Where the person said they had posted a comment about how lovely the scenery of a grassy meadow looked and how many people commented about their allergies. That the comments about allergies ruined the peace of the grassy scenery and why do people feel compelled to post these things instead of letting people just enjoy a moment without some kind of suffering.
It was obviously more succinct than that, but that was the jist.
I think of that meme often.
Why do people bring up the negatives of something someone else enjoys? Why ruin that? No one asked what your issues are with it. They asked you to enjoy it with them. If you can't, don't comment and move on. The need to crap all over someone else's joy is weird to me.
People are overly sensitive. I don't know why should it spoil my mood if someone mentions their allergy. It's their problem, not mine. If I'd post about loving fog and people start writing that they hate drving in it and that there is a higher number of road accident because of fog, I'm not going to lose my sleep over it.
@CrazyMusicLover I mean, I'm not either. My point was why do people feel a need to make those comments in the first place? What compels them to tell people their problems? They were asked to enjoy the moment with the OP, not think of all the negatives. So, why do they?
Just a thoughtful post on my part wondering why people do the things they do.
@FoxyGoddess I think it's just an impulse thing based on some emotion. They write whatever comes to their mind just because the post is there. It's the first thing that crossed their mind and they are bored enough to post it. Personally, I'd be more annoyed if I posted about being annoyed with something and people would come forward to talk about rainbow and sunshine and how I need to think positively. But that's me.
If we all enjoyed the same things I think it would be boring. Part of living is to see things through others eyes. It may not be pleasing nor is it meant to be. I’m not going to comment my displeasure to ruin other’s enjoyment.
Too many people join a chat about topic x and bring their personal S*** into it and try (and too often succeed) to divert the chat away from topic x and onto their personal agenda!
Why!
So selfish!
So disrespectful!
In the same way as there is a "block" facility to stop people contacting you, the person starting the chat should be able to "delete" those selfish diversionary people, so the chat stays on the topic they started!
Some people like to offer constructive criticism, I suppose that can be seen as a negative reaction but thanks for alerting me to this common human trait.
The curse of social media, even wonderful, beautiful, sweet things ... if someone has a negative thought or thinks it would be "funny" to rile people up by posting a negative thought, they do.
@Pherick I tend to think, people comment the first thoughts in their heads, thinking they are making a relevant statement that the OP needs to hear. But it reads as..."Okay, so...don't like the thing and move on. Why announce your personal issue? No one cares as much as you do about it."
