why is it that some people are just so rude?
there is this one girl i know at uni, who is kind of a friend of a friend, so i see her around a lot. But she basically ignores me all the time! I walked passed her today and said hi to her, and i asked her how she was, and she was just like "yeah fine. well ive got to go." and just walked off. And when i see her in socialsituations, trying to have a conversation with her is like trying to chat with a brick wall. I dont know why she acts like this, she isnt shy, and if she just doesnt like me thats fair enough, i dont expect her to be my best friend, but a bit of civility would be nice.
Because im quite a quiet person, i find it quite hard to talk to new people, so i am really making an effort to talk and get to know people at uni, and it annoys me that some people can be so rude! oh i am very annoyed now :mad:

some people are like that at first, but they can end up being good friends, this has happened to me loads of times!

Some people are just ****'s, stuck up arrogant ba$t4rds who think the world of themselves. Try an alternative sample of the student population, luckily everyone is not like that.

(If I sound a little moody it's because i've just been reminded of all the people i've met in my time who were like the girl you're reffering to... grrr)

She probably thinks shes cooler than you. You have two options: stick around and see if shes lightens up, or just go and make friends with other people.

Some people are just plain rude and always will be, theres nothing you can do about it. You're better off just leaving them to it and not wasting your time!

Forget about her and move on! You deserve much better.

She is being civil to you. She isn't telling you to f*** off and she sounds as if she replies to you in an ok manner, what's wrong?

Just because someone isn't having in depth conversations with you doesn't mean they are rude, maybe you two just don't click?

Move on from what? She hasn't been insulted in any way. People like the thread creator starts problems that aren't there.

Break up with her and sever all contact: it's the only recourse.

Yeah, it happen to lots of people at some point in life. If someone acts abit off with me then I would leave her/him alone and focus my energy on other people who appreciates me. Though personally, I would never act like that to anyone who makes an effort - I like friendly people. I think that once you back off her, she'll realise what she's missing out on and would probably come back to you. I know it's a horrible feeling when someone ignores you abit but I wouldn't try to worry about it too much; there's plenty of different people at University who would love to have friends like you. :smile:

Yea it is annoying expecially if you know that you find it hard to make friends, I don't know why some people blank others out. Its as though once they have found some friends, thats it tough luck to other people. Its selfish in a way Id say but then again I am one of the quiet ones like you.

She's probably an insecure person deep down, just ignore her she's not worth it.

I have met loads of people like that, quite a few at school in past years and if people are like that, they're not people I want to be particularly good friends with. Also, I work in a concession in Debenhams, and am surrounded by other concessions (eg warehouse, jane norman etc) and some girls are nice, yet some girls walk past me without even smiling even though I work on the same floor, see them every time I work, and even speak to them sometimes.
It's just plain rude in my opinion, and yet they seem very chatty with other people: in work I try and make a bit of an effort but I never did in school a few years back because the girls just seemed to have an air of "superiority" about them, which doesn't interest me in the slightest!

If its hard to talk to a certain person sod em, they arent worth your effort, there are more genuine people who would make much better mates than her, they will turn up

There could be a whole host of reasons. People think that I'm not a friendly person because I tend to ignore people when I'm in a bad mood. This isn't a reflection on them - I just shut down completely at times.
