50 Times People Spotted Such Huge Jerks, They Just Had To Shame Them Online (New Pics)
It's perfectly fine to have disagreements and differences of opinion, but it's important to remember that we're all in this together. Treating others with kindness, even when we don't see eye to eye, is essential for building a sense of community and creating a positive environment for everyone.
When we act like jerks, we not only hurt people, but we also diminish our respect; again, it's okay to have strong beliefs and stand up for what we think is right, but there's no need to belittle or demean others in the process. Compassion not only benefits those around us, but it also brings joy and fulfillment to our own lives.
Sadly, these things are often easier said than done. So, as a reminder that we should strive to make the world a better place for each other, we at Bored Panda put together a list of those who don't. We hope that karma catches up to these inconsiderate weasels.
Continue scrolling to check out the images and don't miss what we learned about empathy from NY-based Licensed Clinical Psychologist and founder of STEPS (Stress & Trauma Evaluation and Psychological Services) Dr. Valentina Stoycheva and Psychologist and Collaborative Divorce Coach Dr. Ann Gold Buscho — their comments are spread between the entries.

Gettting Used To The Fact That Some People Are Just Jerks
According to Dr. Valentina Stoycheva, the author of The Unconscious: Theory, Research, and Clinical Implications, empathy is dependent on having developed a 'Theory of Mind,' which is the ability to understand and share the emotions of others.
"Many factors, such as upbringing and personality disorders (such as narcissism, for example) may result in an inability to experience empathy," Stoycheva told Bored Panda. "In addition, some people may situationally struggle with this if they are in an active state of being traumatized or have significant mental health difficulties. As a result, temporarily, they may have a hard time empathizing with others due to a lack of internal resources to do so."

"Empathy is hard-wired into our species, some believe, which allowed our species to work in groups, form communities, and prosper," Dr. Ann Gold Buscho, who penned the book The Parent's Guide to Birdnesting, also told Bored Panda.
"They may lack empathy because of trauma in childhood, especially abusive parenting. They are in survival mode and scanning for threats (hypervigilant). Lack of empathy is associated with low intelligence and several mental health disorders, and some people may not have the internal resources necessary for empathy when they are overly stressed, just trying to keep their heads above water."

The good thing is that egoistic behavior can be modified. "Empathy is a part of high EQ (or emotional intelligence)," Dr. Buscho explained. "It is a skill that many people can be taught through therapy and a desire to develop more intimate relationships with friends, families or partners."
However, she said that if someone doesn't recognize their deficit of empathy or isn't motivated to develop it, it will be difficult or even impossible to remedy, even with professional treatment. "Therapy would be helpful, as would coaching and feedback from others, ... [however,] certain personality disorders are so entrenched that the egoistic behavior may not be changed unless the consequences of that behavior are so painful that the person becomes curious or motivated to commit to change."

Interestingly, women are better at empathizing with other people than men.
Recently, researchers asked people to look at photos of the area around a person's eyes (the person is making a particular kind of facial expression, and the study participant had to identify what that person is thinking or feeling from a set of possibilities).
To see if cultural differences impacted empathy scores, data was collected from teams around the globe. Merging their results with large samples from different online platforms, the authors of the study were able to capture results from nearly 306,000 people across 57 countries including Argentina, Croatia, Egypt, India, Japan and Norway, and in 36 countries, women scored on average significantly higher in their cognitive empathy scores than men did, while in 21 of the countries, their results were similar.
There wasn’t a single country in which men scored better, on average, than women.

“This study clearly demonstrates a largely consistent sex difference across countries, languages, and ages,” study co-author Carrie Allison, who is the director of applied research at the Autism Research Centre at Cambridge University, said in a press statement.
“This raises new questions for future research about the social and biological factors that may contribute to the observed on-average sex difference in cognitive empathy.”

Dr. Valentina Stoycheva highlighted that this happens because most of us have a need for the world to be, at least to a degree, organized and predictable in order to feel safe. "People who act like jerks break social contracts that we all need in order to function in society," she said.
"Even if their behavior does not concern us, we still experience it as possibly dangerous or threatening. If everyone started acting this way, then society as we know it would collapse and that is scary."

