Why are people like this?

Post Reply New Topic

I find a lot of people seem to love upsetting other people for no reason at all.

If you react to somebody doing something annoying, they will do it even more. Then if you really react and show that you are feeling this annoyed, they turn into crybabies and ask why you reacted and don't like it. Are people idiots or something?

I am generalising here, I don't mean everybody's like it.

Today it was raining, and me and my friend were walking right away from the road to avoid getting splashed by the cars. But when car-drivers saw us doing that, most of them started delibrately speeding up just to try and soak us, simply because they saw us trying not to get splashed.
But I wonder if we had retaliated like stuck our fingers up at whoever splashed us, they would probably act like they're the innocent ones and would probably stop the car and yell at us why we stuck our fingers up. Yes, that has been known to happen.

It's like people are always playing games with each other's minds all the time. Why can't people just grow up and get along? And then people with ASDs are the ones who are immature and lack empathy....?

Enjoy!

Uh....is that meant to be a sarcastic response implying that I'm trolling, or are you just replying with an interesting article referring to what I wrote?

If I could change the world it would be a world of reason where everyone follows the rules and I think following the rules would be enough to get along. No empathy needed.

There are rules about considerate behavior almost everywhere, but many people seem to ignore them for whatever reason. No idea why, but as a passionate cyclist I've made many experiences like the one you describe, some of them even dangerous like being hit on the shoulder by the outside mirror of a truck.

The only thing that worked for me so far is to grab out my cell phone and take a picture. If they sense that pedestrians and cyclists can do that and collect evidence against their rude behavior, hopefully one or the other will rethink his behavior.
