Definition of a nasty person
Basically, a nasty person is someone who enjoys being mean or hurtful to other people. They might like making other people feel bad or awkward. A person can be mean because they are selfish, don’t care about others, or just don’t understand how other people feel.
How to deal with being called a nasty person
Being called nasty is not a good thing. It can make you feel pretty sad, especially if it means that you did it on purpose. Here are some tips on how to handle being called a bad person:
- Follow advice: Take the perceived judgment with grace. Even more so if you think some of what they say is true. And then make some changes to improve yourself.
- Give yourself the truth: Don’t try to hide what you’ve done wrong. Instead, think about what mistakes you’ve made in the past. From there, you can make plans to improve yourself.
- Say sorry when needed: Be responsible and say you’re sorry when you’ve hurt someone else. Make sure you feel bad about what you did and do not do it again.
- Show that you care: Try to put yourself in the shoes of the person you hurt. Think about it from their point of view. Empathy is a great way to understand other people’s points of view and make your relationships even better.
- Get some support: If you feel like you can’t stop hurting other people, go see a professional. You can also ask for help from the people closest to you. A great way to help yourself grow is to do it with other people.
We all make mistakes. But that should not define us. And we all have the capacity to change and become better versions of ourselves.
