I agree about not liking overly mean people and overly nice people. No one can be nice all the time, to me it just seems fake. But I don't like people that are just douchebags for the hell of it either.
I don't think I am ever mean without some sort of provocation. Every once in a while, I will get fed up with something or stressed and snap, but I don't go out of my way to make attacks on people. Generally, I am pretty agreeable, but I have gotten into some nasty arguments and insulted people online that were assholes in the first place. Does it make it right? Probably not. Will I keep doing it? You betcha.
Yeah I am only ever mean to mean people. Thats pretty awesome come to think of it I am really nice almost always. Its because mean people are not happy so they want to make others feel the way they do.
i have a tendency to poke and prod at phoney nice people until they show their true colors. long standing habit of mine and one i'm not likely to give up.
Mean people CAN be funny. And are alot of the time. The funniest people I know are fuckin assholes come to think of it. I would rather not be around them very often.
of course it can be funny, if it's nothing harmful. but physically harming people or animals or trying to cause emotional pain is just not good. i guess i should've worded the title of this thread differently. "i don't like meanness", perhaps? because lots of people read way too much into it. if i had seriously meant that i despised any people, i would've posted in a more serious forum than random thoughts. so, i never meant to say that i actually disliked anyone, but i did say it, without really considering what i was saying. for the record, i would say that i am kind to people 98% of the time, even if they get nasty with me. i work in the service industry at a demeaning, entry level job so i've gotten very good at taking people's abuse with a smile on my face. it has to be a VERY bad day for me to snap back, which is why the provocation i've received here won't result in anything except hugs. sorry that i said i didn't like anyone. y'all are right- that was wrong to say. and as far as "fake nice" goes, it's better than hurting the feelings of someone who has done nothing wrong. i don't mean deceiving someone, don't get me wrong. but if a sweet person comes around who happens to annoy you, it's better to grit your teeth and be kind to him or her than it would be to tell them to get away from you or something like that. i'm sure you see what i mean. thanks and much love to everyone who posted!
I'm a little faux mean to people I like. I don't particularly like mean people who are mean to everybody.
mean people are great. theyre mean for a reason and its always an interesting experience finding out why that is. its also good fun to find out what their soft spot/weakness is. its fun to crack mean people
