much time trying to fit into what's expected due to the mainstream ethos.

Personally, i'm a social butterfly as and when I want to be, otherside i'm happy to relax in my home, where I feel comfortable.

Don't be sad, just understand we all have different needs and be comfortable and confident with yours.

The thing is, we remember the b....... , and forget the lovely people we meet.

I've come across far more mean/not nice/point scoring/put you in your place people on this site than I come across in the real world (except perhaps at secondary school).

I take it the OP doesn't venture into the news section. There's quite a few nasty pieces of work who post on there.

[viv41]

I think we have our fair share of 'jerks' on here too !

Agreed, but one knows where one stands with them and they are not .....dangerous.

There are more nasty pieces of work covertly, masquerading as pleasant and popular ABers than in in News...............

It would be crazy if everyone walked around with huge grins and constantly patted each others backs and complimented them.

Without the jerks it would be hard to gauge the happy smiley people.

Black and white. Rich and poor. Big and small. fat and thin.

Yin and yang.

[SSSid]

Going over to the News section. Tin hat is on! Wish me luck.

[Mamyalynne]

Not a very hot time to go now, weekdays are best.
