Question by Gene Eracism: Why do some people take rejection so harshly? Thought this was a free country…?
It seems like people in my past that I have had legit reasons to cut out of my life always get severely offended and have hatred towards me for cutting them out of my life. I tried talking with the few people who took rejection the worst about problems I had with them many times but they did not change so I had no choice to end my relationship with them. I also know that it is NEVER a good thing to try and change someone because they end up resenting you. It is as if the people who took rejection the harshest were the dumbest or most miserable. I have noticed that girls who have liked me in the past are usually the ones who go absolutely insane and try and ruin my reputation. Guys on the other hand talk a little shit and treat you somewhat cold. Why the hell do some people get so offended? This is a free country and I have tried everything I could with them to better the relationship. Makes me think that those people were just truly unintelligent and immature. Most of these old friends have only cared about themselves in my relationship with them and it showed. Do the people that try and ruin your reputation have mental issues or something? Seems like most of them were very unstable people and a lot of them have ended up failing in life(dropping out of school, trouble with the law, drug/alcohol addiction, and/or psychos). Maybe the people who talk bad about someone who doesn’t want to have anything to do with them are just simply failures. Anyone have knowledge on this? Maybe I was just hanging around the wrong people?

There is no such thing as a “free” country. “Free” country is just a ideal, a dream
