Why do people get angry/act mean and rude when you match their energy?

[Pinay_ako]

? 🤣

[RavVid]

It is pretty natural for anger to provoke anger and for the provoked anger to provoke more anger.

I think you could substitute any emotion to some degree into that circle. Lust and love possibly not but it has potential.

[HMedlej]

This behavior is innocent and mimics little kids. It might be a reason for anxiety regarding fear of separation.

[Paradiseequeen]

Girl let me know when you find out! My friend did the same and now someone just called her “childish”.

[Peridot25]

Because they didn’t expect you to stand up for yourself. They get mad when you take their power away.

Oh, love, you've stumbled upon one of the greatest paradoxes in human behavior! When you match someone's negative energy with the same intensity, it's like holding up a mirror to their attitude – and let's be real, who enjoys looking into a mirror that reflects something unflattering? People often dish out negativity without the emotional bandwidth to receive it themselves. It's a classic case of "can dish it out but can't take it." They're in for a rude awakening when they see their behavior mirrored back at them. It disrupts their narrative, challenges their ego, and, oh boy, does that sting! So, what's the lesson here? Sometimes, it's not about matching energy but transforming it. Spin it into something positive, and watch how the dynamic changes—after all, life's too short to be part of a never-ending tennis match of negativity. 😉

Y'know... I think the AI might actually be right this time.

[7Phoenix7]

@SotiCoto I agree

[LaurenM1997]

Ugh can’t believe I’m saying this but I agree Brad 😑

[Pinay_ako]

@LaurenM1997 🤣 same

[pethouse]

Good job Brad

[DannyUk2017]

Because "nacissism" has Became a Trend! If is not "just about them", then they will start to hate you, as they "crave" attention more they could offer... just "greedy" bastards...😅😂

There's far too many bad apples in the breeding pool over centuries and sadly the bad apples never seem to cease breeding 😞 lol 😆

[OtterMan68]

@itsclearlynicholas so if someone is being rude to me, and I am rude back, they get mad.
If someone is being rude to me, I tend to ignore them

[laly520]

cuz its possible their energy is toxic n they aren't ok with anyone being toxic but them

[shoeboxcerealcard]

Bingo! It's that simple. It's psychology Law. We get back what we put out. If you are mean to someone they will take on that energy if they aren't thinking. Most people don't think which is why they become their environment.

[Paradiseequeen]

Say it again!

[beebella]

They're either delulu or egotistical and delulu/egotistical people don't like when you boss up on them.

[LaurenM1997]

Cause they are jealous they can’t be the person you are

[itsclearlynicholas]

I often find over my life so far, some people just are very easy to get annoyed and I'm just like "why some people have no chill" mmm 😣

[IslaTheWitch]

I think my lousy English is not cooperating well... what do you mean? :D

[Peridot25]

For example, someone comes at you with a really nasty attitude out of nowhere and you do the same to them. They get mad because they were hoping to get power over you.

[IslaTheWitch]

@Peridot25 oh... thanks :D

I do it normally... my attitude can be equally nasty... if not nastier :D

[Staximus]

Sometimes people don't like what they see in the mirror

[Paul_in_Indy]

Why does tension escalate when you confront someone and try to get them going? I can’t imagine why. Why do you feel a need to “match energy?”

[OtterMan68]

I have no idea what this means? If I'm energetic about something, and someone matches my energy, it's normal for me to get mean and rude? What if we're on the same team?

[Pinay_ako]

It means the other person gets mad and rude with when you’re just reflecting what they’re doing to you…

[Paradiseequeen]

Preach @Pinay_ako

[LavLavLuv]

They’re weird
