Why do people act petty




















Thanks for this post in how to navigate. That is my next step…empowering myself with knowledge so that I can see clearly what is in front of me and respond or not respond appropriately. It has been a rocky road, but as I walk it with knowledge and love, I feel confident that if it became necessary I could walk away out of rational thought as opposed to anger. This is very true. I have seen similar things in my marriage. Communication and understanding means a lot. Anger triggers issues and fuels them, I step back, pray, write sometimes, then respond.

It makes a world of difference to the good! Thank you for the post. I was able to calm down and clear my mind after reading this. My question, what if that toxic person is your very own mother? This article shed some light for a similar situation based on behaviors and pettiness. Based on my own experience I find that people that continue to try and create battles and problems are displeased with the themselves so they shift blame and change focus to make it seem the other person is the problem when its the other way around.

Target I. Those that are petty problem starters seek to drag out the issue while the mature individual seeks solution. Can always differ between the parties involved. Hello colleagues, pleasant piece of writing and good urging commented at this place, I am genuinely enjoying by these.

Good post. Now I realize there is nothing to salvage of the relationship and will have to detach myself. Not easy when our mother is still alive and needs care and a pity when I have no argument with her husband or family. But it will happen one day as a reconciliation is impossible after all her nastiness. Why would anyone stay friends with someone who can do that to you? In the meantime, I have to train myself to get on with the good things in my life and not to keep going over her insults in my head as it has a paralysing effect.

I went on to browse about how to deal with spiteful family members, and really I this article made me feel better after reading it. Thanks a lot for such encouraging words.

This article is so timely for where I am in my life. I have let go of toxic people in my life and feel such a burden and weight lifted. One in particular is hard to just walk away from because she is the mother of my nieces. How would you go about dealing with her in order to see my nieces? This is a really great article! Thanks for your thoughts! Thank you so much for this post. But overall, I think the whole group was toxic. Thanks for this post its so amazing.

I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this information together. I once again find myself personally spending a significant amount of time both reading and posting comments.

But so what, it was still worth it! I am amazed how perfectly true your words are, and your advice is spot on. I will never forget your wisdom. Thank you for keeping us positive. Thank you for keeping our positive spirit on the right track. Inspiring to say the least.

Thank you for this piece of advice. From what started out as me being mad over something somehow developed into my friend being mad at me for being mad at her and invalidating my feelings. Everything you have said is so true, there is no point wasting your time on people that radiate negativity. Instead we must fill our lives with positive people who encourage and support us. Exactly what I needed to hear. We need more people in the world who understand what is written in this post.

Thank u Amy for this I mistakenly asked a person to come along on a mini vaca to SF wont ask this person again to come on a trip again she will b our last resort. She is what u described in yur article above.

Thank u an have a wonderful Sunday July 1, Similar behavior of the person I was married to, with the divorce, then the daughter took on the same attitude and behavior, never happy and I at fault and to blame.

I moved on, as in this blog, there was no way I could discuss or mediate anything, and with the the county and court backing a unless attempt to remedy anything and could see the results to be as they ended up being.

Hey there. I am in school and see the person daily. She gets mad at me for the littlest things, even if she does those things herself! Please help! I have a friend like a person that you described.

She gets mad at me for the smallest things, even if she does them herself. I just got off the phone with my boss she is the meanest pettiest creature on this earth she does everything to tear me down …the reason I am here is I felt so low and down after the call I simply asked her if I could take my other coworkers for a side hustle and she hurled insults and unnecessary drama and accused me of trying build my own company under her company …that if I want to over throw her I should just come out in the open so that we square it out…I was really furious charged ready to respond to her harshly but I took a long breath and realized she just wants to drag me to her level of pettiness..

In another experiment, single people were shown fake dating profiles that included a response to a question about how long that person would help a friend move furniture. People were most willing to date the person who offered the middle option, even though the third person was technically more generous with his or her time — again, suggesting that being too exacting is a turnoff.

He also is very short! Napolean Syndrome along with all of that! I believe a person who envies your character is also prone to being petty with you. Surely, the popular cause for envy can be based on material possessions, but it is not the only reason.

I do not take it lightly when someone is petty with me because I do not trust the pettiness will be limited to sarcastic remarks. Great article. Sometimes we forget to just move on quietly rather than torment ourselves when people ignore us or are petty to us. And, when having to deal with a situation on line vs in the real world, the good thing about online is you can just take a higher road.

It is difficult when the co-owner of the business is the petty insecure individual, who uses the lie that it is the other owner, who starts random, individually directed, policy changes.
