I am one of those people that if someone says something very rude and then just say they are being honest, I don't believe them. I assume, unless proven otherwise, that they are just lying and are trying to be rude. For example, I once had someone in my dorm room say that my room smelled really bad. And she mad it sound so awful and even used her shirt to cover her nose. Meanwhile no one else has ever said anything. And my roommate was a clean freak like me so I know he would have said something.

If she or someone else had said something politely then I would have taken what they said into consideration. Another example is when an acquaintance was jealous that I was friends with some other people she was not friends with. She got very mad at me and even called me fake and said that they really don't like me and that they're just using me. I am pretty good at knowing if someone is using me so I knew she was lying. After she said that, she said she was being honest and trying to be a true friend.

I don't think she was. She was just being rude on my opinion. Is there a reason people do this? Is it to inflate their own egos? Do they take enjoyment at being overly rude? How do you deal with these kinds of people. I find these kinds of people to be arrogant, stuck up, rude, and even selfish. I don't stand for it. Yes you can be honest, but it can be done politely.

I actually don't believe people who are rude and are saying they are just being honest and trying to help. Because, in my opinion, they are not. They are just trying to bring others down to build themselves up. Also, what would do say to someone who is acting this way? Just curious on how other people handle it. I sometimes say something but other times I ignore it. All depends.
