Well, no, not if that's all they do.

Where have you seen this, on here or in RL?

hunkermunker · 22/11/2007 20:40

But I don't believe that anybody lives to do nothing but put others down.

They have to sleep.

Desiderata · 22/11/2007 20:42

What's a nese?

DarthVader · 22/11/2007 20:43

if you despise them then you are as bad as them!
just forget about it!

pinknesedrudolph · 22/11/2007 20:44

They probably moan in their sleep too Hunkermunker.

has someone upset you

My brother does this. Not a nice word to say about anybody. He had a profound effect on my confidence when I was growing up and I still sometimes have 'moments' where I realise that my behavour and thinking are a result of his negativity and bullying.

So no...I don't think you are being unreasonable. Don't let the bastards drag you down.

LoveAngelGabriel · 22/11/2007 20:56

I don't like it when people put others down in order to boost their own fragile ego. In fact, I think it's one of the most unattractive traits in a person.

ScottishMummy · 22/11/2007 20:57

the need to be derogatory/unkind is usually rooted in poor self esteem, a compensatory mechanism to divert from low self worth or else just an utter git

pinknesedrudolph · 22/11/2007 20:59

I'm trying not too, but it is easier said than done.

Who is this person? What have they said to you?

ScottishMummy · 22/11/2007 21:01

pinknesedrudolph i love your pink nese yah boo to anyone making you miserable

pinknesedrudolph · 22/11/2007 21:02

I don't see the point of acting so disgusting when it really hurts other people. Does it really make a person so powerful if they can make someone else feel terrible?

lemme at 'em for ya!!

ScottishMummy · 22/11/2007 21:04

some folk are mean and do derive a perverse satisfaction/stimulation from being unkind. rise above it, seek out those who love you -just as you are

pinknesedrudolph · 22/11/2007 21:04

I like my pink nese too, it's very original, don't you think?

LittleBella · 22/11/2007 21:05

I don't think it's unreasonable of you, but I find these sort of people pitiable rather than despicable. Something is missing in their own sense of self confidence for them to behave like this. Truly happy people are too busy enjoying their lives, to have the time and energy to spend all their time putting other people down.

ScottishMummy · 22/11/2007 21:07

pink nese is so original better than every-other-reindeer-red

pinknesedrudolph · 22/11/2007 21:11

Thanks Scottishmummy It has been a very rough day.

Am I the only one who can only hear pink nese's name in a Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau accent?

DarthVader · 22/11/2007 21:13

what happened to you?

pinknesedrudolph · 22/11/2007 21:25

I won't go into details.

Basically, a group of people put me down, and I feel so down right now. I had no one to defend me and it was awful. One of them in particular was really nasty and would NOT stop. It's so unfair, and they did it without even taking the time to listen to what I had to say.
