why some people just remember/saw the bad things...? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life1 month ago

yes, i mean of all the good things that we have done to other people or in our life, why is it that only the bad things are remembered?why some people easily saw the negative things in us? and even how many good things we have done, all of them can be erased in their memory with just one negative thing that they saw on us?
was its always the case? or some people are just have short memory? huh!
have you ever meet someone like this? coz me i do...and i feel bad about these people...

how about you? what can you say about this & people like them?
thanks for sharing... happy

I think its because bad things has the most impact when it happens to anybody. Its really unforgettable, especially when its something so hurtful. Whereas a good thing or event sometimes are taken for granted, unless its really a very memorable and something that had made you cried for joy, then its something thats hard to forget. Also some people are difficult to please and so if something good happens to them, yes they become happy for a while but tends to forget after.=)


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

hello redphile!

yes true, some people are just hard to please...
and most of the time our small acts of kindness are taken for granted...
but why is it that even the smallest mistake that we have done, some people will make it big & make it a topic of gossiping? grrrr...
i mean, okay if what we do is a really big & hurtful mistake, then fine i will understand if they tell things about it...but with a petty mistakes...wow!

It's all human nature, and some worse than the other. People do rationalize, how else can you justify your feeling if all you can think of are the good things, even though that is what happens 99% of the time. But that 1% gives you all the justification of how you feel and what yo do.

All i can say is that if that is the case, i think that she are only finding a way to make things worst. or maybe they are envy about the things you do. they think that you don't have flaws that's why when you made something wrong they exploit it. i dont like people who's like this. because in a relationship whether it is friendship or other thing they should learn to forgive about this flaws and accept you even they know what is the worst thing about you. for example even you are fat, ugly or even you stink, they are still willing to be you friend. and that is the most important in a relationship.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

hi lordozz!

yes, these people just make things worst...making simple, little mistakes into one controversy! huh!
and besides, they should know that we are also human who's prone in doing some mistakes...i mean nobody's perfect...
and you know, what's more hurtful? because usually the people who do this are those who we think are already close to us...how can they be like that, and its really disappointing coz they are also the people who i treat best & the mistake that i have done is actually nothing to do with them...huh!
actually, they are still willing to be my friend, & actually act like one in front of me...but without me...they are saying bad things... thumbdown

anyway, thanks for sharing...

Hello friend,

I miss you here dear...nice to see you againhappy.

This is very true and frustrating.
Whenever we do mistakes,people will gossips and would even make the problem become a controversy ..as if they are always waiting us to do a little mistake and they will took that opportunity to make it worst.(nakabantay para makasira).

I often observe this at work and at the society we are living in,like for an instance..the showbiz world and political personality.Those people are also normal human beings,prone to made mistakes and can also feel hurt when being despised from acts or wrongdoings thrown to their reputation which they actually never did in the first place.There maybe some politician who were corrupt and really doing evil things,but let us spare the good ones too.

I also don't understand why people are so judgemental...they easily judge someone without looking at their own images...saying bad words not knowing they are throwing stones back to themselves.

This is how the world really goes on my friend...so many questions..the answers are so few.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

wow! so many questions but the answers are so few...tell me. wub

any way, jaiho, i agree with you...coz that's what really happening around us...but hey girl, im not in showbiz nor in politics! haha so im not used to these kind of things...huh!
you say it right, and that's what i just realize now, that these people around me, whom i treated as friend are just waiting to see some mistakes from me so that they can have something to gossip about! waaah! how can they be like that to me when all i do is treat them well...(ang hirap maging mabait) its difficult to be kind coz people will take advantage on you...
and no matter how good we are to some...this will be on no use when you make even a little mistake...


myLot reputation of 100/100. jaiho2009 (1246)   ranked 83 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

That is really something to be learn my dear.
Being good,no matter how we treated people around us in good manners,to the extent that we even look stupid sometimes just to please them,not to hurt them becoz we respect their feelings.We step down to their level,trying to reach their minds(makibagay)and to mingle with them.
And,just for one mistake..one small mistakes...all the goodness had no traces at all.
As if you were the most bad person they have ever known.

The most painful part is...they are the last person/people we thought that could do such harm to us,becoz,we consider them as our friends.

Well my dear...i stop asking questions in my mind,becoz,i can't find the right answerhappy

Why...why..why...
Why is that..after all the good things we ever done,still,there are people who wants to see us fall down?,,Maybe becoz...they were jealous and envious,that's one reason i guesswink


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

correct...of all the people, why are those people close to us are capable of doing such things...
and to think that of all the people, they are the one who we treated well...
this has been a question that's bothering me for the last few days...
and what is more hurtful is that, why we need to know such things to other people & not from them? see, if they find something wrong with us, why do they have to tell it to other people & not to me, right? huh...
now i've learn another lesson in my life...don't trust too much & don't believe in everything that looks good...huh!*sigh*


myLot reputation of 100/100. jaiho2009 (1246)   ranked 83 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

and what is more hurtful is that, why we need to know such things to other people & not from them? see, if they find something wrong with us, why do they have to tell it to other people & not to me, right?

Uhmnnn,you know why my dear?

