Why are people so rude to one another on here? What happened to civility and manners?

SunshineGirl · 36-40, F

Civility and manners are viewed as weaknesses in the marketplace, in the world of work . . some people see others as little more than pawns in the grand chess game of their self-absorption.

@SunshineGirl yeah this has always blown my mind. Kindness as weakness. Like y'all don't know how nice I'm being by not bopping your face 😂

@SW-User You are correct sir! We live in a world so screwed up where right is wrong and wrong is right. I was being kind to a person and they tried to take advantage of me and I had to remind them that kindness is not weakness or stupidity it is kindness. One person showing another human being kindness. We are doomed!

It's the easier thing to do. Some are good friends are very rude to each other, but they are messing around.

@popmol Yes, I admit though, they feel like they're losing their spark recently 😅

@BritishFailedAesthetic well they only release one every so often now, also they use characters either very specific like the tombraider one or very unknown ones, like jeff bezos vs the other guy who is "technically" the richest person ever on earth if converted to todays money.
but who cares! you could have taken any other rich dude, or corporation dude!

but then they came out with a banger with ford vr karl marx that final segment from marx is a killer!

People never change. They weren't more polite a century ago. It's just that the perception of impoliteness has increased over time.

@helenS never thought of it that way. Maybe.

Some people obviously believe others come here so that they can demean and bully them for sheer pleasure.

Its what happens when people run out of logic to support a point of view but are unwilling to concede a point or compromise..Some people are culturally trained that winning is everything.. Right or not..😷

A question for the ages.

Sometimes it gets attention.

Sometimes it's necessary.

Could we all do a little better and try to be more empathetic and kind?

Without a doubt.
