Is it just me,or are people in general becoming more shitty/nasty?I think I'm getting to a point in life where the thought of becoming a hermit is appealing.I'm done with work.I left a good job because of a bullyish arrogant boss.Been in this job for just over 3 yrs.We've got our fair share of arseholes there.People in managerial jobs that really should'nt be there due to their sheer lack of people skills.A couple of weeks ago at work,I was spoken down to like I was a small child.I'm old enough to be the guys mother,but that did'nt stop him.Co workers told me not to take it personally because "He talks to everyone like that"?Wtf?Really?And we're supposed to accept that?I complained to big boss who apparently spoke to him.Following week it happened again,spoke to big boss,who then again spoke to the perpetrator.Why do people get so stressed at work?If you can't handle the job then you should'nt be in it.People backstabbing,being bitchy!I would'nt accept this shitty behaviour at home so why should I accept it at work?I've had a little cry this arvo,as I'm back at work tomorrow and I don't know right now if I want to face anymore bullshit. People seem really stressed driving.Lost count how many people have cut me up on roundabouts,they just can't manage to wait like 2 secs for me to pass.People cut into me on dual carriageways at the last minute,then force me to hit the brakes because the road goes into one lane.People not giving way at a certain roundabout I use alot,apparently you don't give way to your right anymore? Internet....I belong to a few FB groups,usually good natured.....until someone makes a nasty comment,or winds someone up.Forum's?I wrongly assumed people joined them to belong to a "community",to share interests,etc.Over the years I've noticed the nastiness on some of these forums have got progressively worse.I've had to take a break at times because reading other posters nasty shitty comments is'nt relaxing,and can be upsetting too. So what is it with people in general?Stresses of life?I'm done with it.

lol It just seems alot of people have got worse over a relatively small space of time I think.I work 4 on 4 off.When we all return to work,I usually ask a few colleaques how their 4 days off went.They'll tell me.I'll comment nicely to make conversation.Do you reckon any of them ask ME how my 4 days went?No.Its all me me me these days.

The world has gone mad lol, maybe there's something in the air. Seriously I feel less connected to people these days, I guess I'm lucky as far as work goes, I work for a small company so things generally don't get nasty at work.
But I am so with you on the driving thing, maybe I didn't notice it as much when I was younger or maybe it has got worse but most people on the roads haven't a clue how to drive safely these days. I'm always getting cut up at a certain mini roundabout in our village as people tend to use the village as a rat run early in the morning and they have no intention of stopping or giving way to the right.
It's always worse in the mornings as silly people are in a hurry to get to work.

I blame the entitlement culture. People think it's their right to do what they like.

I think its become part of the present day culture thats common on the internet and in the media and spills into everyday attitudes and personal interactions.People seem to enjoy just being obnoxious to other people.Maybe its because it makes them feel better because their own lives are so shitty, i dont know. Ive been in quite a few groups on fakebook and it seems common place for someone to ask simple advice then within a short time theres arguements between the so called professionals,the old hands,the jobsworths,the knowledgeable amateurs,the plain dim and the ones who have no clue but make something up anyway...end result no one gets a proper answer and insults and threats flying everywhere...and people leave.Who needs that shit?
Ive dumped so many groups and forums recently because of this trend im beginning to wonder if theres much point to the social media side of the internet...anti-social media is all it is.
I think people have become more narcissistic and only their view or their life matters and everyone else is just a target for their derision and hate.
I loved my job and loathed almost all of my work colleagues for their arrogance,bigotry,backstabbing and unprofessionalism. I dont miss my work at all,only the money, but ive learned to be happy on next to nothing and more importantly i dont tolerate anyone who gets shitty with me, even if its close friends.I tell them what i think and just disappear back into my own peaceful environment. I wont do things for people if im not in the mood where once id drop everything to help but got no reciprocation.I learned to say NO. I dont watch tv or listen to radio.
When i drive I dont let people wind me up,people do stupid things on the roads you not going to change that, so change your attitude to them and dont allow their actions to disturb your inner calm.The other driver didnt do something to make you angry,your response to their actions made you angry.
I live pretty much a hermit life and try to apply my buddhist philosophy to as much of life as I can and far more relaxed and at peace than I was when fully engaged in 'the system' meeting thousands of people. Im not perfect,I have an explosive temper and I get incensed too and about all sorts of things and i brood about stuff.Then i sit calmlynand analyse whats made me angry and why and whether in the grand scheme of things it matters at all...mostly it doesnt.Life the universe amd everything doesn't give a shit about me or what made me angry, so why should I.
Its important to realise its not you at fault, its people in general and the hate and discord factor has been well and truly exploited by media and politicians.
You cant do a lot about the big picture,its all just bullshit, but you can change things in your life to reduce its influence on you. Do whatever you must to restore your life balance.Do whatever you can to change your response to situations and people who annoy you or wind you up. The worst thing is just to put up with it and accept it.

