what will you do if someone you know has a bad mouth and bad attitude? he keeps on talking bad things and like to b swearing (not really at you) but just like to always swear, always in a bad mood, very negative and not good to be with and he's ruining your day just to hear and see him/her like that. Can you tell that person honestly what you think and feel about his/her bad attitude? what if he/she gets mad at you then, what will you do?

I would take him to a quiet place and explain nicely to him how I feel about his actions. If he is upset well ... not that I am uncaring but I beleive you would be the best friend to him than the others who behave as if it is not annoying and disgusting.

It depends on how close we are as friends. If we're really good friends, then I would tell him that his attitude isn't quite the right one and that he should reflect on his behaviour then change it a little. If he's a close friend of mine, he would take my advice into consideration and maybe apply it. BUT, if I don't have too much to do with him, I guess I'd just leave him like that and state my opinion only if he begins behaving badly when it comes to me. If he gets mad...I guess he doesn't worth a try... there are people and people and we just can't change them all by our principles.

Hi there. Honestly, I can tell a person what I think, wether they're bad or good, all it is, is me giving my opinion and anyway, I wouldnt surround myself with negative people like that, they have nothing to offer to anyone but misery and negativity, so I would really choose not to be around those types of people, who are angry at the world...

It depends on the person. Theres one guy I know who uses the F word at 50 times per minute. Deep down I know he means well and only talks that way to get the point across, its also a facet of his personality with habits and traits woven in. So many times its hard to change someone like this or convince them they are wrong. However, I do have limits with extreme foul language (use that toward a kid that only minorly misbehaved, and you'll hear my wrath).

I do have somewhat of a potty mouth, but I don't have a bad attitude, not really. I have bad days, but not a bad attitude.

Most ppl that know me know that I'm offended by cursing and won't do it around me. So far as the type of person your talking about I'd definately stay away from that type of person. AT PEACE WITHIN

Hi, well if that person is a friend of mine, i would have told him long time back about his bad habit and attitude as i feel if you are friends then we must be frank, and honest in the friendship, and i think if hed been my friend too, he would have taken it sportingly and tried to imrove himself and get better, other than taking it ill. But if the person is not my friend, i would at first hesitate to tell the person frankly about his bad habit, and would try to keep away from such a person. i dont think we need to interact much at all. But if things get worse,and somehow we are forced in such a situation that we have to talk and face each other all the time, then i would frankly tell the person what i dont like and would politely suggest, how they can make amends and change themseleves too. If they feel bad, they would express it to me, i would apologise and not look back, but would know within me that at least i did try, instead of just bearing up with this person all the time. And if the person takes it positively then i would have earned a friend as would have improved his bad habit :)