Whenever someone asks him to stop he got aggressive.
People who blast music/videos from their phones in public are not fit for civil society and should be shipped off to a remote island where they can only annoy each other. They can come back once they achieve basic self awareness.
Just like the people who talk loudly on their phones or speakerphone when they're standing in a line or ordering coffee

People say to sneeze into the crook of your arm. Well when you fold your arms a lot of folks tuck their hands on the crook of their arms so now it's on your hands. I personally sneeze down my shirt. I don't generally put my hand down the front of my shirt!! Thissneezing and coughing on people and on people's food has never been okay. But they put a name to it and suddenly I should be able to cough all other anyone I want too?!!
You would be surprised on how many people dont understand that you sneez into your arm.. Have a very nice lady working in the store by me, she was sitting at the register handling everyone stuff. She sneezed right into her palms of her hands, and then back to handling all the groceries again. After that i try my best to not choose the register she is at

people are so stupid, why do they think its okay to take down your mask to sneeze?
ikr...that's exactly why you WEAR it. I mean, I can understand the music (I was once in a pinch and had to practice a dance on the train [busking experience so I could kinda balance but it was still a mess] and my earbuds were dead), but the mask thing is ridiculous

The next time he sneezes, aim a portable fan at him and see how he likes it. Smh...
I saw someone pull their mask down to sneeze in the supermarket. facepalm moment
Why wear the mask if you're not going to use it for what it's supposed to be used for?
On a flight from Heathrow to Barcelona last November, they gave everyone masks as they boarded. I was stuck in the window seat (on a full flight so I couldn't switch seats) and the twatwaffle next to me spent the entire 2.5 hr flight coughing and sneezing while holding the mask in his hand. I wore my mask + and N95 and still caught his cold. My first week there was almost ruined because I was so sick.
I really hate antisocial twats like this one. He should have been thrown out of the train. Period!
What??!! Where did you hear this? That's part of the whole purpose of the mask. It won't kill you if you cough or sneeze into it. But it might kill someone else if you take it off. PLEASE educate yourself and don't take your mask off when you cough or sneeze!

The article title should be '115 examples of disrespectful people' that don't care about anyone but themselves '
As sad as it is, the worst things done to me were from my own parent. Every day I was told a new way how I am worthless and no one will ever love me. I drank myself nearly to death at 20 before a friend saved my life. We've been married over 10 years now and he tells me everyday how amazing I am.
Unfortunately, parents, and family in general, can be a person's worst nightmare. Some people should not be allowed to have children. Fortunately, you found a person who helped you. I do hope you have nothing to do with that toxic person anymore. You don't owe them anything. You deserve to be happy!

BP is getting as bad as mainstream media with all this doom and gloom. Stop showcasing garbage human beings and give us more of those "awesome woodworking projects" or "human decency" posts.
On the one hand, you are right. This post was really depressing. However, the posts have descriptive titles. The title here is: "50 times people spotted such huge jerks ... " What did you expect????? Nobody forced you to read it. There's a variety of contents in BP, so you can choose. Why the complaint? Go and read something else instead.
Load More Replies... I stopped reading not because I don't care but because this is the type of behavior I see too often. I'm unsure whether people are getting worse or I've just become more aware of how often people are just cruel to each other.
In this new year, we have to not act like these types of people. Being a decent human being will not hurt you, it will show the world that you have the capacity to care for others. We all need to think about other people and not be destructive or petty or rude or inconsiderate. Doing the right thing may require a few extra steps, but at least at the end of the day, you will know that you were not a jerk to someone. If you are sick stay home. If you are in the grocery store and you decide you don't want something, go put it back in its proper place. If you are romantically interested in someone and they don't like you accept it. When you go into a restaurant, don't leave a huge mess. Don't be racist, homophobic, xenophobic misogynistic, or anything else. Now more than ever, we need to be decent to one another.
I sometimes wonder if any of these bozos ever see their posts out on different sites. If so, do they ever take the time to read the comments as well. Then I come back down to reality.
