why are people so dam negative I try to have a little fun and get mostely critisim, whats up with that?

Question

if you dont have anything nice to say you shouldn't say anything, didn't your mother teach you any manners, I guess not

Answer 1

Yea...not everyone was fortunate enough to grow up with Bambi and learn what Thumper's mama had to say.

Answer 2

I can only think of these few possible reasons:

1. Because they are too "serious" or rather dull / boring, and do not know how to have fun like you. To them, life sucks. To you, life rules!

2. Because they do not have anything else to talk about. And got nothing else better to do. So they start to b.i.t.c.h / gossip / criticize, thinking they are the greatest / smartest etc. But they are the most sorry-est bunch.

3. Because they like to make themselves feel better by bringing people down. They dislike you being happy / having fun / looking good etc. So they try to make you as sad as them or much worse than them. Then they'll feel better. Do feel sorry for them.

4. Because they are pessimists. Everything is gloomy / negative to them.

I totally agree with you that if people have nothing nice to say, better not say it. But no one is perfect. We may say hurtful things sometimes, especially when we're straight-forward with no ill intentions.

Everyone makes mistakes. Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. It's normal to feel angry / upset / frustrated / annoyed at such people. They are the people who do not know what / who is nice to them & as they themselves are not really nice or trying / pretending / struggling to be nice.

No matter what, be nice, if we can.
It's worth it especially to those around us & loved ones.
And if they still criticize, there's nothing much we can do.
It's their filthy mouths that need washing, not ours.

Answer 3

Our entire world is becoming narcissistic.
"Yahoo! Answers" was created to be an on-line community that helps each other.
However something about knowing that they can be a jerk to you without consequence makes them feel powerful.
My advice, if you want positivity, don't mess around with this group of self sufficient, uniform, simple minds.
Go somewhere with character.

Heaven forbid we enjoy our lives,

Answer 4

Your getting critizied for sarcastic answers??????? You mean people on here care what someone joking around has to say???? I guess people come on here expecting that everyone here is going to help them solve their problems. And they take it serious when someone messes around. I hope people learn to never take anything too seriously online. It's not like we all know each other.

Answer 5

IT DEPENDS ON IF THE FUN THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO HAVE, IF IT'S OFFENSIVE OR IF THE FUN IS AT THE COST OF SOMEONE ELSES FEELINGS THEN THATS NOT GOOD. THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR JOKES, AND GOOFY STUFF--IF YOUR TIMING IS OFF THEN THAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THIS, OTHERWISE YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH KILLJOYS!

Answer 6

Because the mostly get talked about alot and they think its really true so they start to have a negative attitude

Answer 7

You know what Shine?
You just have to mind your own problem if your problem is your mind, i guess it's all up to you
if you see it half-full or half-empty, constructive or destructive criticism, i think you are the one making it negative...
if you don't want to see how they react and keep and close mind, I guess you just have to ignore them and their reactions, and go on with what you want to do, as long as you don't bring harm to or hurt them, you have nothing to fear of in what you are doing.
As long as you're happy, go on...with what you wanna do.

Answer 8

Some people take life a little more serious than others.

Answer 9

I like the way the top of your head isn't burdened with hair. It looks clean. Does it squeak when you rub it?
There see? Complements are not so hard when you work at it!

Answer 10
