    First..

    by ignoring what is in front of you. 'meaning" They may be sensitive... they will react to you as if you are hurting them......

    They may not be safe for you to be around.. Then leave them alone..

    You may not be safe for them to be around... then leave them alone...

    If ALONE is what they want.. then give it to them.. Tell them where the counseling office is in town.. and move on..

    You well have to move on at some-point and find other friends..

    I know this is not what you ask...

    So I will try to answer in a more general way..

    1. Sociopath.. they have no conscious.. So it doesn't matter to them.. they get excited when they hurt someone

    2. They've been abused.. and so they lash out, every-time their is emotions within them.. No matter what kind of eomotions they want to come out.. Or the situation......

    3. general Personality disorder.. they are all screwed up

    they are firing off when dealing with people , in general and weird and malfunctioning ways...

    4.. General low self esteem, Failure syndrome... No identity... control freaks.. You are making them look bad, because you have a life.. and they dont.. they are jellius.. yet.. They Dont want to do the work to get a life for themselves.. If they started down that path.. they would see their overwhelming character flaws... and that would be to much for. them... and the fact that they dont even have the character to look at their character is to much for them.. it slams thier feeble ego into the ground.......

    5.. Criminal intent.... They are simply criminal minded people.. and dont care .. Period.. about how you are treated.. or anything else in this world.. They take, steal, con, huk and jive everything, out of everyone they meet..... You are an object.. If they cant control you.. or manipulate you.. or take advantage of you, to get what they want.. they get mad.. Just like a 3 year old...

    Carry a message to them.. IF it is safe..for you?.. Tell them the problem as you see it.. And where they can get help... If they refuse to change.. Move on.. Do not even blink an Eye.. Just move on.. or the same problems will continue.. It will never stop...

    It sounds like you have grown up a little since you started dating, all you can do is tell him that you have changed and done a lot of soul searching and see if you can mend things without the games and gain his trust back. Cheating is the worst thing to feel and he prob feels like it will happen again and he doesn't want his heart broken. But the keeping in contact thing isn't going to work if you have feelings for him cause it's just going hurt you everyday. Tell him that you would like to give it another shot but if not that you need to move on because you can't move on with him in your life.

    Well, your answer is just about 90% of people do things like that at some point. The best way to get back at them and assert your dominance is to show that their actions are irrelevant to you. By getting mad or even sad you show them that they can affect you and thus that they have power over your mood and/or behavior. Even if it does affect you the only way to make it stop is to act as if nothing happened.

    an internally unhappy person. i guess it could make them a hater, but really i would classify them more as a loser. the key to this is to not let that "hater" person know that they are hurting you. that will allow them to win and be in control of your feelings. you don't want that. ignore it, act like it doesn't bother you, etc. and they might try to be more hurtful, but it's just because they're losing. don't get sucked into their vortex of unhappiness, it's definitely not worth it. they'll drag you down to their unhappy level and beat you with experience.

    Alot of people hurt others so they can feel better about themselves. It's a psychological thing I guess.

    I think this person has been hurt so deeply and feels the need to pass the hurt on to make he/she feel better.
