Why can't people be nice?

I think its because people have their own opinion on things and they want their to be the one taken, and others just want them to shutup, and sometimes the person that wants them to shutup will let the opinionated person know!

Because many people are a “me,me, me” type. This makes for an interesting living. You can’t drive without people being bothered by your slow driving, waiting for pedestrians, making them wait behind you while the red light is on and they have to turn at the next street. No one is curteous anymore. It’s all about each for his own self. Very selfish. I teach my kids to share and I try to be kind. Maybe enough of this will change other people. ;)

I guess its just human nature to dislike other people, it really can’t be helped. I guess without hate we couldn’t have love?

Fires a few Pink Fluffy Bunnies

You’re asking why people can’t be nice… yet you have a “kill Hannah” avatar? Doesn’t that seem a little contradictory?

Anyway- often you find people can’t be nice because they can’t tolerate others. If someone is a little bit different, they are often persecuted, or labeled as a “freak”. In order to get along, I think the world needs to celebrate diversity and accept people for who they are.

Thanatos, the death instinct. Freud coined this term, referring to man’s need for conflict and lust for destruction. It is in our nature to be uncomfortable with long term tranquility and peace.

Just think…if you feel sad because someone was mean to you, then you must have felt very loved at one time in your life.

I’d shed a thousand tears, just to laugh with a friend for a few seconds.

Usually insecurity, fear or pain causes individuals to “lash out,” or be “nasty,” for no good reason. Sometimes there is a good reason. I am a nurse who works in Hospice. I am confronted with mean people every time I work a shift. I’ve been told (by total strangers) I’m fat and ugly, stupid, yelled at to get out of a room, you name it. After a while it takes a toll and you need to decompress (get it out)- talk to a good friend, clergy, therapist, or just post to a blog.

But, most importantly, don’t stop being nice to people. It will eventually catch on and believe me I can’t wait!

what you have never been mean to somebody? We will never have peace cause there is always somebody who wants war, monye power and other stuff.

some people may have bad days and the affect it has on nice people it turns them mean too that is what I think!

Some weren’t taught

Being mean and hate usually have to do with pride. Jealousy, greed, anger…Can usually be traced back to pride. Some are just too proud.
