Why are peopel sooo mean ?

I read the answers to your last question. Nobody knows what a person is thinking when they answer a certain way but my advise is don't let your feelings get hurt here. You have to take it with a grain of salt.

Don't take any notice of them. They are just jealous about us being friends.

some people are just plain rude and love to make others feel bad about themselves... some how they get a laugh out of it. Sad yes.. but true. Ignore those who treat you meanly... there are tons of other people in this world who are nice and kind...
:)

because we are afraid ..
we think bad of ourselves and so we project it out on others to defend ourselves against ourselves.. and when we are anonymous on web we reaaallly let people have it .. just feel pity with us and understand that we mean nothing by it, all we really want is acceptance .. please excuse my bad english ..

It could be something they ate!

I dunno... I have never hurt anyone but have had peole hurt me so I can answer it other than they suck.

Well,thats the way some of them are.Just learn to ignore them......they are not even worth talking about.

haha. good luck figuring that out. people have no respect for others. just don't let it get to you and you should be ok.

you know what they say when you've gotta be cruel to be kind?

it keeps us sane that way

Well, I will take it in mind:)

I don't know. I do know that it is a choice, that some people are not mature enough to realize it is actually their choice to make. We have all had bad things happen to us in our life and if we are not careful we can project those bad things onto innocent people (ie, my boyfriend cheated on me so how do I know you wont cheat too?) What those mean people don't realize is that they are a walking self fulfilling prophecy of everything they don't want to happen. They want to be accepted but are so afraid to be nice and let people in, that they aren't accepted, they come across as hostile and standoffish or judgemental. Being in a relationship (friendship or romantic) takes a lot of faith that this one person wont let you down and if they do, so what, it is not the end of the world, we have all survived heartbreak before. We cannot control how other people respond to us, we can only control our own actions and reactions. And we only have to answer to God. So, as long as we know we are being kind and true and doing what is right, we can feel free to be just that, kind and true and do what is right. Everything in life is a choice, unless you don't make the choice for yourself, in which case, usually a mean spirited person or spirit will make it for you and it's usually in their best interest, not ours. Make your own happy, kind, good choices.

In an online scenario like EP and chat rooms, the anonymity of it all makes it really easy for the real jerks of society to show their true colors. It's so easy to tell user "xyz" that he's a pansy *** jackass, as opposed to standing in front of him in a bar and seeing that user "xyz" is a 6' 5" 250 bouncer-type guy, which might make you think twice.

It's also far easier to string people along...some people do it because they have nothing better to do...or perhaps because they were once hurt by someone and now all they do is spend their days, "getting even" with someone who never did them harm...all because they are angry and can't come to grips with their social issues.

If the internet were not so anonymous, you would find that the "rudeness and mean" factors would drop dramatically.
