Why do people have to be so rude to me instead of helping me to straighten out misunderstandings on SW?

Rutterman · 46-50, M
Rude and hateful people are the bane of social media. They take advantage of their anonymity to act in ways they never would in real life. All we can do is block people like this and report them, when appropriate. The good news is that most people don't act like jerks, either in the virtual world or the real world.

Sorry you're having this problem. Just know that you are far from alone.

Tell me who and I will send a suicide bomber to their house

@ExtremeNext Lol I'm not to name names on a comment thread. I've been told by very reliable people that it's not accepted by the TOS.

@Crazychick it's OK Nuno is my homie, I will put in a good word about you
Justme264 · 70-79, M
If they were n't being rude to you - they would be being rude to someone else - that is the way they are - they have nothing better to do in their lives I am afraid.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@ArishMell I am not in the habit of listening to other people addressing their offspring. It's none of my business.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@Crazychick Oh sorry, I didn't mean in that way - I meant [i]accidentally [/i]overhearing, and sometimes you can't help overhearing what you'd not want anyone to hear.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@ArishMell If I accidentally hear them saying something inappropriate I do my best to mentally block it out.

Some people butt in where they don't belong. As well as have to get the last word. I know exactly how you feel.
Teslin · M
@Crazychick You try to be nice or have a conversation and others butt in trying to analyze what you said. Usually they have no clue. PM from now on to avoid the busy bodies 🤣
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@Teslin Why do people butt in to other people's conversations anyway? I don't get it.
Teslin · M
@Crazychick Me either 🤷‍♂️.
I am sorry you experienced this.
ArishMell · 70-79, M
If it's any comfort, it's they who will not try to understand anything.

I don't know why such people use "social [?] media" when their desire to discuss anything civilly is so bad.
Justme264 · 70-79, M
@Crazychick nor where I grew up either.... I can only imagine that their parents dis not discipline their bottoms often enough!
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@Justme264 Was that meant to be a reply to one of my comments?
Dshhh · M
those are more interested in entertaining themselves , with cruelty
us the block. you get 500 of them
really changes your experience here
Dshhh · M
@Crazychick so working as a group, a concerted effort by these individuals.
this I can belive, such was the case on FaceBook, tens of thouseans of copy and bot accounts,
all pro trump.
there is great case for that being the tipping point over here
thier own ex executive testified to this effect
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@Dshhh I don't use Facebook, again because of what Jenny told me. She closed her FB account about 5 years ago because some scammer got hold of her email address from there and started spamming her with all sorts of unwanted junkmail.
Dshhh · M
@Crazychick i stopped as well. what I learned was so wild you would not belive all i have learned

a movie The Social Dilemma is fun exposee
I don't see people actually being rude to me, I think they just ignore me.
And, I've had the same feelings about them helping me straighten out misunderstandings. Or, at least letting me [i]know[/i] they've misunderstood something I've said to them. But, I guess their thinking they [i]know[/i] the meaning of what I've said locks out their interest to look any farther. I think a lot of people just have to be right about everything, whether they're right or not.

I’m sorry to hear but unfortunately there’s lots of that going on here lately
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@ExperienceDLT I think it's more sinister than "hmm".
@Crazychick i am sorry that they wont help you any i dont kniw what else to say
A lot of people don't function on social media the way they do in everyday life. For some reason there's a disconnect between seeing an online profile and understanding behind it is a real person with real emotions and feelings.
I don't know why that is.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@robingoodfellow Some of these trolls aren't real people with real emotions and feelings, they are callous monsters who shouldn't be allowed on earth, they should be sent off into space, dumped on Mars or Saturn or somewhere, and left to freeze to death,
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@robingoodfellow A good point. I suppose one factor is the anonymity and impersonal nature of the system, but that can't explain it all.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@ArishMell There is nothing remotely impersonal about me. I'm as far removed from impersonal as is humanly possible.
I amso sorry the horrid men here, and the bigotry. is such a disaster.
My apologies, as they never will offer them
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@SatyrService It's a commonly used expression round my way, meaning something so rare it might not exist. Lol :)
@Crazychick sounds like there are fewer stupid people.
a community? or just there where you live

Why? What happened? And sorry...
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@SomeMichGuy I'm not naming names, but someone was hostile towards me on a recent post.
Too many people, I have something like a rage addiction. The hormone cortisol, and small doses does one thing but in larger doses does another. And I think a lot of people become addicted to outrage Thereby so it is in their best interest to not be helpful
smiler2012 · 56-60
ok if i re phrase my comment then can we put this too bed finally and all be friends again . i do not want to fall out with you or anyone on similar worlds over a typing error on my part [crazychick]
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@smiler2012 Was it your typing error that started this? I don't think it was, I think it was that other poster and the way she was rude to me. I'm not going to blame you for this.
smiler2012 · 56-60
@Crazychick thank you all i want to do is draw a line under this one
SW-User
People are dicks
DaveyTaco · 31-35, M
Not sure. I wish I could tell you. Some people are just rude for the sake of being rude.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@DaveyTaco Why would they rebel against it? 🤔
DaveyTaco · 31-35, M
@Crazychick idk, but i hope you are doing well
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@DaveyTaco Yes, I am, thanks. Are you?
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
They're making themselves known so you know who to weed out
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@Crazychick eh yeah, I think so too.
I guess it's just more fun to make people mad
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@caPnAhab That's about as much fun as chopping my head off with an axe.
caPnAhab · 26-30, M
@Crazychick yep. again I agree
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
some people just want to be bullies.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 You think that's extreme? I remember a few years ago one guy got shoved under a tram for using offensive language. I'm not making this up, you know. People need to watch what they are saying or doing.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
@Crazychick nearly killing some one, yes,that seems a bit extreme.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@samueltyler2 That guy wasn't [i]nearly[/i] killed, he [i]was[/i] killed.
jehova · 31-35, M
alot of users come here to vent not discuss. That might be why
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@jehova Why does the site allow that? It's not meant to be a venting place. Also, why do a lot of them target me? It's because I'm British, isn't it?
jehova · 31-35, M
@Crazychick it's the users not the website. If the users do that the site needs users, so

[c=800000]Some people are trying to be humorous. Unfortunately, some are being mean. [/c]
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@ProfessorPlum77 Insulting each other is about as humorous as a plane crash and they know it.
Just block mean people if you don't want to deal with them.

@Crazychick Good. Don't let haters bother you.
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
I so agree. They blast you and block you, without any opportunity to discuss.
ProfessorPlum77 · 70-79, MVIP
[c=800000]The anonymity of the Internet has something to do with it. [/c]
I really hope you find more good people here. :)
jackson55 · M
Many are jerks.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@jackson55 How come, when we chased all the jerks out of my part of the city years ago?
jackson55 · M
@Crazychick SW is alittle bigger than just your city.
Crazychick · 36-40, F
@jackson55 Is it? My city has about three quarters of a million people. Despite me saying before that this site has over a million, people say it has a couple of hundred at most.
