Why do some people feel the need to leave a rude comment rather then scroll on by?

I just blocked somebody on here. I am dealing with health issues and the last thing I need is more stress. I realize that not everybody on here cares about what I post or my health so why not just scroll on by and go to the next discussion. Different discussions appeal to different people. If I come across a discussion that doesn't interest me I keep scrolling.I don't open the discussion and be mean or nasty. That is just not who I am. I could never be that disrespectful to anyone. Anyway I just felt that I needed to vent. Thank you to all of those who respond to my discussions. I always enjoy reading about what everybody is up to and how they day is going.

Some people are just snarky and never say anything nice and social media is another avenue of spewing their venom.

Sorry about that. There is not a discussion about health issues deserving to receive a rude response/comment, and you have been right to block this member. There are days like this here ; tomorrow will be better...

I'm sorry someone was rude to you! You of all people do not deserve that at all. I do the same, if I'm not interested in a discussion I just move to the next one. No reason for rudeness.

How unfortunate that you came across a nasty person here. You did what you had to do. I've also blocked a few creeps, but unfortunately see their ugly faces and boring posts from time to time. Venting here is good for the soul. I hope you are feeling better today.

Sometimes its a misunderstanding. I just got one where I said sometimes its better to be alone and the person thought I meant because of them. Not what I meant. Misunderstandings happen. But there are some that leave little nasty's as they think its smart i guess. I'm not dealing with this anymore either. Enough.

Oh I'm so sorry that this has happened to you, you seem such a sweet person. I can't understand people being rude here - as you say, they can scroll on by. I must say I've never come across any rudeness here, perhaps I've just been lucky.

Though I respect both your ideas it will not change one thing. It doesn't matter how a person was raised or what a person thinks. Rudeness will continue. I don't mean my rudeness here, I mean rudeness in general in one form or another. It's just the way people are. Some don't even see it as rudeness. They call it teasing or dis - ing.

I know what you mean. Some cretins at You Tube and Facebook are so out of touch with being kind I always tell them "Your common sense did not get past security at Marcos Gelabert Airport in Albrook Panama." and then block them.

Hi L_B. That is a good question that you have asked. It never really occurred to me to be anything but open to discussing. When I feel attacked, I will say a few things that allow the mylotter to rethink his or her course of communication. Sometimes, people may not understand or it is how they are.

I am an extremely snarky person. But not on myLot. Here too I would comment on a discussion that doesn't interest me much, but instead of being nasty I just try to appear smarty. That much is permissible, right?

It is not that I was not interested in knowing about your health. I come here for a few minutes now and then. Notifications take me to whichever post. And then I leave. Sometimes, I check the posts of my followers, at other times, top discussions of the day. Sometimes I say hello to my friends in the same post. I have no rules that this is the sequence I need to follow each day because when I can come here, and how much time I can spend here varies. I am guilty of wording things wrongly. If I ever did that, I apologize. In general, I am concerned about fellow myLotter's health, not because interactions fetch me a few pennies but because this is kinda my family. Love...hugs..tc.

So sa why is that someone so rude to someone nice , sweet and cool like you.There are really impotent-minded person.He/ she might lack common sense and care to human being like you that needs moral support at least to inspire you. I hope you are at peace now and your blood is in normal level. Just ignore that person my dear.It's he / she lost a caring and thoughtful mylotter.
