What do you do about rude people who personally attack another for simply asking a question?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer::( I am sorry you feel that way! As for what I feel I should do after I see something like that happening, I’d have to see the specific post to know. Who knows? Maybe the person is lonely and was taking his or her anger and/or hurt out on you because he or she had nobody to spend ********* with. Hey, it’s possible. The best thing you can do is “be the bigger person”, no matter how much that hurts. I know it’s easier said than done and that we’re all human and that it’s normal to feel the need to defend ourselves, but why talk to a brick wall if the person is indeed being a brick wall? It’s like smashing your head against it again and again only to bring you more pain while that person gets entertainment out of you hurting yourself over his or her antics. It’s not worth it.
