There are so many nasty people in the UK

[craycraycatlady]

I don't want to say the world well because I live in the UK could even reduce it to London regardless does anyone else think this?

Just seen some woman abuse a guy who is sitting on the floor.
He could be a begger or homeless who know either way he's sitting on the floor didn't say one word to this woman and she says to him "go get a fuking job you bum"

What is the point in saying that? He didn't even ask her for money.
I did mutter bitch when I walked pass.

I'm not basing my generalisation on just this one incident I'm going through my own thing with a neighbour who is harassing me but playing the victim. Really evil nasty man it's making me suicidal well I am suicidal

I know there are good people out there like the lady I spoke to yesterday via samaritians, my doctor is another one is a good person but I dunno sorry this just affected me probably because of what I'm going through

You just don't know anyone's story so don't judge people

Yesterday I saw a young woman drive into the car park, jump out of her car and go to the homeless man who often sits outside Sainsburys.
She asked him if he would like a waterproof coat and when he said "yes" she ran to get it from her car. It wasn't raining, she just had it spare and thought of him. Then she drove off.
It made my day and must have made his to know that someone had thought of him.
Some people are lovely. She was so kind.

How horrible poor man! for you too op. Being outdoors always helps me too. I had a minor proceedure in hospital today and the nurse was wonderful. I know it is her job to reassure me but she distracted me throughout the whole thing (about 30 minutes altogether) and managed to stop me panicking. She went above and beyond to make me feel OK.

Today I was on the train and had to stand up to let the woman sat next to me out. I was carrying bags, feeling low and tired and she must have seen it in my face. She said thank you with the warmest smile. Small thing but made me feel better

Too many trolls on mumsnet as opposed to netmums.
They don't intimidate me at all.
Just bullies behind keyboards with no real goals or potential in life.

Oh dear.😶

Well that stunning insight was worth resurrecting a zombie thread...

I like the PP idea of a continuum of anti social to totally humanitarian with most of us in the middle

One person gave abuse to that man. But others will have given him money or a hot drink. Most will have done nothing. But of those that did nothing, some of them will do great things in other ways e.g. Volunteering, giving donations to charities, or help people through their job. Some will do nothing negative or nothing positive but tbh I think most people have a positive effect on society somehow. A few are just twats but they are in the minority

No op I don't agree I think the uk is 99% full of decent kind folk and we are very lucky to live here.

Get some professional help lovely and good luck

I was in hospital last week. In incredible pain, didn't know what was going on. I had a Nigerian nurse look after me, and she was the most beautiful soul I'd ever encountered in my life.

When I was discharged there was a lovely couple who remembered me from A&E. They enquired how I was. Finally, another man who's wife was in A&E at same time, hugged my husband as we left

Eeek!!!, posted too soon. Wanted to add, I've met some divvies, but in the main I meet fellow humans who warm my proverbial cockles.

I've been to a few countries, including the UK, and I have to say that in my experience the people of the UK are certainly no worse in terms of the number of "nasty" people. In Cyprus I've seen a taxi driver throw a can of drink over a random person as he drove by, in Italy I've seen a man grope another man, in the UK I've seen someone spitting off a balcony onto a crowded street below, in the US I've seen someone walking down the street knocking people's mailboxes over.

But the (overwhelming) majority of people I dealt with in all those countries were lovely. There are arseholes and cunts wherever you go, unfortunately, and I think it's these arseholes and cunts who stick in the memory!

Hi OP sorry you are feeling suicidal. We often see in the world what is reflected in ourselves, so if you are feeling low and vulnerable you will see things that will confirm the way you are feeling. Please keep reaching out to others for help, your GP, the Samaritans, whoever. Is there someone who is helping with your neighbour issue? Have you contacted the council? Your home should be your safe place. If it's not then it's no wonder really that you are feeling fragile.

I see good in the world everyday. If you look for it you will see it too. I'll give you an example, it happened many years ago now but I've never forgotten as it meant so much to me at the time. I was on my own travelling, out of money and had missed my train. I was stuck at Barcelona Airport alone and with no where to go until the next morning when the trains started to run. They closed the train station at midnight and I was locked out. A homeless man gave me his cardboard to sleep on and slept beside me, with just enough distance so that I didn't feel uncomfortable. I felt like he was protecting me. Sometimes it's those with the least that give the most.

and I try to "pay it forward", that is do something good everyday whether it's opening the door for someone or giving up your chair. It doesn't have to be a big gesture and it makes me feel good. Give it a try OP. It will help, I promise!

If you ever want to feel a bit better about the world, Google charities in your area. Pound to a penny, i bet you'll find that you are sharing your space with hundreds of people who give to their time and money to do nice things for people who need it without a second thought. Rotary clubs, playgroups, museums, helplines, charity shops- there are people doing good things quietly all over the place! Don't let the dicks fool you into thinking they are a majority- they really aren't.

To your message about nasty people these days. Look around and you see nature, planet dying and we automatically will die within too. The rotten spirit without morals, love for money, narcissism and more hate than love will answer you why we need God more then ever to be a part of our life.
