Answer 1

Hateful people hate themselves! They don't know how to interact with other people!

Answer 2

Firstly Bullies are insecure people who cannot think for themselves and find their strenght in large groups - what is known as the herd mentality. Animals are much the same. You can get dogs which are tame but in a pack they change their whole personality to that of the pack (or pack leader).

As for being hateful, it is more of the macho instinct for men. They think that if they're kind to others, it is seen as a weakness and they tend to do the opposite (again, the herd mentality). Get them on their own and thay are totally different.

I have a theory and that is around 95% of the population are not worth having as a friend anyway, because of their spiteful attitude. My reason for this assumption is that whenever I'm out driving, I judge other people by the way they drive. On average, I have come across one respectful driver in every twenty (ie, they show consideration and let you go first or if you make an error of judgement they don't beep their horns in anger).

My advice to you is to focus on the other 5% ofd the population - they're worth knowing and also, you are not alone (some people can be very nasty indeed).

Answer 3

It's the group mentality; they feel threatened by anyone who isn't part of their group. It's not something new; I had it at school at lot too and it made my life a misery.
I did survive though and it left me with a deep respect for people who are brave enough not to fit in. I also believe in looking beyond the surface.
It did leave me the ability to do act on my beliefs (and I'm not talking religion here; I'm an atheist) and to try to do what I think is right even if I don't want to.
All you can do is remember that you aren't alone; there are many people like you and you will meet up with them.
Take care of yourself.

Answer 4

Hateful people and bigots are small minded fools with little to no social education. They try and prove to themselves that they are superior over other people by picking on, belittling, tormenting others. They do this to boost their little egos.

In reality, all they are doing is showing off their ignorance.

Not many of them realize that they are committing a federal hate crime in doing so, and in many states, they can be prosecuted. But the problem with that is getting the law enforcement who already are filled with bigots to move, and if they do get arrested, to get convicted.

Sooner or later, they do get theirs. Keep that in the back of their minds and remember, that you are better than they are.

Answer 5

Fergie,

We are so close to the end of the world! Sin (rebellion to God) is multiplying fast. You are witnessing all of what the Bible speaks of as the Great Tribulation which precedes the returns of Jesus Christ. "Evil men shall wax worse and worse"
If you are at all concerned, start reading the Bible and pray to the Lord for mercy. You do not need me to tell you that homosexual relations is sin just as any sexual relations are before marriage. Noah's flood occurred in 4990 B.C. In a few more years, we'll come up on the 7000th anniversary of the fateful day. I believe that this will be the year 2011 that the Lord Jesus Christ will return and the end will come.

Answer 6

You have your own identity they don't and are probably @rse licking to keep their mates by taking it out on you - how sad they are. No-one has a right to judge you by the way you look, I was a goth when I was a teenager, I was told I would look back and feel embarrassed by what I was, i'm now 38 and never regreted a thing, just smile and walk on.

Fergi 1:

Life is not a nice place. You were lied to if that is what you were told. I know that a lot of people are gonna say different . . and you can put this on a shelf and revisit it at a later time . . . but just stay alive, be nice to people, and watch real close . . . you will find, that this is not a nice place.

This is a fallen world, that needs God
God provided Jesus, Jesus willingly gave himself

God Bless you in your search

Answer 9

Oh dear I've just given up the will to live. Take no notice of what people say, just be happy in your own skin and get on with your life.

Answer 10

I am sorry you have to put up with that sort of behaviour. If possible move to another area. You will find bad behaviour is mostly an inner city problem.

Answer 11

Most likely because people are judgmental by nature. "Dissing" someone might make them feel better about themselves. "The golden rule, treat others as you would like to have others treat you" is at the basis of most all religious belief systems, but is by far the hardest rule to keep. God DID give us free choice, its up to each one of us to decide. (The ole 'Good VS Evil')
