I get verbal attacks often and Im not doing anything wrong, maybe I speak with an English accent instead of having a rougher speaking voice, maybe its because I have an education and they do not, I dont exactly know whats going on!

Is it anger? Hurting people to relieve themselves of intense anger?

Is it a political way of behaving ie hurt those that are not suffering like a communism thing?

Is it trolling?

Do people aspire to be gangsters because of the movies?

Does it get them more attraction to rustle everyone behave like a bad boy?

Are they trying to get people onto drugs by hurting them emotionally?

I was walking through my home town today and the Navy was out on display lots of young men and women in service uniform camophlage etc and the reaction of the people on the streets was largely a hate filled reaction to the service people that DEFEND our country, they are even related to the heroes that defended our country in ww1 and 2 all of their families are of course related to the brave servicemen that died for our country.

Now the MAJORITY seems to hate this type of person, (themselves) WHY, whats going on why does it seem insane to me but not to the majority?

    I have been getting verbal attacks from my neighbour because I have autism and because I was homeless before moving here. She keeps telling me to move and that I am a lowlife and says that seeing me in my wheelchair was the funniest thing she ever saw!! She says I am pretending to be disabled and that I have 'lost the plot' and need to grow up as autism is a childhood problem. She also says she was a special needs teacher which must be a lie for her to display such ignorance.

    She clearly feels herself superior to me and at liberty to say any horrible thing that crosses her mind and doesn't mind doing it where others can hear her.

    She and the neighbour the other side keep making spurious complaints to my landlord trying to get rid of me so I have had to have two very stressful inspections in the year and half I have been here. The inspectors found no issues at all.

    It seems autistic people are regarded as legitimate targets by people who like being horrible:(

    Tell her that if you meet the government criteria you are legally disabled according to our government and the police force.

    You know Steven Hawkins was in full time work and he cant move from the neck down, he could just about nudge his cheek or something, tell her to be careful of emotional thinking in this area.

    Instead of telling us in which circumstances you get verbal attacks as bookrabbit described it in their case, you're talking about the reaction of the people on the street towards the Navy!

    "maybe I speak with an English accent instead of having a rougher speaking voice, maybe its because I have an education and they do not,"

    I think you should also blame your condescending attitude, which you need to work on. A condescending attitude can lead to interpersonal conflict, as it can make others feel disrespected, undermine their confidence, and strain relationships. This behaviour can damage a person's feeling.

    Hope you won't take this also as verbal attack.

    @Passerby

    I do think there's an element of truth to what you say, but the impression I got is the OP was talking about the people who attacked them – not the entire group they come from

    I don't see anything wrong with having an "attitude" toward someone who has just attacked you

    Obviously if the OP was making the first move and referring to an entire group, and then people from that group came forward to attack him in response to that, that's an entirely different scenario and what you say is totally valid!
