do u think

that in this world there r so so many of cruel, bad people. i find so, everywhere, so far i ‘ve not seen any good kind soul. all i met is all bad ones, even in front of u they are really nice, they show they r nice, caring good ppl, but actually they r not. behind u they love to talk bad of u, gossip and so on. very sad, sometimes all these ppl irritate u and hurt u deeply. i tried not to get affected byt his kind of ppl but still it reach adn hurt me. sometimes, they love just to make up story of u, or they just love it if u do mistakes esp at working place, they love if u r forgetful, wrong or they just love to find yr mistakes and tell the whole world abt it. even if u did it once, they keep on repeating it all their life. i am not that kind of ppl, i always tried to hide ppl mistakes, and cover up for them, and never find it is so a nice thing to tell other ppl or make a show of it. soemtimes in life there is no body or nothing u can trust on, even the ppl u like or trust also can play u back and make u look like a fool, so who to trust in this world. everywhere i go i find ppl just love to find my mistakes, or talk behind, gossiping even i never bother abt them, they still love to do that. the worst is they make a impression (bad) of u to everybody, and makes other ppl also think badly abt u., i really find human being very cruel, cared too much abt themselves, want to be the top & can bring ppl down just cos they r afraid they be down so they pull other ppl down first. I ‘ve never yet to met any nice good ppl all my life, except for both my parents. that all, my husband also a good person. even though i am not a hyprocrite or bad person sometimes i am tempted to learn from all those cruel ppl. like at workplace ppl just love to find yr mistake even u did it once, they talk all their life, and make u feel or look like a fool, and antyhign good abt u they gossip it bad beind u and in front they act like an angel. is it like that means real world.?i wnat to be nice also cannot, should i show my anger face, be fierce and unapproachable next time?from all the self help book I’ve read, all said be kind, always listen ot others, make other feel important, i ‘ve tried but i failed. in the endi get the pain and hurt.

Some people meet alot of 'bad' people, turned cynical and stoop to their level.

What would you do?

Bontakun SG

It would be alot better if you can do paragraphing. I had my eyes popped reading it. Shocked

You have seen alot, but you have not seen it all. Coz there ARE nice people out there, just that you have not looked outside your current social circle. I believe the people you mentioned are those at your workplace and a few friends you have made in the past few years.

I know it is very hard to ignore their "behind back" talks and other hurting stuffs. What I do know is that there are alot of goodness to look forward to in life to keep each and everyone of us going.

If you find it painful, you can try to get away from them first. Socialise with them less. Find other people to interact with or spend more time with your family.

If you find your work enviornment disgusted, quit the job and find another. What you want is a working area which is good to your health, not just only good to your wallet.

WHatever way you see it, remember: there ARE nice people out there.

Beers!

I am not selective of friends, but I am selective on who is paramount to my life.

I b!tch about people that makes no meaning in my life and protect those that I see as important because I reckon even if I don't b!tch about people whom I have bad impression, they will b!tch about me. So I will have to balance it up on my side. Laughing Twisted Evil

I always believe that if the initial and second impression fails badly, it's almost impossible to change that kind of impression people has in you. It just stuck there because the impression burns into them. Therefore, realising this part of yourself, there isn't a need to try so hard, other than just having to maintain decent working relationship. What you can do now is to focus your change towards the impression of future friends, whom you are going to meet later part of your life.

I always tell the above statement to people suffering from your kind of crisis.

You must always remember that friends and colleague are mutually exclusive. If you see someone as friends, you won't see him/her as colleague and vice versa.

Focus more onto the people important to you! I won't even waste my time concentrating on a bunch of people that makes no meaning in my life than to develop better relationship with people paramount to my personal growth. Idea

Cheers

Have you ever ask yourself why those people might be doing those things to you.....?

alba SG

i know why becos all ppl hate me and don't like me and just love to bully me. ok just becos i am quite and do't talk much, never defend myself, i am always the object of bully. there are so so many bullies everywhere and i know i am easy prey, ok even i am not wrong i find it hard to defend myself, i am lack of strong character, i am weak, the whole ppl know i am weak type and easy to get bullied. ok even if my friends make mistake and i know it, i never complain or tell to boss or higher ppl. i just keep quite i pity them, don't want to betray them, but if i make any small mistake, they shout loudly i am the one, so i find life is tough on me.

