Why are people being so nasty to me already? I'm new here?

I said this, "Hello. I am new to this website. What can I expect from this website? I am a nice lady and I kind of expect everyone here to be nice, sweet and kindhearted."
Some laughed and some said, "Suuure" and some said, "Heck no lady" and "Yeah right" what's so funny about that. That wasn't the kind of welcome I was expecting.
Only three were nice to me.

It's not unnice nor nasty. They are trying to tell you to be careful since there is much rudeness and harassment here.

@Miram It is rude to me. They didn't have to be so sarcastic and rude about it.

@NotValid They are being sarcastic about how lot here are regular harassers. They're not being sarcastic about you so not sure why you'd be offended. You might need to be little bit open minded or you'll start victimizing other members who mean no harm to you by falling for the belief that you're their victim.

In fact this is exactly what this sort of posts do, other members joining in to bash harmless behaviour unaware of the details. It creates an overall atmosphere of negativity.

@Miram I don't care. They really hurt my feelings when they laughed at me.

@NotValid They weren't laughing at you. 🙄

@Miram Some were. It was very rude.
