there parents only taught them to grab never to dream
they can't abide empathy, they don't know how to reply.

In most cases like 99.99999% of the time when people are mean its self projection, they can only pick up on the fact that thats one of your weaknesses because it's a big one of theres.

We seek to see ourselfs in others if we are forever picking out the bad parts in others were probebly doing something quite bad ourselves

Insecurity, the best way to make themselves look better is to make every one else look bad. Rather Juvenal isn't it

Jealousy

usually, people that want to make you feel down, or want to break down your confidence or self-worth are jealous, or insecure.

the best thing to do is:
a) don't listen to them! stick to what you believe in, and carry on doing what you feel is right!
b) don't react. this will show them that they're getting to you, which is exactly what they want!
c) if they say or do nasty things to you, then tell someone! that sort of thing is unacceptable!

having dreams is a good thing. It inspires us to do what we want, so don't let anyone stop you from hoping and dreaming!

i hope this helps!

people who are unsatisfyed with themselves find joy in others misery.you know the saying misery loves company,thats whats going on.if someone sees you are happy or successful and they are not,nothing would pleasure them more than to see you fail.screw them,keep on living your way,obviously your doing good otherwise noone would **** with you.

SO many answer. They think your going to succeed in many cases. If there wern't people like this life would be boring. WHat would be the point of a biography if nobody had try to oppress you before you got there..

They don't. Only you can break yourself down. Your inability to handle stress and pressure makes you a pathetic whiner. You need to man-up and learn to deal with conflict resolution.

it's a instinct fight for trying to reach the top or stay at it destroying anyone who tries to go above you.

Because they do not know how to constructively give you their input. We do need Constructive input on what we are doing, because with 'me' it adds fuel to the fire, it becomes a learning experience, and I want to succeed that much more. If they use harsh words than use the "mirror effect' and see how they like that.

I leave you with this metaphor:
Sometimes some people has to touch the fire to realize it's not only hot to 'you' but it is also hot to 'them' when they touch it.

Good Luck and remember "it's' just fuel to the fire that you have blazing."