I think the problem is that people feel very afraid, stressed and anxious about everything. Work (or not) cost of living, income for everything from travel to rent and utilities which are generally more than the average person can afford. We are taught to fear foreigners and blame everyone from the bottom of society for the deliberate problems caused by the government.
Folk should not take it out on each other, but it is s very human thing to do, when you feel under attack from all sides. As a philosopher said, 'Most men live lives of quiet desperation. '
It is not easy, but while sticking up for yourself, realise that the person treating you like a naughty child probably could use compassion, rather than censure. Talk calmly to that person and point out that you are not a child to be ordered around, and being a manager does not give them a remit to act like they do. It's better than going to their boss to complain, though there is a place for that, too.
Hope you resolve the workplace aggro. xx

Sadly People Have Forgot The Meaning Of "Love & Peace" ...And Sadly It Is Easier For Them To "Hate And Be Mean And Unkind Etc" To People And Anything And Anybody Than To Smile And Say Hello Or Simply Ask How Somebody Is Or How Is There Day Etc Etc:( I Think That Most People Sadly Seem To Be Very Passive Aggressive And Non Feeling Of Other Peeps Feeling And Whats Going On Around Them:( Yes Its A Hard World ..Many Struggle Many Are Sadly Unhappy And Dont Like There Jobs Or Have Lots Of Money Problems Etc .So They Think It Is Ok And Normal And Accepted To Take All There Problems And Anger Etc Out On Everybody Else Sadly:( So Thats Why I Have My Own Little Happy Place My Home ..I Surround Myself With All The Things I Love And Enjoy Music..Art..Flowers..Laughter Etc Etc And Yes I Am Very Elusive And Evasive So Have Only Few Friends..But I Am Happy Yes Even Though Life Is Hard For Me And Money Is Hard Too ..I Never Be Mean Or Unkind To Anything Or Anybody Because Things Go Wrong For Me Too ..Etc..Because I Respect They Are MY Hardships Of Life And Not Take It Out On Others..I Simply Learned To Always Be Happy With Whatever Little I Have Or When Things Go Wrong Etc Which Sadly Peeps Have Forgotten To Do And Seem Unable To Do As I Said Its Easier For Them To Hate And Be Mean And Unkind...And Yet The Two Things In Life And Most Things In Life That Makes Us Happy Are FREE...Because Love And Peace Do Not Cost Anything Cos A "Simple Smile Can Make Them Feel Happy And Better As Well As Smiling At Another Is Good For Both People And Free And A Simple Hello..Is Something And Also Free ...All These Things Love. Peace .Happiness..Kindness..Smiles..Laughter. Hello..And Peace Are All FREE... BUT Sadly Peeps Are ONLY Interested In Things That Money Can Buy And Money Etc .. And So When They Dont Have It And Have What They Want Etc ..They Have Forgotten All The FREE Things That Will Make Them Happy Because Its Easier To Hate And Blame Than Love And Smile Sadly ..And So There Is No Love No Respect No Happiness Just Moaners Groaners And Unkind Mean People From The Young To The Elders They Simply Have Forgotten To Love And Be Happy And Just Simply Enjoy And See And Feel The True Beautiful Gifts In Life ..Being The Simple Free Gifts That Surround Us And Is Within Us Every New Born Day..Because Sadly They Are Lost In A Greedy Cold Selfish World Full Of Techno And Airwaves/Internet Showing Them And Teaching Them All To Hate Instead Of Love Sadly

Yes, I'm not a people person, arrogant self-centred tossers are everywhere! And as hard and bizarre as it seams , these are the ones that we need to offer more love to !! It sounds like a strange concept , but for them to learn to be nice and loving people they need to get to know what the feelings of nice and loving are. Share the love and heal the world :-)

Share the love and heal the world :-) Prolly, yes, but, it is not my job. I assume people are nice, and when I find out they arenβt I ignore them to the best of my ability. It is hard enough being nice to the ones I care about.

I know what you mean,some people are best left to be loved elsewhere by someone else.