They don't have the courage to ask and confront you becoz,they know they are doing wrong at you.
They believed on themselves they are right,but deep within their evil minds and heart they know very well that..they are the one doing wrong against you.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

yeah, that maybe the thing...huh!
and maybe they not even sure if what i do is really a mistake...haha
maybe they just lost out of topic to discuss and so they think about me...and say this & that...do you think i should confront them?or just let it be to avoid more troubles?confused

sometimes....its difficult to be a 'celebrity'! hahaha just kidding... lol


myLot reputation of 100/100. jaiho2009 (1246)   ranked 83 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

well,sometimes you need to confront them(if you think it is really needed)becoz,keeping in silent would make other people think that you are really bad.
Just talk to them in a cool manner with poise (hehehe)

I mean dear,smile at them and ask..."where did i go wrong"? Does anyone among you never committed mistakes that you think i am a sinner and worth to be treated like this? (ahemmm..so much drama huh hehehe)

Seriously speaking my friend,if you think it is better to confront them,do it.At least,it can lessen the burden in your heart and mind.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

well, i wish i could do it...hehe
but i also ask my husband if why some people are like that...and he just told me not to mind them coz they are people who just got nothing to do and say...i mean some people are just tactless...saying things without even thinking...
woah!

i'm afraid coz i don't really like confrontations and i am very weak when it comes to things like this.... sad
maybe i will just pray for them? haha
anyway, thanks for the advices...i'l take it for consideration and oh...i like your lines...hehe very cinematic!happy


myLot reputation of 100/100. jaiho2009 (1246)   ranked 83 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

good my friend,that's better then...pray for them that have sinned against you.
I'm proud of you,your friends should be thankful to have you as their friendshappy.

Because to some, identifying bad things makes them feel superior. Identifying good things takes a generous spirit, and sometimes these things intimidate us with their implied challenges.
And also, because these are the things that stand out. In my case, these are my mistakes that provide maximum satisfaction and entertainment value to people who always remember them. If I did nine out of 10 things correctly, that's a pretty good hitting percentage, and you'd think I'd get credit for that. But noooo, people have to focus on and laugh at the one friggin lousy mistake that I made. ninjadoh


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

haha...very true, its just like a plain white paper with a black dot...when we ask people what they see on the paper, they will say its the small dot in there...huh! and they didn't notice the whiteness of the whole paper...
some just don't know how to appreciate...
and i don't understand how this can make them feel superior...so does it mean that the fall down of someone is their success? hmmmm

thanks kling for sharing...

People, no matter where they live on or what is their educational background, we all have high egoism. Usually people will determining other people from bad site, not from good side. We all have such egoism and we all know if such thing is humanitarian. Some people who have high education and good background, perhaps can judging people only from their good side, but it's rare. I think that's why we all must do good things and avoiding bad things. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

haha...but we are humans, prone in making mistakes...and sometimes, we are not even aware that what we have done is already wrong in their eyes...huh! people!
its really annoying coz some acts as if they are the only good people in this world & as if they are not doing anything wrong...

hi ckyera. it's been awhile since i last saw you here. busy?

i went out of my office and pop a stick of cigarette. but i can't put out of my mind this discussion of yours.

well, as i see this, i guess it all matter with trust and respect to others. people seem to lose their trust with people when that do bad things. they seem to forever look at it as you are bad and capable of doing the same bad thing again, and again. even if you had showed them that you already changed, and tried so hard not to do it again.

i remember, last night. i asked my wife about our neighbor. why the wife treats her husband that bad. i can see to her that he's trying to make him "under the saya", even he has a good job as a security guard in a bank. why is she like that, i asked my wife. it's because, one time of their lives, she caught her husband cheating at her.

and that she never forgets, until now. well, it's been years. i can't blame the wife, but you see, he changed. and i can see that nothing is wrong with him now.

contrary to their relationship, the wife doesn't seem to know that me and my wife had been to that situation too, before. but this wife never saw my wife treated me like slave, under her powers. she still treats me like the father of the family and her husband. yes, i can say, my wife lost trust in me or lessen the trust. but respect is still there... neil


myLot reputation of 99/100. ckyera (2291)   ranked 65 out of 37,995 in life  1 month ago

hello neil!
glad to see you here... yeah, its been a while since the last time i open a discussion...i'm not really busy but rather i just don't have any discussion to open & so i just make myself busy in responding...

anyway, back to topic...
well, in your neighbor's case, something already happens in the past, yeah, some bad things and its difficult for the wife to forget coz maybe she is really hurt that bad & maybe she didn't forgive yet her husband...
that also happens to me, when my husband & i are still bf/gf, we always fight coz i always brought up the past...thing that i think is not good for the relationship...
its good for you that your wife treats you that way...you are lucky.
i think its just a matter of true forgiveness & moving on...

but on my part now, i mean what's happening to me now, is that, i have this friend (well i treated them as friend) who i think is good to me, coz she really is when we are together...but i just found out that she's telling things about me, some little mistake that i made... and she tell it to other people...i just can't figure out why she do that when all i do is treat her well...i feel like all the good things that i've done for her are just put into trash...
well i guess that's life...

hi ckyera, i know about someone you said that he just remember the bad things but not good ones. for someone has been bad to him once, he keep it in mind, and he would revenge when he has a chance. actually i feel pity for them. they never be really happy, all they remember is the bad thing, they are too tired in life.

hello irefed!

well its good if they still see the good things on us...
but why is it that they only brought up the bad things that they see? and what's worst is that they even talk about it with other people, thus making it as a gossip... doh
i mean why they have to tell it to other people & not just tell it straight to my face?

ah okay, no need to say sorry...

well, that's really true when we are new in our workplace...and not only taken advantage...some seniors also have a tendency of always finding faults in what we do...huh! but of course not all... coz there are still some seniors that are really helpful and supportive...all we can do is to just treat them well and just be nice & do your work...

but as you said, it just teach me a lesson & makes me stronger & more prayerful...and teach me to not to trust too much & always be cautious...huh!
