The inside story of a RUDE person!

     I don't understand why people feel the need to be so incredibly rude. 

Or perhaps I do understand; mostly because I used to be this rude person at one point in time. Loads have changed since CWG fell into my lap. And I am a rejuvenated person now. And perhaps that's why I can tell you the inside story of a rude person. 

Why can't people just be polite and respectful? I cannot even fathom how rude some can be-whether it is in class with the eternally hard-working teacher or the perpetual remarks on someone's appearance..Rudeness is something which I have lived and which I am living through the world today!

      The internet is like the cruelest place online. People always think that they have ownership on what you should do or say! But somewhere down the line it molds us into saying "NO! THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT! I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ME!" People's comments are meant to bother you if you are looking for views. But if you have your well-rooted values- they can't take your self-integrity and confidence from you!

Being rude could stem from anger issues, the way a person is brought up and various other reasons e.g. a bad day. A rude person is an unhappy person and all you can do is ignore them. If they are rude to you ,you can bet they are rude to others as well.

Basically they are attention seeking cowards. *Yes, I was a coward- I was trying to run away from things internally.*

I think a rude person is sometimes arrogant, self absorbed, and covering up insecurities. They often interrupt, talk mostly about themselves. demand special treatment, and make hurtful remarks that do hurt other people's feelings. *I used to have massive insecurities, I back that! (Y)*

I know what you mean. It's weird right? I believe it is because people feel free to become almost an entirely different entity on the internet. You don't really know them and they believe that there is no real consequence to their offensive behaviour. Hang in there Wendy. There's a couple of us here keeping it real!! I do feel though that some are are more rude on the internet (Yahoo Answers! , MySpace, etc) because  don't ever have the balls to say anything in person. You shouldn't be hurt, you should feel sorry for them & whatever is making them mean & angry. *Yes, some people just happen to be blatantly more outspoken over here. I have known that several times. But thankfully, there are other people's warm words that encourage you! ;)*

you can't please everyone, and some people are just jerks. You shouldn't be hurt by it, you will run into people like that in life nearly everyday in real life. *And I respect that. In the absence of that which you are not, that which you are is not! :D*

Everyone brings baggage with them from their childhood.

Like good Old Rushaa says! ;)

The hard part is recognizing that is exists and then be willing to do the work to correct it. The next hard part is doing the work and many people do not want to put forth the effort. Sometimes being overly nice to rude people makes them stop and think, even if only for a few minutes. *Yes, that's something which comes naturally with children. Let them dance on your head so much that by the time they get tired they'll automatically feel guilty!*

Convince yourself that rude people are only making themselves feel good at the expense of others, and I believe they think it gives them some kind of one up-man-ship in their small lives. Fact is, they are only proving their ignorance, as most of us already know who the rude people are. The real problem is when you have a friend that is rude. They need to become ex-friends and sometimes that's a challenge. Hang in there and take life for what it is: Wonderful if you simply ignore the rude:) *I think-from personal self-experience, rude people are actually asking for help.*

My standpoint is: "Be nice to nice people - and assume everyone's nice until they show you they're not!"

Most rude and nasty people are working from a point of weakness - they're either covering up their insecurity, or they're trying to climb over someone else to reach a point where they think they'll be stronger.

If someone's mean to you, just tell yourself: "I'm strong enough not to need to be like that, so I'm better than they are!" *Hi5 to this*

But I swear to God, for those people who are all :

**Give me a break and go understand the difference between honesty and rudeness- oh and add frankness to the list! (Because being honest and being frank are two poles apart!- http://pawaehr.blogspot.com/2014/06/because-being-honest-and-being-frank.html ) **

Rudeness

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudeness (also called impudence or effrontery) is a display of disrespect by not complying with the social norms oretiquette of a group or culture. These laws have been established as the essential boundaries of normally accepted behaviour. To be unable or unwilling to align one's behavior with these laws known to the general population of what is socially acceptable is to be rude.
Rudeness "constituted by deviation from whatever counts as politic in a given social context, is inherently confrontational and disruptive to social equilibrium" (Kasper, 1990, p. 208). Rudeness, particularly with respect to speech, is necessarily confrontational at its core.
Forms of rudeness: inconsiderate, insensitive, deliberately offensive, impolite, a faux pas, obscenity, profanity, violating taboos such as deviancy. In some cases, an act of rudeness can go so far as to be a crime.
