No Excuse For Bad Behaviour

You will need to move forward. If you are waiting for an apology then you will keep waiting. Some people may act mean towards others under the assumption that they are simply better than the people around them. Other people are beneath them, and only people who are on their level are deserving of their respect.

This is a deeply unacceptable excuse that mean people tend to make for themselves in order to justify their behavior to themselves.

Some mean and toxic people have been treated poorly throughout their lives. Sometimes they have been abused or bullied throughout their childhood.

In turn, they become hardened to the outside world. This is an excuse that mean people can use to justify how they treat other people. They may become the abusers or the bully in order to make themselves feel better. Because of the way they were treated, they convince themselves that other people should feel the same way.

Some mean people justify their behavior as it just being a part of their personality. I mean, I do say hi and stuff if I run into them. But my life is better off without having people around that drag me down and have the audacity of calling me their friend.

1. It’s just honesty

Frankly I think the biggest problem with so many rude and abrasive people is the fact that most people either tolerate it or even worse accept it as OK as well as excusing it when they lash out at others. I treat all of my clients with respect, period. I work with people who are irate all of the time and they do so without directing their hostility towards or at me.

It most certainly is understandable that people freak out when something bad happens to a server or a pc and their business is down and out. I consult for a reason, mainly that I can and will not allow people to believe that they can treat others like garbage and have it be OK. Worked too many jobs where I had to take it or get fired etc.

Sorry just rambling, but your article hit the nail on the head for me. I have always been taught that when working or talking etc with another person regardless of age, sex , religion , race, straight , gay, fill in the blank, to be decent. Do I fall short? F yeah, sometimes frequently, and , like a grown adult, I apologize to whoever I was terse with and accept that my actions were wrong.

When others lash out, saying nothing or not addressing it is part of the problem. Bullying and abrasive behavior works to the advantage of the spewer at the expense of the spewed on. I hope for the best but sometimes I feel over here things are only going to get better once people stop being so unkind. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me. To be objective I should have an authentic data from official sites especially about family contexts but I do not know where I can get it. Would you please guide me to any organizations , websites, persons who can help me in this matter.

Great article, great insight. Sometimes people are rude to people who were rude to them first, and it becomes a reaction. Other wise I agree with you. What I hate is when people are being paid to do a job, and they are rude to the customer. Yesterday, I ordered a drink on a patio.

When the waitress brought the drink I said nicely , I should have asked you for a tall glass. Before I could stop her, she spun, muttered something about having to do it again. She filled the glass with ice, poured the contents of my ten dollar drink into a tall glass, and then brought it back in a rude manner. There was absolutely no excuse for this. I was very nice to her. I'm a corporate trainer, incurable optimist, and writer who is committed to changing the world by helping as many people as possible to live and work more positively.

We walk through our days, sometimes with a sense of purpose but most of the time on auto-pilot. As babies, we operate by instinct, but as we age, I sure hope we all come to a sort of reckoning in time when we start to live deliberately, and with meaning. Why, then, not be deliberate in whom we engage with?
