SW is so full of attention seekers

Most of the people on here only seem interested in validation of their faults rather than actual real advice that is difficult to accept but is the truth. For example, there are so many posts about people worried that they are too fat, but they are obviously looking for people to give them validation by telling them that big is beautiful and that there is nothing wrong with them.

The hard truth is that if you don’t fit in the world, are obese or have no friends, it is usually your own fault. People don’t want to hear this because they live to blame others. People need to take responsibility for their own lives.

@WonderGirl1 this always cracks me up

This is a rather subjective and trivial post. You're here just like the rest of us.
Let that sink in.. 🙂
candycane · 31-35, F
Hahaha this is so stupid but I got a laugh
Chickie · F
@Zonuss pfft whatever, you keep telling yourself that
@Zonuss Are you so blunt in real life?🤣🤣
Reject · 26-30, M
It’s why this place is so toxic for a lot of us. Everyone goes around looking to take and never to give.
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@Reject I’ll give ya a knuckle sandwich 😛

What would you like to receive from this place?
Reject · 26-30, M
@WaryWitchWandering I’ll take a knuckle sandwich! 😂 I’m not looking to receive anything from here though. I learned my lesson.

And how does this affect your in particular?

As for as i know, this website was created to act as a support community and to share similar experiences.

People that don't fit actually seek this place to relate and find others like them. Hence, the name of the website. Obese or anorexic people also. Friendless people also. Pretty much anyone.

And when they made the effort to find this website, they see your post criticizing them why they post and talk about their situation on a website that was created for the same exact purpose of that.

Paradox of the day.

@leeloh and he can posts, it's not his fault you didn't take it well

@Memph31 So say someone talked a year online to someone, even felt love etc, but, only once they met up they were friends? I know what you mean in one sense, but also The dialogue and banter and chemistry they shared *Before* that meet up, was the origin of the friendship. 🦋🙂

We all need a little validation. Sadly, even from strangers.
AdaXI · 41-45, T

It’s filled with cruel narcissists that think they are better than others.
Synyster · 51-55, M
Wait until the Body Positive post comes out.
The attention seekers will be begging for validation. 🤣
Magenta · F
@Synyster You mean exhibitionist posts? 😄
Synyster · 51-55, M
@Magenta Hahaha yes, that too. 😛
I think I'll take a week off, lol

Oh man, some people might even request temporary bans so they do not have to suffer the excitement.
BlueVeins · 22-25
it's me

i'm most of the people!
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@BlueVeins it’s just you me and this guy babe
Emele · 31-35, FVIP
I partly agree with you but think there's a contradiction here.

"The hard truth is that if you don’t fit in the world..." who doesn't fit? In a lot of cases that is not the fault or choice of the person, that's the fault of the people judging them as unworthy of the same respect everyone else gets, because of whatever trait or aspect of their appearance. Using obesity as an example, no, I don't think people should expect praise, or sympathy, or validation, but they shouldn't be made unwelcome or mocked for it either.
I am glad my mere existence bothers you so much:3
Squirm minion, squirm!

Wow, you're a warm, empathic human being, aren't you? 🙄
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
Why do you care though?

Is it affecting you?

Kinda sounds like a YOU problem in this case? I dunno
Memph31 · 41-45, M
@WaryWitchWandering it doesn’t worry me, I just find it very sad. I don’t use social media because I don’t talk to strangers but I just thought a site like this might be a useful place to discuss my own issues anonymously and advise others. It seems that advice isn’t often welcome of it isn’t flattering.
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@Memph31 I find people don’t like to havethings delivered in a condescending way. So discuss your issues, but maybe don’t think your advice is the end all be all answer for someone else’s issues.

I dunno… I’m contradicting myself even saying that lmao. But yeah

@Memph31 [quote]I care about people getting real help and advice where they need it. Lying to them to validate them or protect their feelings doesn’t help.[/quote] This, right here. Exactly the basis of my response.

Can you validate mi tetas
CestManan · 46-50, F
I have no friends and I am obese. It is not my fault and I want people on here to start a petition banning me from "all you can eat" places. Like I walk through the door and the manager just yells, "NO! Get out of here, Ms. Two-Ton Tessa"
SkeetSkeet · 100+, F
Would you like everyone to comment "Yes, you are obese!"
smiler2012 · 56-60
yes i agree too a certain extent they do need too be responsible and take a grip of themselves but the way this comes over is a bit sledgehammer and harsh [memph31]
helenS · 36-40, F
This is definitely not a site for good advices.
Memph31 · 41-45, M
@helenS that’s for damn sure.
helenS · 36-40, F
@Memph31 My only advice would be, don't listen to any advice on this site.
Memph31 · 41-45, M
@helenS I guess if people really have issues, they should be seeking advice in the real world from people they know (or at least can trust).
Tres13 · 51-55, M
Bs post fatso, now on ur bike
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
Gasp! Well I never! Hmph
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
@WaryWitchWandering Hahaha nice! Ooh, the little snowflake may block us if we have too much fun on his post. No laughing. NO LAUGHING!
WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F
@TheLordOfHell oh oh shit… I forgot… this is serious shit here 😔
TheLordOfHell · 41-45
@WaryWitchWandering Damn right! Hey @Memph31! What's wrong, buddy? No one paying attention to you?
exchrist · 31-35
There is always another hopefully better way to see things. So yes personal responsibility is key
SW-User
Wow, the truth triggers people like mad.
