Why do bad people get treated better than good people?

Has anyone noticed the pattern in life where people who check all of the undesirable marks: ass ugly, horrible attitude and personality, no brains, no empathy, immature, etc. always get worshipped by others and get everything they want out of life, yet genuinely good people get walked on, left unappreciated, and treated like dog shit?

These shitty people have NOTHING going for them, not even looks, so it can't be that people are only treating them this way because they're beautiful or whatever. These people are complete losers who have never done anything with their lives and are not successful in any way, they get off on making others feel miserable, always have to show off like a teenager, don't care about anyone but themselves, etc. Yet, these are the people that everyone seems to love and treat with great respect.

It certainly doesn't help that people these days love to virtue signal about loving undesirable traits because it makes them feel like they're "accepting" and "nonjudgmental". Everyone loves an underdog, even if that person deserves to be in the position they put themselves in to be the underdog. 

Obnoxious assholes who have absolutely nothing going for them are always the ones to have absolutely no problem finding hordes of friends and somehow are always able to get into relationships, often times with quality people who somehow can't see the full picture. Yet, if you just try to be a good person, you only get users for friends and most people treat you like shit and love to try to make you feel bad about yourself, and quality people are always the ones who have a harder time with dating as well. 

With both friendships and dating, the good person is always unappreciated and treated like shit, and everyone treats the asshole better and views them as better. Great people get cheated on with idiots. 

Why is it that this is such a bullshit world? It's like life is just a continuum of high school, even though everyone always talks about how the real world is so different from high school and none of the bullshit applies. That's completely false, no one ever grows up.

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    This might just be my favorite post ever on this site.

    No traction tho, I wonder why.

      I agree. It's a well structured rant that made me laugh but also he is completely wrong at the same time.

      • What do you think I'm wrong about and why? Curious.

        I see great people get cheated on for obnoxious idiots all the time, and good friends get turned down for pieces of shit. It doesn't help that I'm in my 20's, where everyone is still stuck in high school and absolutely hates it when anyone actually makes good decision or doesn't act like a high school clown. Druggies and morons who talk like they're all that even though they've never done anything but get fired from McDonald's get more respect than people moving up in careers and growing up.

          Idk, maybe read your mf title

          "Why do bad people get treated better?"

          They don't. They don't get treated better. Not remotely.

          • They really do. Unless your definition of bad (a.k.a. low quality) people is different from mine.

            The people who thrive off of putting down others to make themselves look better have a legion of dumbasses looking up to them as gods. Those people can treat said dumbasses like total shit and they'll still crave their acceptance over someone who is good to them. It's because people have a bizarre desire to earn acceptance from people it's hard to get it from. It's kind of a "grass is greener on the other side" thing. The good people they don't need to impress aren't as important to them, or at least they certainly don't treat them like they are. It's the same reason people tend to treat the people they love the most the worst; they know those people will still care about them, whereas the flaky assholes are a lot harder to keep even if you treat them like gold.

              That is not true mate lol. This is your opinion you made up in your head as an excuse why people don't like you. Get with reality bro.

    Theres knowone in your rant that I relate to.
    ergo, no traction.
    High school is a memory and I strive to never look in the rear view mirror.
    As a result.
    your post has nothing to offer.

    • I don't want life to be like high school either, but it is. No one ever outgrows the high school age mentality. It doesn't help that I'm only in my 20's and 20-somethings are basically high schoolers trying to play adult.

      Also, just because you don't know anyone like who I describe doesn't mean my post has nothing to offer. There are more people in the world than just those you're familiar with.