i hve never try to talk back when i am scolded even i know i am not wrong. i don't know how t o help myself to be loud mouth. there r some ppl that r wrong but they can talk or act as though they r not wrong and fool ppl. like me, work hard, quiet but seen as useless. very sad. i find alot of ppl never see me 2nd time,they never bother to like me, or find me interesting. even my relatives also, never bother to get close to me, they feel i am brainless, i can feel all their body language, if atttend function, they avoid me, or just never ask for any of my opinions or topic. i am always left alone. they r some that even purposely want to make me feel bad or sad by taking away all ppol and leave me alone. very sad my life. i feel down always. i feel i am always sensitive to ppl feeling, i've never hurt them, or never talk bad but why they r running away from me. i tried to be nice to them but they just hate me.

working wise, at work there r some that like to talk bad abt me, just for 1 or 2 time mistakes, they talk all their life. ok i may make mistake before, but now i 've improve, but they take that old mistakes ex. and treat it like everyday i do that. so sad, they love to find my mistakes, or just love to bring me down.

i am suffering but i can take it, i am used to it..just thinking how to be more stronger. i read lots of self help book how to be stornger and how to command respect, so far no one respect me. very sad, wbat is wrong.

i don't know about others.

i live life by my own pace and standard. at the end of the day, you won't be facing them and their problems but your own mistakes and achievements.

NotFromVenus SG

Do not think too deeply into what others may seem to put you down. It is this passing around of their own insecurity.

All and everybody have insecurities , most people take the easy way out and pass this insecurity on by gossiping etc. Making jokes out of people etc , in fact we all make use of each other in the workplace.

Such that there must be some mutual understanding between colleagues, isolating yourself brings yourself further and further away from effective work and becomes the effective target of subject of insecurity.

Even Management have their own insecurities. Some people managed to become management by politics and have grow major insecurities on who can help themselves and not .

So it is better focused on what needs to be done for yourself and also what is effective. Accomplishments become secondary to survival in such a climate and depends on how you weight on your gains and losses , you can make your decision on your mental well-being, or your social well-being.

i tried to be nice ppl but always ppl take advantage of me. i do'nt know. sad lah.

Rock^Star SG

perhaps u are a little soft when u interact with people?

alba SG

sp my question here is how to be harsh, hard and be metallic strong?? tell me share with me, i am really sad.

-purpose SG

The only way there are ever gonna be good people is to be a good one yourself.If you are good to people, people will naturally be good to you.

If they treat you harshly even if you are good to them, try repaying evil with good.They will eventually treat you well and change their habits. Dun be angry with bad people, pity them and move on.

PS:But dun be a sucker and let yourself be controlled Smile

Rock^Star SG

well, i'm no life guru but what i can say is that there's no fixed formula. We must be harsh, firm, soft, compassionate, ruthless etc all in one. Be like chameleons. Oh well, perhaps it would be good if u could get urself a role model.

Bontakun SG

I thought you have a husband? Isn't he doing something about this? Isn't your father doing anything about it?

I think what you need is faith and commitment towards something. Maybe a good family or help towards other people.

Ever thought of going into social work?

alba SG

yeap dad is always protecting me even now that i am married off. hubby can't do anything, the most saddiest thing that i am so so worried is what if 1 day my dad fall sick or ////// then, what if she won't allow me to see my dad, i can't even imagine that, that is so scary of all., hey i tired to be so nice to her, also she hates me.

i meet all the bad ppl everywhere. there are also some that just want me to feel bad, and they knew i am shy, quiet, they are happy i am not able to socalise and they love to target that abt me.

alba SG

thanks what do u mean by dun be a sucker & let yourself be controlled? meaning don't let ppl control me is it?

virtualchick SG

You sound just like me. Quiet and easily bullied. But have faith. There are many nice people around. Your husband has faith in you. Looking back over my past jobs, I remember some really wonderful people and some really nasty ones. You see, it is like a bell curve. You have some really nice ones, maybe 10%. Some really nasty ones, another 10%, and the rest just average. Dont let the nasty ones influence your opinion of people in general.

Sometimes it is the work environment that does this to people, turn them from nice to bitchy. But I dont agree when you say you keep quiet and cover up for other people when they are wrong. People lose respect for you when you 'silently' admit to something you didnt do. Then you become an easy target. Maybe it is time to change into a better environment, and this time you should be more assertive.

And have faith, yah. There is so many beautiful things. You have a wonderful father and a husband there for you. Your friends. Maybe you also need to build on your confidence. And appreciate your good health, your having a job, and the nature and animals around us.
