Introduction:

In the days of the internet, so many people feel free to be rude, or just plain mean, to the strangers they encounter. If you comment on a news story, for example, you may get rude people disagreeing with you and bashing you personally because they didn't like your opinion. Here are the top 5 reasons why you shouldn't respond at all to rude people.

It's What They Want

Rude or mean people are trying to get you riled up. It is what they want. If you respond to them, often it just eggs them on to continue.

They Will Not Stop

Usually rude and mean people on the internet will not stop. They always want the last word and no matter how valid your responses are, they will find a way to insult you or disagree with you. Some people just like to disagree for the sake of it.

They Aren't Worth It

It's not worth it to try and reason with a rude or mean person. People who are rude like that usually think that they are always right. Therefore, no matter what you say, you won't change their opinion. Once they are mean to you once, it's not worth your time to try to get them to apologize or see your side of things.

They Are Hiding

People hide behind their computers now-a-days, so they feel more free to tell strangers whatever rude thing they think of. I often see these comments and wonder if these people are just as rude in person. For some, maybe, but for others I bet they aren't.

They Are Judgemental

If anyone is going to be mean or rude just because they disagree with you on something minor, then it is obviously they are very judgmental. This is someone who doesn't even know you, but is instantly against you just because a few words you said in a comment. Any response you give, no matter how well thought out, will usually be judged even more. That is what rude people like to do - judge you. God forbid you make a spelling mistake in your response, they will just jump on you for that and ignore any valid comments you make.




Final Thoughts

Whether you encounter rude and mean people on the internet or in life, they do not deserve your time and attention. If you ignore them, they will usually just disappear into the internet and you'll never see them again. If you keep responding to them, you are just adding fuel to the fire. Walk away and you will feel better for it. Often times other strangers will come to your defense FOR you, which is nicer than you trying to defend yourself.
