Why does everyone have know your business? (32)
HottieRVA0313Moseley, Virginia USA4 Threads 7 PostsWhy Does everyone have to know everything about everyone else's business? I hate when someone comes up and says to me something about what I am currently doing. Why do they care? Or when someone in your family comes up and has to ask u a billion questions on when ur life is heading. I can't stand that.

Depends on whether it's out of genuine concern, or just digging for gossip.
I don't mind my friends or family asking how I am, or what I'm doing, because they actually care. It's always nice to know people give a s*.
As for the gossip hounds and the ones prying into anyone's personal business, get a f*life, or drop dead. *insert middle finger emoticon*

It's because they care about you. Relish that, but tell them to please talk about other things, or tell them that's up to you to figure your life out.
Appreciate the fact that there are people who care about you, though.

Well some people view information as currency, and they trade gossip and information about others to gain new friends and to make themselves feel accepted (in their own mind).
I've been asked all manner of questions that were none of their business, but to some people that doesn't sink in and they don't even realise it's inappropriate.
Hell ive even been badgered about my own appearance, post a picture, send me a picture etc......when i really don't care what anyone thinks about my appearance.
The frustration is part gets me, and i have to say anyone who wants to know all about my past when i don't even know them i would shall we say wonder why they want to know?
To tell other people....seen that and been told it....not just here, but elsewhere too.
Remember, most of these people you will never meet, have no wish to meet and in some cases would do your best to avoid.
I talk openly in the forums for example to minimise the amount of info that some people can think they can share or gossip about me.
The short version is i don't do games, don't do drama and i have enough of the crap you see on websites.
If you want to gossip about me go ahead is my attitude, i couldn't care less

If you like a guy and your parents are disagree and they say that they disown you, do you stop communicating with that guy because your parents told you to do so?

It's called too lazy to get a life of their own, but not too lazy to try to live yours.

This reminds me of the small town that I'm in. The city's population is right at 10,000. Well, I've worked with the public here almost 10 years now. Between that and being an ex-preacher's wife, I'm familiar with alot of people. I said all that to say this, almost more times than not I will run into someone that will proceed to "tell me" about "my" current life as opposed to the few that won't "assume" and just ask me. Yes it's good to know that others care how you are doing. But for the ones that gather flies, I have no use for.
Sorry for rambling.

I agree with Robbie. I tell people what I want to tell them.
When they push my buttons I use body language to let them know I don't want to converse anymore on the subject. If they push two buttons I tell them straight out "I'd don't want to talk about it". Call it rude, call it want you want, it's their fault if they are being nosey.
At my office, if someone says, "so how are you doing", I know it's being asked for gossip and I just say fine and walk away. And it's not only the women that gossip....the men in my office are big gossipers and they are attorneys.
When I tell people in the forums about myself, I don't care what they think. It's not important to me that I am liked. However, it is important to me to be accepted with courtesy. I've told some very personal things in the forums only because it fit the thread. If I'm going to answer a question, it has to be the truth, otherwise, why answer. I don't worry about being judged, that's going to happen anyway.

I do the same, ive explained i can relate to losing a business/being a single parent/experience with grief and all sorts.
Hell i nearly even died on the forums!
I do it because some people feel they are the only one going through what they think is a rough time, and point out if i can survive all the grief then they can too.
More often or not i even offer advise on the quiet too.
Other than that i just joke, because there's enough grief in the real world without coming in here and getting more!

I agree Corinne. I'm not here to win brownie points, be in a clique, be the all-knowing soul, seeking approval and the such. I'm only here to enjoy the company of others, make some friends, encourage others who are walking where I've already been and just shootin' the breeze. Anything else does not matter to me.

I was told yesterday i was being condescending, for adding to a post making a remark on a thread where a guy took a long time to do an interesting subject for once!
And "step off" or something with a remark, "whoever i was".
After chuckling i couldn't even be bothered to tell him who i was, that would have only pissed him off more!
Oh and i was more superior apparently!
He must have thought i was looking down on him as i was part of some Empire or something talking to a colonial servant!
Have a look at the "Men who look at goats" thread and you'll see another example of the good old syndrome where people cant even debate or talk about anything without being offended when they want to be.
What can you do? I laugh and think, who cares!
