Why do people act rude?

Because they have a short memory, or because they think that they will somehow owe you if they acknowledge your help, or because their parents didn’t dress them right, or… whatever! They’re human!

Because some people are selfish (narcissistic, even) and are focused only on their own wants and needs so they don’t even register their own bad behavior.

But you don’t have to put up with it. Stop being nice to people who are rude to you.

Why people act silly?

Why people act in plays?

Takes all kind.

People who behave like this are usually wrapped up in their own problems; too self absorbed to see that the world does not revolve around them.
I know it can be hurtful when you’ve given your energy and time to someone and they can’t appreciate it, but like @marinelife said, you don’t have o put up with it.

My sense is that a lot of folks who behave rudely are in pain of some sort. Their own distress clouds their perception of the other’s feelings and the results of their actions.

Some act that way because they do not know anything different. [ no matter how good of a friend you are to them .. it’s in their nature ]

@Magdalene, “Why is it so that people act too rude to you even when you have been always helpful to them? Why do they forget favors that you did to them when they needed help badly?”

Because you allow them to treat you that way by continuing to give them one more chance. I try very hard to not have people like that in my life. Life is too short and there are too many people who are great to be around and to spend time with.

I’m learning to disassociate with family members who are like this as well. It is a learning process for me. I have a short memory and think, “Oh, they’ve changed. This time will be different.” I’m learning to not answer the phone when they call. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I’m often bent out of shape holding the same question. I try my best with all conscientious effort to respect my fellow humans, seems like a basic and beneficial concept, both for our own dignity and the unique capacity of humans to compassion and consideration to pay it forward always.
To answer this question I recall a moment of epiphany. In reflection I found my psyche full of memories of people hurting me callously or unintentionally and perplexed at why they don’t have a clue what they were doing and how it had such a negative impact. Then I tried to remember all the times I offended or hurt another, as unintentional or weak moment of failing it may have been. I couldn’t remember but a handful or failing between my wife and I, but beyond that, nil. I can confidently say there are probably many many times I have failed in this capacity, out of being tired or overwhelmed, or reflecting hurt back. We have the capacity for love and respect but life works on us, wares us down, beats us down and instead of paying it forward we play it backwards.

Even people that claim to be kind can be rude to others. It’s selfishness, plain and simple.

People suck.

Right @marinelife

Regardless of ‘why?’ Does it really matter?
Maybe they have a personality disorder or maybe they are just oblivious jerks.
Mostly it is about being unaware with zero self examination skills.

HAHA…..
“People suck”
I agree 100%.
It’s because “People suck”.

they have lack of self-respect. Therefore, they are unable to give respect.

“Hell is other people” Jean-Paul Sartre

you being helpful to them does not mean they have to treat you any differently.

I hope you don’t do things for people because you expect something in return.

(NSFW) Some people are just Dickheads.

@blueiiznh Nice!

@blueiiznh

LOL! True! : D

If you do someone a favor with an expectation they will do something for you, is it really a favor?

Because they were born this/that way

I think it’s revenge from when another person was rude to them. That or pure stupidity.

Lack of self-control skills.
