You don't have to appease abusive members here

Something I see here that makes me wonder is people caring what jerks think of them and trying to appease those jerks.
Thinking this will stop them from acting badly toward them,it won't.

I don't owe strangers on the internet anything.
And that is what they'll get from me when they try to reduce my boundaries to rubble.

I don't relent just because they're angry, sad,or troubled.
Who isn't these things at times?

I get angry, sad,and troubled,but I don't demand to be heard,don't use my troubled state to break down your boundaries so I can use you for my own entertainment, and don't abuse people here.

I expect the same rational behavior I give to others internet or real life.

Thankfully ,thier are others,here who treat people like fellow human beings and not as things to be used.

Well said

I’ve learned that their words have no relevance. For one, they don’t know me and use a keyboard to feel superior. Also, for all they know, they could meet me on the street and think fondly of me…never knowing I was the one they tried to demean and insult here.

@Pinkstarburst people do tend to be more bold on the internet
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
@Justmeraeagain Absolutely.

I agree, I also hate when I see people hero worship people on here who are blatantly nasty to others they deem beneath themselves. There’s just no need
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User Nobody here is better than anybody else. This is a anonymous social site. What real merit is there if you're popular here?
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain I agree completely, I just don’t understand it.

@SW-User agreed

There is definitely a bully mentality on here. I find it laughable since most bullies are insecure little twerps. What I find disgusting is their little side kicks who jump onto the pig pile.

@whiskeyinateacup I have never been a fan of call out posts
whiskeyinateacup · 31-35, F
@Justmeraeagain Call out posts say more about the poster than the individual being called out. It's lame, immature and entirely nonproductive. Not to mention really uncomfortable for everyone else involved.

There are some really sick sad people in this world. All we can do is pray for them and move on
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Miklee02 we can and should,but never entertain them in thier perversions or abuse toward us, boundaries are always a good idea.
Miklee02 · 51-55, F
@Justmeraeagain I do agree with that Rae 💯 %
Merry Christmas sweet lady! 🎄❤️🎄

@Miklee02 Merry Christmas

There is a plus side to having these kinds of people around. Everyone, sooner or later, has something to offer.
They are a great source of entertainment.
The ones that are the first to hurl an insult or try to belittle another publicly are usually the weakest link in the chain that binds crazy.
Maybe I am just as bad as them, but I can't help but play a bit with them. They get so angry. LOL.
Life is what you make it and I will always choose fun. :-)
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Dainbramadge I don't find fun in tormenting people.
I find great relief in not taking their nonsense.
TexChik · F
Yep! Don’t take any crap ! 😉
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@TexChik I don't

No one deserves that power over anyone
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User I keep my boundaries high anymore,the little bit attention you might get from these creeps is not worth it.
Their appetite is not quenchable and you never can give them enough.
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain absolutely true
pattycakechamp · 26-30, F
Yep. Abusive, the buzzkills, the "I'm superior to you" types. They aren't worth your time or effort.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@pattycakechamp some of them do start out friendly but then they start demanding and they never quit
pattycakechamp · 26-30, F
@Justmeraeagain My favorite are the the ones that want to teach you why they are better and that you should only do what they want.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
[@pattycakech kind of useless because how can you do that?
Peaches · F
It's hard not to react when you're being mistreated.😔Time for another long break. Sometimes being alone is a good thing.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Peaches it's hard to react for me ,because I know what it's going to bring. For me it is easier to ignore, block , report,or as you say take a break.
Mistreatment is never okay.
FoolishLuna · 56-60, F
I am grateful for the block/mute and age cutoffs settings on here. Sorry this I happening to you.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@FoolishLuna It's more of a observance at this point.
I don't take a lot of nonsense anymore.
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
It's why I have over 960 people blocked at this point.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@thepreposterouspanda Thats a lot, lol
thepreposterouspanda · 36-40, M
@Justmeraeagain Yup! 😅
DrWatson · 70-79, M
I think you just articulated what a lot of people need to hear.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@DrWatson You got to stand up for yourself sometimes
Peaches · F
@Justmeraeagain That's RIGHT...no matter WHO it p!sses off.
SW-User
True. I mean, can't a man just look for marriage on SW without being judged for it...🙄
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User He can do as he wishes with those who want his attentions,not all want them.
Egg01 · 56-60, F
Well said ☺️
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Egg01 Thanks
All social media is just a cross-section of our world. Pointless classifying it. It is our acts, words and thoughts that matter.
SW-User
To be honest I haven't seen much appeasement going on
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@SW-User I hope that is true, and if it's only one or two people trying to reason with some creep instead of telling them to get lost then is one too many in my opinion.
SW-User
@Justmeraeagain Absolutely. It never ends well.
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
This is very true. Thanks for saying it.

@SW-User I do think people should make their boundaries known. A few years ago people would use their common sense and not approach, but that era seems to be gone forever.
