Why do people use other people to get what they want in life?

Because they are manipulative and cynical.

it's a matter of gaining the trust of the person. once you have that trust then the other person is more willing and pliable. not to mention some people are just that guillible or naive.

These people  feel insecure about themselves and try to make themselves feel better by putting down others. There are also  people who interfere in anothers life because they feel that anyone different from themselves must be made to be more like them. The fact is, people will always be resentful of those who are different, because of fear, which is generated from ignorance. Or because they're just plain jealous.  Just be happy in who you are, because you are the only person you've got to live for.

.... Because there are those that are self centered, selfish and want more than everyone else, and will do anything to get more than anyone else.  They place profit above all else, and the envoirnment suffers for it.

i had a friend like that. its a form of jealousy. they want what they can't have so they try to take what you have. or maybe she had a self-esteem issue.

I guess some people want what they can't have and just keeping trying until they get it.

I guess it's because when something good happens, and since everyone is taught to share the wealth, or the good, that you want to share the good news of your happiness and bliss with the other person with everyone else you know.  I think it also gives some people hope that they'll someday be just as happy,too.

Due to the fact that there are social norms that have been instilled in us since we were children. Of course this is coupled with an innate sense of wanting to please others or wanting to look good in the eyes of other people. What people worry about always depends on what they deem as valuable to them. If a person values money and property he/she would often think about what other people would say if he/she were only driving a certain car. If a person values being perceived as a an individual who is competent and efficient he/she would do everything in his/her power to get things done. It really boils down to what you want other people to know about you and the kind of image you want to portray.

Some people actually think that they are helping.  There are the types of people you can tell to stay out of your life, and those that just wont no matter what you say.  Its part of life.  When dealing with others you have to do just that, deal with it.

The same reason anyone uses coercion to get what they want. It is a control issue. These kinds of people are putting their problems on your shoulders and if you accept that responsibility you deserve it. It is sad but true.

it is not that someone can get & someone cannot. each person gets someone or the other ... its only that at the right time yu will get someone.. when you start  valuing the person. beleive me. be happy with what you have

I think its because we all enjoy a challenge.  We always want what we can't have and enjoy the challenge of trying to get what doesn't want us.

People are often not happy with who they are, so they try to be someone better, more exciting, more interesting -- whatever it is they think they are not but should be.

some people are selfish and do not worry about others. they are only worried about advancing themselves in life.

I think that the people who take their lives to the fullest extent have strong ambitions, a zest for life, and are open to creative thoughts and desires in their own lives.  The desire to succeed is stronger then anything else when they are young and this sets the stage for every stage that their lives go through thereafter. Not all people are gifted.  Some people start with nothing and attain the highest degree of life possible and others have it all and can go on to attain the highest degree of life possible. Its like a "crap shoot"! Anyone with a strong desire to succeed in what they do and reach the highest of goals can have the same things.  God, Faith, hope, preserverence, stamina, love of people etc. are just a few of the parts that connect to the whole picture.

Because some people are just plain evil and don't care who they hurt or what they destroy.  Some people look at others as stepping stones to getting what they want.  And if you are in the way .. prepare to be stepped on.
