why are some people so mean?

ok, I know this is just going to be some venting on my end, so I appologize in advance. Why are some people so mean? I mean seriously? I feel like certain people enjoy causing pain in others lives. This is my story. I was speaking with a friend last night, and he informed me that a so called "friend" of mine has said some pretty awful things about me. Her and I had a falling out, which was silly in the first place. She got upset because I met my boyfriend. Last time I checked I am 22 years old, not 13, so I guess my feeling was that she could handle me not giving her my full blown attention. I did say some harsh things about her out of anger, but this was 8 months ago. She is STILL talking shit about me, telling people that I am manipulative, a liar, and she never really liked me anyway. She also told someone about a private conversation she and I had that was supposed to stay between us. BUT, she still has the nerve to e-mail me saying that she would like me to give her my address because she will be graduating in a few weeks, and wants to keep in touch with the people she loves and cares about???? Does that make ANY sense? I could go on and on, but the point is, I don't like people like this.

She isnt worth any of your pricious time. People like her are misrable about something and tend to take it out on everyone around them.

Not worth it. Tell her not to bother contacting you. Ignore what others tell you she says.

I would just leave it and go out and make some real friends.

your friend sounds borderline and that makes it hard to have a relationship with anyone, sorry.

If she treats you that way, she isn't a real friend.

Usually people will do things like this out of pure boredom, childishness, selfishness, a lot of things. Or she may even have some odd anger issues to work out.

When someone is unhappy about themselves or their lives, they tend to make others look bad so they can say, "see, my life isn't so bad after all." I have seen this happen so many times. Just let it go. If you are the praying kind, just pray for her. She obviously needs it.

some people knock others down to build themselves up. sad, it really doesnt work and all it does is cause pain. yes, pray for her but i wouldnt stay in touch. life is way too short to have people in your lives that bring you down in those aspects. until she grows up and realizes the error of her ways, i wouldnt send her the info. you are worth so much more than that!!

thnaks for the support everyone. i just hate this because it is hard for me to ignore mean comments and shake them off. I am a very sensitive person, so all day today i have been questioning if maybe i am a bad person. thank you though for your kind words

Ummm do you still want to be friends with her? If you do let her know how much she hurt you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
