Mean People

Here’s a question…

Looking back at my life, I can’t help but notice that I seem to attract an inordinate amount of aggressive rudeness and insults from people. I got some heaped upon me just today! You’d think I’d get used to it but I am almost always surprised by it. Especially because I try to be nice and I try to make people feel comfortable. I have no clue what it is about me that attracts such abusive behavior.

So after the aggressively rude comment hit me today, and I thought to myself, “Why are people so downright insulting to me?” that I was visited by a brilliant idea… Perhaps it’s not just me! Maybe everyone experiences myriads of cutting insults and aggressive rudeness!?! Maybe it is totally normal and I am being silly thinking it’s just me!

I was so excited by this realization that I called my sister to tell her. And she said, “No, you really do seem to get a much larger dishing of rudeness than most.”

So the question is…. In your life, are most people kind to you or are you besieged by aggressive rudeness from strangers and people you thought were friends or at least acquaintances?
