why are people so nasty?

Question

I asked a question on yahoo answers earlier today about what I should wear for nights out clubbing when I go to University in September.I needed advice because I'm a size 14 and didn't know what kind of clothes to wear to suit my shape.Most of the answer were great and really helpful but one lady said "you're a fat hippo! Dont go clubbing if youre that big! no one will like you "
I just thought,how unnecessary! Why do people say nasty things to people when they don't know the person and that person has never done anything to them?

Answer 1

I get it all the time
they are just jealous, we have brains, they don't

Answer 2

I've often wondered the same thing. I asked a question earlier too, and some of the answers were so rude! I mean, why bother??

The only thing I can make of it is that some people are so miserable, the only way they can feel better about ANYthing is by trying to insult someone else. That's got to make for a pretty crappy existence though.

As far as your question, by your avatar, you're a pretty attractive young woman. And, size 14 is a pretty average size. I would just wear what makes you feel comfortable. Dress for yourself and don't allow yourself to be dictated to by the fashion world.

Answer 3

The thing you referred to as a lady is not a lady as ladies would not say a thing like that.
People are nasty to cover thier own insecurities. She might be butt ugly but i am sure you would not tell her that. I might because i am a *****. But i am also quite curvy. I get comments like that all the time but i also get admiration too.
All in all do not let others jealousy get you down and try the simplybe catalogue for clothes and things. There's also an American store called torrid that does some ok clothes, and not that many people in the UK use the site. Just wear something you feel comfortable in. Next time that d**k answers your question tell her to do 1!!!!!

Answer 4

I think these people have insecurities about themselves, and therefore offload onto other people because they are so self absorbed. Don't let it get to you: I'm a thin guy and I've been with more girls bigger than size 14 than smaller, and that is totally honest. That's the first time I've ever told anyone that too, not that I'm embarrassed - they're hot!
Everyone is beautiful, but I guess that woman has an ugly side. Nevermind, it's her loss. Maybe she doesn't realise that people are nice to each other around here =oD

Answer 5

Because it makes them feel better about their own sad existence to put other people down. A size 14 is the national average size. If you feel good about yourself, trust me people will like you. If you don't, then work on what is your area in need of change in your mind. Do that only if you feel you need improvement (we all do in some way) The thing is, the person you have to look in the mirror everyday is YOU. Full stop. Be happy with that person, or in the process of improving that person, but don't wait for those changes to be complete to live life. It's way, way too short for that.

Answer 6

I don't know exactly what is going on in this person's mind but one thing i do know is that it has nothing to do with you. I think some people are just like that. Or maybe they had not had much luck themselves so they carry the dissatisfaction with them everywhere they go. Just try and forget it and don't take it so serviously. Or maybe just that person was in a bad mood. Think of happier things and as long as you are content with yourself and the people you care about values you then this is sufficient.

Answer 7

People are nasty over the internet, because there not saying it directly to the person face.

Like 2 months ago my boyfriend dumped me over msn, because he didn't have the guts to tell me to my face.

And just ignore what that lady said to you. Infact i could bet any money that shes over a size 14, and shes making out like shes some slim person.

Answer 8

people like that are like houseflies. Blat them if they get near your food, but don't expect ever to be rid of them.

i'm sure i've answered this question before in exactly the same words. The infantile nonsense you describe goes on here all the time. S'life

aaaaanyway, it's not what you've got, it's how you wear it. Keep good posture, walk like you're carrying water on your head; you will be sexy. Personally I'm a bit fed up with media-shaped girls, if you know what I mean. but that isn't what you asked. Um... er... i'll get my coat

Answer 9

I would say that people are sometimes disatisfied with themselves, I'm not being psychoanalitical here, but they jump at the first chance they get to express their own anger or unhappines at them! You've got two choices: a) answer back or b) ignore. I have learnt to follow the b) option and you feel so MUCH BETTER! By the way, wearing black never fails! ;-)

Answer 10

Some people are like that, just mean and nasty. I always try to answer nicely when I see a valuable and genuine question. I also can give stupid answers to totally stupid questions.
I get bad when I read something nasty about my country, countrymen or people who are total rubbish.
your question was a GOOD question but not knowing what you look like or your tastes, it is excessively difficult for me to help you. I just can suggest for you to wear something that YOU feel comfortable with.
Good luck sweet girlie.

Answer 11

Ignore all the bad comments, that are only raising a sarcastic smile for those dishing it out; though the smile disappears when they're on the receiving..

Life's a mixed bag; thats why the diamonds glitter from the grotty gravel..
