Of course, it's not good for people to be too sensitive, but it seems like nowadays college campuses and the like are full of really hateful people, or at least, there are enough of them to make a place unpleasant. Note, I was bringing this up on another forum because the title was about unsociable people (autism forum). Anyway, the worst people, ironically, seem to be computer and engineering majors.
Anyway, I like to joke around and not take things so seriously, but entering a lot of these schools is like entering a war zone. I mean the most douc**ey people imaginable. Also, I would say the same about the small-town area I live at - in general. Does it have to do with conservative beliefs? Note, in some cases, it could be uneasiness due to my age of 40 - but it was sort of like that when I was also 20.
Yeah, but it can be funny, though. I remember I was coming out of the bathroom in the college computer department, and this one guy was glaring at me like I had killed his parents.
Well what you can do is to not add to anyone's troubles as you don't know the story behind the way they behave as not every mean person is evil as there are many people out there who are hurting who tend to hurt others because of the hurt they are going through. You may not be able to prevent every bad attitude you come across but you can keep yourself from having one and giving others one through your conduct and character. One's attitude isn't due to the circumstances you find yourself in but how you choose to respond to those circumstances.
Like @Bluezone777 mentioned before me, there are some people that are just having a bad day or they're going through a difficult time in their life. Usually, you can help that person with whatever is going on or, at the very least, not bother them while they're going through whatever it is they're going through.
On the other hand, there are some people that are just straight up douche bags. They are a miserable person, so they want to make everyone else around them miserable as well. You are going to run into this no matter where you go in life.
wherever you go, you will always meet unfriendly people
in fact, i actually believe most people you will meet in life are unfriendly/selfish
and you gotta count yourself lucky if you ever meet people that are honest, kind and selfless with you
it is a very rare thing to find
I fully agree with you. When I was new in our office, I felt like alienated with the oldtimers because they seemed to be aloof and I had mistaken if for being unfriendly. But come to think of it, I was the newcomer and maybe that's how they perceive of my persona - unfriendly - so they were just acting the same. I guess if you become a little open and friendly then that unfriendly feeling will vanish.
It's expected the military and other places will have some mean ones, but as I was saying, the encounters are darkly comical. Of course, not when they're happening, though.
