Is there something commonly said on SW that really gets on your nerves?

What is it?

When people say 'they'll be back on another account or back tomorrow or even spread unsubstantiated rumours that someone is hiding in another account - no bich, not everyone is playing those games. Some people genuinely leave, even if they come back months/years later.
SW-User
Post a selfie! - Three fecking times a day.
Same expressions, same faces. Like they haven't moved from the last one, stuck in that position.
SW-User
@MoonlightLullaby Total with you there. Sincere compliments are where it's at, and exclusive to the person, not just a canned response that gets used and thrown at almost anyone.

Sound like you've been doing some growing. Kudos to you! 🥂
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User Indeed I have. It's been a year plus of growth for me, and I plan on continuing it. I've done so much dirty soul work and I'm all the more better for it. Thank you and cheers back.🥂💖
SW-User
@SW-User then complain about when a creep does creepy stuff with one of the HUNDRED selfies, when it is WELL KNOWN that SW is FULL of creeps

Then complain when that gets pointed out, "why must I live in a world where I can't post 100 a selfies a day without creeps being creepy, why oh why 😭😭😭?" and start falsely equating it to [i]offline[/i] things like [i]actual[/i] sexual assault

You wanted attention, and you got it, congrats, here's your cookie

Social media is just a vanity/narcissism/constant validation chamber for many people

I could write a book.
The accusations and bad mouthing sickens me.
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
@Magenta It's good to see you too🤗 and they are in a lot of ways. The job has it's sticking points at times, but that's all jobs. Overall I feel like it's going well and the consistency has done my mental health wonders, instead of constantly worrying about where my business was going to wind up in this economy. I've been able to scale back.
Magenta · F
@SW-User Enablers, ugh. Immaturity loves to jump on the bandwagon.
Magenta · F
@ravenwind43 Ah wonderful. Hope it contnues as such.💕

SW-User
@Nimbus And then you see the same old dicks hanging out.😂
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Nimbus Look at me me me!!!
if 99.9 percent of your posts are political (either side) you get on my damn nerves. We get it. i just wonder what else you give a shit about....... family, music, sports, art, movies....... what else is up there in your brain. LOL
SW-User
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy I was thinking the same way about the sex posts the other day. Yeah sex is important but show me what else is... yaknow? 😂
@SW-User i dont mind the posts every now and then, but, if thats all ya talkin about, then it gets creepy.
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
I've fallen prey to allegations similar to what you're speaking of and it irks me when people do that. I permanently deleted my first account because I ultimately planned on staying away. I did for 6 months and returned with this one. To this day, people still spread gossip and lies that I was trying to hide or pretend to be someone else. My personality can't be guised and I told everyone. Then they throw in the fact that I change names and pfp's as if it matters. I just get bored, but I tend to over share a lot of personal details so I'm apparently not doing a good job at hiding.😏 Like you said, people do actually come back, and these people are so ridiculous I tend to laugh about it and other rumors that have been spread.🤭
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User Thanks for the kindness and understanding.

[quote]So many seem stuck and can't be open to it enough to progress.[/quote]

I use every negative experience to create a positive one, and I refuse to be stagnant.

As for the latter response, I'm pretty honest to a fault. Not only with others but with myself. I have no problems announcing/owning my wrongs. I think that's pretty pertinent in life and especially social media where people tend to twist your words and never allow you to live anything down. It's pretty toxic that way.
SW-User
@MoonlightLullaby You're welcome.
I'm not always the best at expressing just what I feel, but I hear you loud and clear. And yeah, it is way too toxic that way. *hugs* 💞
MoonlightLullaby · 41-45, F
@SW-User Your response was stated perfectly..All of them. As I told you once before, you're one of a select few that has never made me doubt your sincerity. 🌷
OhIsMe · 36-40, M
Eh I can block people for the serious offences. The one gripe I have is probably commonly shared. The "I'm leaving" posts. Especially the ones blaming the site for being boring. Just leave! If we're that boring why are you informing us??
SW-User
@OhIsMe Lol those are funny, yeah.
OnePatheticClown · 51-55, M
People in this place have a penchant for throwing random accusations...guess that's what brings excitement ro their lives...oh what fulfilling lives they must be leading...
SW-User
@OnePatheticClown And then they complain how this place is going down. They are part of the problem with that behaviour.

[quote]Kill all men[/quote]
Less common than it used to be though.
Classified · M
@SW-User It were only a few and I don't think they were serious, but I still didn't like it. 😅

