it always amazes me when you’re nice to someone and they treat you badly for no apparent reason. especially when it’s not an excessive fake kind of nice. from years of experience with people like that, i came to the conclusion that it’s best be to simply stay away from these unsocial animals as much as humanly possible. if you try to talk some sense out of them and they don’t respond, just give up, they’re not usually worth the effort. if everyone stayed away from such people, they would eventually become extremely lonely and realize they’re better off changing their attitude.

i also think if nobody ever says anything to them, they’ll just keep on doing it. somebody needs to step in and ask them, “why are you being such an asshole?” with a nice, calm intonation.

i always thought mean people must be very unhappy. because when you feel happy, you have no need to make other people miserable. but i think it’s also a matter of selfishness and lack of thought. lack of self-awareness too, many people are so scared of introspection that they are completely unable to see themselves. and how is anyone supposed to deal with someone unwilling to admit their faults and flaws… it’s not possible.

personally, i know i’m not perfect and i make mistakes like everyone else. but at least i’m aware of that and i’m willing to admit that sometimes my behavior is less than perfect. at least i try to improve myself and acknowledge other people’s feelings. i have no desire to harm other people (except for the mean ones because they need it), just because we’re all human and we all go through a similar experience and that’s how i feel i can relate to everyone else. we all know that sadness and anger are not fun things to go through so why would i wish that for anyone else?

of course sometimes you unintentionally hurt people’s feelings and there’s not much you can do about that… especially because people don’t communicate their feelings to each other so we are left to play a constant guessing game…

anyway, this is what happens in a world that glorifies people for what they do rather than who they are… i think the most important thing in life is to surround yourself with good, self-aware people. good luck.
