Wow! Blocked for Explaining Human Behavior

I think this is the first time in my 6-years on SW that I’m actually shocked that I was blocked. I wasn’t offensive. I just said that if you are going to post a selfie that some people may comment negatively, and if that will hurt you then perhaps you should reconsider posting because there will always be judgmental people. I also said it was unkind to downvote a selfie, and if you didn’t like someone’s selfie, it was kinder to say nothing.

Some people are extremely touchy, it seems. 😳 There are too many sensitive Woke souls on this site.

That would be surprising for me too. You were only pointing out what they should be aware of. Maybe they took your “tone” the negative way.

They can’t always please everybody or expect a compliment each time. People should just ignore when they don’t have anything nice to say. But they don’t do that. They’d rather be mean. And people get hurt. Sigh.

I agree. It would be a perfect world if everyone was kind to each other, but that’s not reality, whether we like it or not. In the real world, if you are going to put yourself out there, most people will receive mixed reviews unless you are so good looking, they are all positive, or you get lucky and only have kind people respond. If you are a sensitive soul that can’t take negative comments without being deeply hurt, then maybe the best thing is not to post. The choice is up to the poster. @CookieCrumbs

@Carissimi
Some people are unkind.
So the choice is on the poster — to take a chance in being the target of mean people.

Unfortunately. Life is about risks, and we are all vulnerable to criticism. @CookieCrumbs