I've become more understanding towards some hatred towards men, because some people suffered seriously at the hands of men in their lives. That allows me to say to myself that a negative remark about men in general (normally not involving killing) is actually not about me personally.
SW-User
@Classified generalisations though are never okay.
Classified · M
@SW-User I think so too, but if I can look at the person behind it, then that's good, I think.
alan20 · M
I agree very much and I'm being serious. Everyone who takes the trouble to contribute deserves to be taken at face value. If they take the opposite view a minute later that's their right. If they are writing a fantasy they are still expressing something about themselves.
alan20 · M
@SW-User You tell me yours and....
SW-User
@alan20 I've had many nice things said to me over the life I have lived, and many not so nice. Right now I am unable to recall it specifically. I feel content in the moment though, right now, right here. That is me being nice to myself, lol.
alan20 · M
@SW-User Sometimes you take the wind out of my sails by appearing to be serious. I once got more than I bargained for by saying to a former girlfriend about her then current husband - "I suppose he's big?". "Enormous". I expect I asked for that.
SW-User
I used to get annoyed with the whole sw crush thing. The questions about that
SW-User
@SW-User Oh yeah. Those were cringe. 😂
SW-User
@SW-User and so repetitive
Pretzel · 61-69, M
"so and so blocked me"
but I can't say it makes me cringe - just a little "wah wah"
This message was deleted by its author.
SW-User
@Pretzel LOL I find those so hilarious and cringy at the same time. I can even switch off Netflix for a while for that. 😂
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Pretzel I never usually know
SW-User
I really hate that. You can do as you please. No one here should get their nose in others business. I was accused of having like 100 active accounts when all I did was delete my account when I got harassed. I would come back when I felt better. Why would I need a million accounts? IRONICALLY, my bullies brag about spying on me with their ALT accounts! Hypocrites !
SW-User
@SW-User lol yeah there is that too @people spying.
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
Nothing specific. When a touch of that is felt due to posts deliberately instigating drama or political posts with too passionately conveyed opinions, I just X the page out. There’s too many annoyances outside of here to give a place like this the power to try to add to them.
SW-User
@PerfectionOfTheHeart Agree. I do that almost all of the time. Sometimes though, it won't stay in.
PerfectionOfTheHeart · 46-50, F
@SW-User That’s understandable. Limits can be tested more often than we’d like.
Teslin · M
I only dislike when other people insert themselves into a conversation and try to interpret what you said. If the person I am conversing with has a question, let them ask.
Stay out of my conversation and start your own !!!
SW-User
@Teslin Agree. Or someone going all rampant on someone elses post with their interjections. Like ask your own qn if you have that much to say. 🙃
Teslin · M
Yes, exactly @SW-User Thank you 😊
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Teslin Exactly.
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
To long of a list lol.
That being said, I handle the annoyances by simply not being here that much over the past several years. Small doses works best for with no alt account.
SW-User
@ravenwind43 I've been taking very long breaks too and yeah it works for me too. Sometimes though, it's just the blatant closed mindedness of people over the simplest of things that irritate.
ravenwind43 · 51-55, F
@SW-User I absolutely get that and it is nice to see you again:)
SW-User
@ravenwind43 Likewise. Warms me up a bit seeing old names and faces again.
List is too long, however, drama, self victimization/poor me top the list.
SW-User
@aaaabbbb Lol some of it gets old.
@SW-User It sure does, however, SW seems to the supper magnet or power of those.
btchstfu · F
i never seen u get angry. its kinda....hot
SW-User
@btchstfu Babe, this ain't anger. This is just low key annoyance. 😂
btchstfu · F
@TJNewton the only thing i need in life is money so idk what the hell are u talking about
eMortal · M
@btchstfu I know!!! 😂
kodiac · 22-25, M
What do you think of so and so and would you do them.I like the poster but c'mon man lol
SW-User
@kodiac Lol, he has been very persistent over the years. Hats off to just that.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
I take breaks and go off for a time... I may have one other account,but I can't get back into it ... Not because I am hiding, but because I am old and forgot password to other account
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain Ah when I joined initially on EP, some crazy woman got in her head I was someone else and she had a lot of sway in how people attacked me. Some really 'good' members got in my inbox with attacks. So I am all too familiar with these behaviours and all it takes is one mad person and their pull on the herd members.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User
EP ...we cut our teeth there!
Sorry ,that happened.
It was Relate to That for me, luckily thier private messages were so sucky it didn't last long.
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain That's alright. It taught me a lot very quickly. If it weren't for friends who chose to have faith in me, that I got through that.
I went to relate to that for a couple of days. It felt too restrictive and I didn't last. Sorry you had that too.
bookerdana · M
Just so....although some say it as an in joke its more often said maliciously...Man here we have one of the greatest amount of information access but we act like small town rubes.😐
bookerdana · M
@SW-User I was sleeping, gently napping, when I heard the phone
Who is on the other end talking, am I even home?
Did you see what she did to him, did you hear what they said?
Just a New York conversation rattling in my head
Ooh my, and what shall we wear, ooh my, and who really cares?
Just a New York conversation, gossip all of the time
"Did you hear who did what to whom?", happens all the time
Who has touched and who has dabbled, here in the city of shows
Openings, closings, bad rap party, everybody knows
Ooh, how sad and why do we call, ooh I'm glad to hear from you all
I am calling, yes I'm calling just to speak to you
For I know this night will kill me, if I can't be with you
If I can't be with you
SW-User
@bookerdana As usual, nice lyrics.
bookerdana · M
@SW-User Lou Reed....There are people here really needing aa boost who post here and othsers who post lots of things trying to keep this sorry site afloat,i respect that but this constant nattering about others and juvenile attitude toward sexuality can get a body down
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
Crying GF although haven't seen in awhile
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
There are people I wouldn't say that about but then there are those I nearly expect to. Especially if they have done that in past. It is happening so it doesn't surprise me people say that kind of thing.
SW-User
@CrazyMusicLover Some people do play head games. But to say it across the board for every person leaving is just silly. Some people leave with heavy hearts or hurt or whatever else they might be going through and it's really insensitive for someone to hop on in there with their assumptions. Which they can keep to themselves too if they think it.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@SW-User That's true.
Unlearn · 41-45, M
I have told few people on here "see you tomorrow" when they post about leaving SW. It's said in jest...
Unlearn · 41-45, M
@SW-User Who are those people!? Why not give them a wide berth!? You know better than to argue with silly people over even sillier things. Aww thanks 😀
SW-User
@Unlearn I don't remember. I saw it the first time I came back which was a long time ago and when I came back again a couple of months ago. Yep I give them a wide berth.
But even otherwise, I have seen people shoot off about other people, and it just seems wrong.
Unlearn · 41-45, M
@SW-User There is a saying in Hindi...it loosely translates to, there will be as many opinions as their are mouths. Ignore them.
SW-User
Not really, I just move on, or block 🤣
SW-User
@SW-User It's the same with me, always unplanned sometimes mid sentence.
SW-User
@SW-User I always complete my sentences. Sometimes I even take the time for a full stop. 😂
SW-User
@SW-User Full stops are important. I quite often forget to finish sentences when I'm writing, or miss words out.
meJess · F
Just the closed questions and the opinions that are stated as facts
meJess · F
@SW-User there are some fairly committed opinions here 😊
SW-User
@meJess I tend to avoid those topics which have such committed and passionate opinions.
meJess · F
@SW-User it is unwise to engage
Some do genuinely leave but of the ones that feel they must inform everyone, most can’t stay away for 48 hours
SW-User
@BeefySenpie The first time I left, I slipped away and was accused of ghosting people. The second time I left, I had a goodbye note so people would be aware of my intention. Both times I stayed away, years and months.
When I returned though, I read a few rumours about me, lol.
So whenever I see someone say the same kind of thing about someone else... it just feels like parroting mindlessly. They expect that to be the norm so paint everyone with it.
Glassysky · 22-25, M
Usually I get on other peoples nerves 😂

