I Don't Understand Why Some People Are So Mean

I guess I am not tough enough for this place?

Just now I was mocked and made fun of for replying honestly to a post. Worse the author of the post I replied to was, I thought, one of the nice people. Instead she went along with her guy pals.

It made me cry. Like I said I'm not into combat.

Sorry you got your feelings hurt...unfortunately, there are a lot of brutal people on here (as well as the internet in general) that don't know how to be anything but easily-angered or supercilious.

A lot of them, I think, have shitty personal lives and use websites like this as an outlet for discharging their negative energy. Their negative energy has to go somewhere, as far as they're concerned, so their perspective is: "Why not pass it onto others?"

Like, say the slightest thing that doesn't agree with them and automatically you're a moving target.

It's fucked up, really. But thankfully most of these people are easy to spot by the way they reply to others on their own posts. If I don't like the way they speak to others, I distance myself from them (sometimes block them to avoid any possible interaction).

That's how I've learned to deal with it, after ten years of talking to other people online. I hope you find my advice to be of value to you.

@19StarPrincess I didn't necessarily mean to come across as saying you need to be tougher. I just meant to say try to research some of these people a little more before trying to interact with them.

@19StarPrincess I see. Well, a couple of other things you can do is report their comments for inappropriate behavior or you can stick up for yourself and tell those people you don't care what they think of you. That's another way that I roll.
