I think some of you come here just be mean.

Why? What does that do for you?

We can be anything here. Why not be kind?

@Convivial that’s exactly why I try to be understanding at first, even when I feel like someone is being a dick. This TED talk literally changed how I talk to people online.

@JustGoneNow I haven't seen that yet, but that's often a story behind most people

JustGoneNow ·

@Convivial yup.

Sometimes (most times) I think it's a matter of 'you can't fire me, I quit!' They feel unworthy of being liked and set out to prove they're not likable so they can't be disappointed. It's sad, really.

@Mamapolo2016 Maybe you are on to something.

Think sometimes they think they're edgy or something. Trying to come off as all tough when in reality you're just rolling your eyes at them

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@Bexsy I am certainly not impressed.

Some people are just miserable and just want to bring others down to their level to feel better about themselves

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@SW-User I never feel good about hurting others.

It easy for people to be “brave” and bowed up hiding behind a keyboard.

My take on them is that they are actually afraid of their shadow. They come here with a “I’ll show them” attitude because they don’t have the courage to stand up for themselves in the real world.

I feel sorry for them really. How sad to live in fear and with such an ugly heart.

@Pinkstarburst love you, my friend. 🖤

Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F

@JustGoneNow Love you back beauty!

Jeephikelove · 51-55, F

I don’t get it either, I ignore, mute and block so many people.

Mamapolo2016 · F

It's a mystery. I can't understand the benefit.

bijouxbroussard · F

Yes. I’ve noticed that.
For example, when people post something positive, like a photo of a craft or a meal, something they worked on, and another person comes in just to make a crappy comment. What did that soul gain, other than letting everyone know they’re jerks ? Good job. 🙄

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@bijouxbroussard Exactly. Just why? I wonder if it's jealously?

They have mental disorder.
Just ignore such people.

@MeowsoliniReturns I’m just a lost girl that somebody decided to love and tries to spread a little love, light, and care around.

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@JustGoneNow To me, that IS beautiful.

cowards are too afraid to act like that real life

bijouxbroussard · F

@tindrummer Yes. "Keyboard Warriors". Very brave with no risk of a punch in the nose. 🤨

They have gaps in their lives and seek to fill them with false bravdo and self seeking power. Unfortunately the filling is short lived and breaksdown. When it does it makes the gap wider so next time it takes more to fill..

Worse are the ones that pretend to be nice people unless they deem you to be beneath them

Cosmicmicrowave · 18-21, M

@SW-User I try to be nice it is the fact I have so much rage inside of me

SW-User

@Cosmicmicrowave I can relate, I have rage issues and lash out too

SmileOnYourBrother

Sometimes they are just being honest or observant and it is perceived as mean.

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@SmileOnYourBrother I can tell the difference

Cosmicmicrowave · 18-21, M

some people feel pleasure in doing it

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@Cosmicmicrowave How odd

Cosmicmicrowave · 18-21, M

@MeowsoliniReturns yeah

MoonlightLullaby

I've noticed that with quite a few & it's sad.🖤

HannahSky · F

True, some people are not here for anything good

SmileOnYourBrother

I would not know. 🙂

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@SmileOnYourBrother Good!

I think some people want to be mean to get out their stress. Or maybe they are just mean-asses in real life.

@MeowsoliniReturns I was on a chat site one time and first thing this girl starts calling me so many curse words. I replied “You can make more friends if you talk nice to people.” She started apologizing profusely. Poured her heart out. Her family had moved to a different city and she lost all of her old friends from her home city and felt lost at her school. Was having a difficult time adjusting. Then found out her grandmother was diagnosed with cancer and was dying. I talked gently to her for about a half hour and then told her about my childhood…how many times my family moved due to my father being mental and jerking us back and forth. Went to 6 different elementary schools before moving to a place where we stayed till I was grown. And 4 close relatives dying within a year and a half from the time I was 12-13 years old. She kept apologizing for cursing me but I just wanted her to know that others also suffer, we aren’t alone and that we should show compassion for others.

MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F

@cherokeepatti You are so sweet!!

cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

@MeowsoliniReturns I’m glad I answered her curses the way I did. It would have been much different had I started cussing her back wouldn’t it? What I said about making friends touched her right in her heart.
