People Discuss Things That Bring Out The Worst In Others

We've all seen it happen—someone perfectly sweet and lovely turns into an absolute monster when they're suddenly in a situation that brings out the worst in them, like being hangry, or air travel, or being stuck in traffic when they're already late to work. Redditor u/666FuCkThEwOrLd666 prompted r/AskReddit to discuss these common triggers that turn humans into maniacs, and the responses are pretty spot on.

I don't know what it was that caused the shift, but I literally didn't recognize her after the trip. It was awful. The worst part was I was her maid of honor in her wedding a month or so later. I tried to have a talk with her that maybe I should back out and w

Font - HouseRenovations 2d 11 Awards Inheritances. I've seen both my family and friends' families absolutely RIPPED apart after someone dies and another family member doesn't feel they've "received their share" or that the will was unfair or that property mysteriously goes missing before the estate is settled. Awful, awful stuff. I think the worst is my friend's dad and his sister haven't spoken for over 30 years due to a squabble over their mother's will. THIRTY YEARS. The kicker is that they'r

I've had the surreal experience of working at a Long Island tennis tournament attended by generally very wealthy people. They arrived in top-end luxury cars or limos, wearing designer clothes, and watches worth more than my car. I was tasked with opening a case of some sort of little branded tchotchke, like cheap pens, keychains, etc. and handing them out to the attendees as they wal

Font - becasaurusrex 2d 38 Awards Stress. Most of us are capable of being decent human beings who make a positive contribution to society. You add stress into the mix and people start to crack. Financial stress, relationship stress, work stress, it doesn't matter. When our focus is pulled into simply surviving and staying afloat, our ability to empathize or provide support to others greatly diminishes. I think this is tied in with the low morale we are all experiencing right now...we're all unbe

My friend was so caught off guard by the accusations she was speechless. I told this crazy lady this wasn't the time or the place for t

When our needs for love and acceptance aren't met, we seek out soothing behaviors that numb the pain. It's really easy to end up in midlife with no real idea what it means to be happy and feeling no connection to others.
