Why is everyone around me always being so mean?

It is important to remember that people tend to take out their internal struggles and stresses on those around them. While this may not completely remove the negative feelings that come from others treating you poorly, understanding that can lead to increased empathy, and the ability to not take others' stress so personally. It is very difficult to be kind to others when you yourself is struggling, and this is something that we often overlook in others. This is important to keep in mind, however don't feel like you have to take on everyone else's burdens as this can be overwhelming. Trying to keep a bit of perspective when those around you are ill-tempered is difficult but can help your own mental state.

It may be a few reasons, maybe something is going on behind closed doors, maybe because their friends are telling them to do it, however those are NOT acceptable excuses, people are mean and there is always someone who is mean as we are not perfect, however they may think they are and they may think they can control your life, but they can't at all, I let it get to me and now it's still going on. I hope this answers your problems.

Everyone has their own personal issues. It doesn't justify them being cruel to others or to you, but keep in mind that they're living a life you know nothing about, and something could be incredibly stressful and it makes them lash out. That's why the best way to fight negative is with positive!

Sometimes people are mean to others because it helps them in some way. And it could be reasons to alleviate their frustration or to gain pleasure from being mean to someone. A good approach to assess this issue is to observe what started the issue (meanness) and the consequence afterwards through words, expressions, or emotions.

They may not be being mean, but you may instead be feeling left out. This is a completely normal feeling and it may help by talking to them.

Sometimes it can be jealousy and sometimes they can just be so low about themselves that they believe being mean is the right option.

Try stepping outside of yourself for a second. Try wearing someone else's shoes if you will. Are you sure that they are being mean to you? Every person you know is being mean to you for no reason at all? Or perhaps you aren't quite seeing things clearly. It may be that you have become sensitive to others behavior and self conscious. On the other hand if they are always been get rid of them! No one has time for hate and negativity in their life. Our time is too valuable.

Because they misunderstood you. Not knowing what trials you've faced and the events you've had. Despite all of these people, there is someone who will try to understand and wanting to know you and that will can be a long lasting relationship with them.

People can be mean, I agree. People can even be hypocrites if you poke them unguarded (meaning when they really don't know what to say in a situation where they can otherwise say except this moment that I am talking about, they can get mean). Getting mean is really an instinctive way of getting around things. It's really one's superb way to get around things; efficiency and inefficiency of the mind and the consciousness of body kicks in here. It takes discipline and training of the mind to remain kind to everybody. Kindness doesn't come easy, it's the result of the lifetime endurance and knowledge to satisfy yourself, to remain sturdy into that heavy rainfall of life. P.S.: Remember, kindness has the power to make the mean sayer think about what they say.

The people around you don't know how you feel and what they are saying. If you try telling them that the things they say hurt your feeling they will understand and be more caring. But don't surround yourself with negativity. Find a positive location.

Defence mechanisms, we all have them. Some people want to compensate for traits that they lack, some people want retribution from traumatic experiences, some people are just incapable of empathising.

Sometimes people just hate you for no reason. I know it seems crazy but sometimes how people treat you is a reflection of their character, not yours. Sometimes people are jealous. Jealousy is hate and anger fueled by self consciousness. Don't let anyone bring you down. At the end of the day, those negative people are insignificant. Don't you EVER let them ruin your happiness because then they've won. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

I think it's just them doing whatever they feel. Your special and worth it I promise, people are always mean although you don't do anything to them

We pay attention to negativity more than positivity, sometimes people dont notice theyre being cold or distant or even mean, dont take it personally and try to consciously be positive and kind, people tend to mimic the actions of others,

How people act towards you is a reflection of themselves and how they feel about themselves. If they are being mean it means they probably aren't in a very caring place for themselves. Try not to question your own worth based on how others treat you.

Because they are probably jealous or it makes them feel good about themselves to hurt others feelings.

People aren't mean without reason. Have you ever noticed how you behave towards these people? Your own behaviour might be the reason people are mean.

Sometimes people are mean because they don't understand you, they're jealous of you, or they're intimidated by you. It may not seem like it at the time but sometimes people are worried that you are better than them and so try to make you feel as bad about yourself as they do.

Think about your personal boundaries, confidence and assertiveness. Let people know how they are making you feel and why you think they are being mean. See if you can change the way you feel about their behaviour.

I guess because they are either jealous of you. You have something they cannot possess and they envy you for that.
