Re: What makes people rude?
You know what? I get told I am rude at times.
My upbringing cannot be blamed because my parents are so well received and loved everywhere they go. I am envious of my mother who can literally make friends anywhere she goes Mashallah and people adore her after just meeting her once. I get asked about my mom and praised about her more than any of us girls. I wish I was like that but I am not.
I don’t find myself more knowledgeable than most. I do find myself opinionated though.
I don’t have the wealth to buy the world but I want to someday 
I don’t have anything against the world that has given me so much to be grateful for either.
Some (not all) people come off as rude because of differences in sensitivities. What you may consider rude could simply be me having a conversation with you with no other motive than to communicate on the topic at hand. Sugar coating is not a good thing IMHO…its damaging and causes complications. Unnecessary complications that could easily be avoided.
Anyway, I don’t think all people that are direct are necessarily rude…some might be yes. But not all. I believe people that are aggressive, bold and blunt are mistaken as rude and arrogant.
