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.

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.

I agree. I get that a lot. People say to report it but I don't because that just shows how true they are in a way.

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.

@Happy2BeMe Good idea. There are not too many reasons to have conflict here.

Yes you are right. I am not one for conflict so I would rather just walk away.

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.

This is a first for me and hopefully the last. There are so many years wondeful people on here.

You are so right. If someone isn't interested in a post, just keep going. There's never an excuse for being rude.

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.

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.

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.

why would anyone be rude to you? You are so kind and thoughtful.
The person was probably new here....don't know the basic Code of Courtesy that we all keep in mind when reading discussions.

Yeah some people are like that. They comment nonsense. Dont care about them, we are always here with you.
Actually if I dont have to say anything or just cant agree with anyones post, I just keep scrolling down... No need to leave rude comments

I don't know why some people aren't nice. Life is to short and I prefer to just move on when people don't be nice. Have a good day.

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.

Thanks. I appreciate your sweet comment. I feel the same way when it comes to people on here. They are like family to me and I enjoy reading their posts and I am concerned when it is about their health.
