DO you treat them nice so that they will treat you nice too? Or do you treat them bad also and show them there are not only the bad person? Can you share your thoughts on this.. Thanks in advance.

Personally, I avoid toxic (bad) people like the plague! Why would you want to lower yourself to their level by treating them badly? In my experience, people like this do not get the point when you're rude back to them as they don't realize their own toxicity. The best way to handle it is to avoid being around them.

I treat just the same, I don't look at people of what they do but of what they show to me. If they treat me as their friend, then I'll return the favor to them. Like if they greet me, then I'll greet in return. For me, I don't choose my friends because they are the one's who've chosen me!;)

It depends on what you mean by a bad person. Are they just not nice, or have they done something seriously wrong? If they're just not nice, I continue to be nice to them, and let them be rude in return if they so choose. I am almost always nice to people in general. However, if they have done something seriously wrong and harmful to others, I will not be able to be nice to them.

If someone's nasty to me, I try to just keep out of their way, really. I'm perfectly civil when they talk to me, or if I have to talk to them, because there's no point being nasty just for the sake of it - sooner or later, people will realize this person's not very nice, and hopefully, they'll see the error of their ways. Just don't give them an excuse to say anything nasty to you!

I feel that there'll be some good in every bad person and so would like to deal them politely. Some or the other person should make them realise this truth so that they don't repeat this again.

I have not learnt how to throw stones at filth and I do not want to learn also.

I am sorry, but I dont think there are "bad persons". Every human being has two sides ie good side and bad side. People we think good, suddenly might do a bad thing in our point of view. Same way, people who we think bad surely would do something very nice. So, if i meet a person, who, in my view, do bad things, I will not treat him differently. According to my religion, every sheep is valuable to the shepherd and God has told us not to judge anybody. Also, nobody's perfect. So i think every action has a cause and may be the action is bad but the cause is good. In my point of view, one must not label anybody bad which is not fair. Sorry if i said something against your feelings. But this is what I feel. Have a nice day.

I try real hard to treat everybody the same. Often times, behind the attitude of a person who acts bad is somebody who has low self-esteem. If I treated somebody bad just because they treated me bad, or did revenge on them, then that would be lowering myself to their level...and then I would be bad too. As they say, two wrongs don't make a right. If a person tries consistently to be bad to me (or towards me) I will just not bother interacting with that person.

You have to be the better person, so I treat 'bad people' the way i want to be treated. It's hard sometimes, but It's the best thing to do. Now, that doesn't mean I do it ALL the time, but when I catch myself being mean, I try to change and treat them better.