You're an exception though
SW-User
@Glassysky Are you saying I have a high tolerance? Lol
Glassysky · 22-25, M
@SW-User Not quite haha
SW-User
@Glassysky then? 😂
BeJeweled · F
Just the normal everyday whining about the same shit.
SW-User
@BeJeweled LOL it's a daily task, like eating food, stealing energy with victim attitude, etc.
BeJeweled · F
@SW-User You got that right!
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
I hate the posts where people pick on other users. I have made comments on posts like this and I am not proud of that. I feel terrible that I have taken part in a few and it doesn’t matter what these members have done, j shouldn’t have.

I don’t like them though. I have been trashed on posts like these and it’s not a nice feeling.

I understand people don’t like selfie posts here but they sure don’t have a problem with making fun of the users that choose to participate in them.

This place can be wonderful and supportive but it can also be so toxic and reading through the comments that’s very apparent,
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User Yah it is but I also like to thank people for good things just to remind them. Don’t worry I have been called disingenuous for doing this.

I think the world could always use more good things so that’s why I try to put that out there. If you hate me for that then I guess it is what it is but I know a kind thought has made me feel better at times.
SW-User
@iamonfire696 People will always put us down for something or the other. They will always try to dim your light. Fret not, and keep shining as you are.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@SW-User Thank you and you keep shining as well
SW-User
I came back months later.
SW-User
@SW-User When I go, me too. Sometimes weeks but often months or years.
SW-User
@SW-User I think I was gone for like 2 years. Then came back for a few months. And left again. I do use new accounts each time because I have poor will control and will just come back if I have an active account.
SW-User
@SW-User same. If I know I want to keep away long term, I will delete completely.

Honestly only when people belittle religious people's faith with no better reason than malice.

Agreed with you, i left for real, came back one year later and all of a sudden i get called a fraud 🤣 It's not like i said I would be gone forever 👀
SW-User
@MartinTheFirst People need to have something to talk about I suppose.
MartinTheFirst · 22-25, M
A lesser irritation is the clickbait nudity which got old pretty quickly as well👀 Yes we know.. its gonna be a facking bird or cat.. 🤣
SW-User
@MartinTheFirst Lol yeah that got old a long time ago and some people didn't get the memo.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
Yes. Do you have like 5 hours. 😂
SW-User
@Zonuss you can type it all up and I will catch it in 5 hours. 😂
I tried to mute the groups on religion (all of them). I don’t seek them out, and wish that some theists would stay out the "atheist” groups looking to pick fights about issues that will never be resolved.
SW-User
@bijouxbroussard agree. Something like religion is such a personal thing and I believe it should be celebrated as such.
It bugs me when people post adult content without marking the posts "adult" so they don’t end up in the feeds of minors (who are here) or even those with settings on "non-adult". It’s inconsiderate, to say the least.
