Hello, I'm new!

@BlueVeins You are making me scared. But thanks for the warning!

@EricBridge No problem, and you kinda should be scared. You might be best off setting your inbox to friends only, even though you're not a totally real woman like me.

@BlueVeins I suppose I will hope for the best. And you're right, perhaps the pervs are more interested in women rather than men. If you have any more useful tips for me, feel free to let me know. I shall be very thankful for you.

@EricBridge Well, don't take it personally when people insult you. That will happen. There are a lot of political zombies on here who like to bitch about politicians and celebrities don't like, but who are apparently incapable of stringing together a cohesive argument. Engaging with them is not worthwhile and you'll probably have a better time if you just block them.

In general, don't take anything too seriously. This place is absurd and there's nothing wrong with that.

@BlueVeins Actually I was extremely worried that there would be lots of people to insult me already on my first post, I was ready for that. And I am so much surprised that everyone are so nice to me.

So are you basically saying that when people annoy me, I should just block them? Sounds kind of rude to me. Maybe it could be just a little misunderstanding.

Thank you so much for your help. I feel a lot more confident in myself on this page from now on. You're the best!

@EricBridge Not necessarily that you should block anyone who is rude, but that... you shouldn't really feel bad about blocking people. You'll find some people on this site who area just emotional leeches and Tfgs; talking to them isn't gonna help you OR them, so you should be ready to prioritize your own experience.

I don't advocate blocking everyone who disses you because that seems like it would generate a bit of a boring experience. But if you don't want to be attacked at all, that's also fine.

@BlueVeins Not feeling bad about people is gonna be hard for me, I always tend to feel bad about everyone. Sorry, but what do you mean by Tfgs? And I guess knowing who to block and whether someone is a Tfg or not, comes with experience.

I will see how it goes for me. I think that not blocking the people who are not pleasant, can also help me to deal with them better.

And thanks to you again for being so nice and welcoming towards me, I really really appreciate it a lot.

@EricBridge It's no problem. TFG means "too far gone," militant assholes who can't be reasoned with. Usually just call you names when you point out the problems with what they say. And I understand what you're talking about with not blocking people; I used to have the same attitude. It's something that you'll get a feel for with time.

@BlueVeins Haha, I'm actually feeling quite excited to meet my first TFG. I don't think I have ever met any people like that, at least none that I could remember. So you've been on this page for long time, haven't you? Do you learn not to care about other people as much the more time you spend here? Just the thought of myself not caring about anyone and blocking tons of people is scaring me, what if I turn into something like that myself.

@EricBridge TFGs are kind of entertaining sometimes honestly, but you'll get what I'm saying pretty quickly here. They're generally not too bright, but winning an argument with them is not satisfying because they are used to it and they know how to protect their egos. The best way to avoid becoming cynical and jaded is to limit exposure, that's all I've got to say. There's more misery and anguish on this site than hydrogen in the Sun, and if you try to understand it all, you're going to be overloaded.

@BlueVeins Let's see if I manage to attract any TFGs to me or not. But I've been here for over an hour already and everyone are very nice and sweet to me. I think that if you are not really that big of an arguer yourself, the militant won't be of much of a problem for you. I try to limit exposure a lot everywhere, and that's one of the the best tips for using any website I think. And I must add that your English if very good, and it's super fun for me to reply to you and learn new words and expressions in the process.
