I guess it was a bit controversial theme and also some here have a thing with each other from before and... some of this and some of that. That's just how it is here I'm afraid. Try blogs though. It's friendlier over there (i'd say - wait soon the stormtroopers will be here over that comment... lol) but also more sleepy
Online? More than anything else it's the not having to look anybody in the eye. Seconded by the meat in the room sense that any person can and will be easily replaced.
And in real life it's the hard life although that can go either way. More of your best friend or worst enemy. Suffering can make you mean but it can also make you sympathetic, it can even do both. To know it feels is a double edged sword like the bullied often become a bully or a champion of the downtrodden - and not a lot in the middle not so much of the polite indifference that comes from privilege.
People judge what they see and hear. Especially online. What you send out is what you attract in return... No real mystery in it. And despite what many would say, sometimes concern is the only reason one says to you what they say.
Of courses I understand that people online judge one another. But I find it disturbing on how people will actually go out of their way to bring someone down for no reason. I guess I was just curious if anyone else felt the same way on here as me. I had a bad experience, like many others have. For example the insulting messages I get on a daily basis, or when I made a comment on being vegetarian, I felt humiliated afterwards publicly. I'm not trying to pressure or prove anything, I just wish it was possible to have a friendly online community somewhere, where all could be accepted.
And yes, I understand the idea of being concerned, and I do appreciate it, but I already know and understand. I look like how I do, and nobody should go out of their way to message me insulting comments based on that. I'm fine and I'm healthy, It's nobody's business as to why I'm perhaps "underweight". I'd rather be accepting to myself enough to post my own pictures, unlike most on here. Anyway, thanks for the comments.

I belong to another forum which is far friendlier ,so I suggest you go on line and test some out. This is a cosmopolitan site therefore a real mixed bag of people from across the world . Seems to me there are a lot of people with issues who take pleasure in attacking others for whatever reason.
Nothing new regards personal attacks Mackenzie,it's been the norm on here and best ignored as hopefully you will never meet said person in reality.

Mackenzie, There's a fine line between ignoring what people say to you and listening carefully what that say. You can't surround yourself with people who will always be agreeing with you, that will send you insane one day when you face more critisizm. And I personally hate the growing some balls or thicker skin thing, but one needs to become the best version of themselves, someone they fall in love with and believe it's what they really want to be. Then you can discern what's hate and what's concern much easier.
I understand, and I'm totally aware of how people won't always agree with me or like me. Which is why I have very few friends here where I live in Canada, I understand I'm somewhat different within my looks and my lifestyle, but I just find it so difficult sometimes as to how people judge others without even knowing them. Anyway thanks.
If you experienced ot as a child you pro baby felt terrible and they were mean and horrible.. When your older you may now have been able to distinguish, from k owing these people's ackgrounds better, which were meant as cruel insecure...jealous or just concern in an inappropriate way to a child. Hopefully once your older those that had so.y bad intentions you have stayed away from...still doesn't mean they were bad just means they may have grown up with the wrong set of life skills. The ones who were genuine with their judgement have hopefully learned to accept their way of communication.
Either way your not voiceless...let people know that they have upset you...say it out and then don't carry it around with you for the rest of your life coz there's plenty of others things outside of our control to walk away from that can weight us down....don't let the thoughts of other be something you take with you. Learn more about yourselves...earn confidence in the good and learn and better the bad.
Things happen to us all the time...its what to carry and what to brush off is essential

Does that mean you're over your bitter hatred of me then ?

I'm on other various other sites too, but the best laugh I had was a thread stating "Why does "ENGLAND" have a "Monarchy" Ignorance is Bliss

Lately when I am confronted with someone with negative behaviors and/or personality (gaslighting, passive-aggressive, emotional blackmail, etc...) I immediately/spontaneously remind myself that this is a person who is hurting, in some way or another. For some reason, this helps in a positive way how I respond, because I am validating their "pain", rather than judging their behavior. Sometimes people just want to be heard, and giving them some TLC rather than arguing with them calms the waters.

Why are people so judgmental ? Are they either(Vote Below)
I'm still confused, as to how cruel everyone was to me previously, so I'd like to understand.
