MFP bullies

kurbikoff

I've been seeing a lot of people coming in to posts and tearing apart the OP and I cant understand why. If you have a differing opinion on what beauty or fitness is, that is great and you can express yourself all you want. But don't get angry or rude if the person doesn't agree! Body image is a sensitive topic for a lot of people and there's no need to hurt anyone. Kindness is easy. Taking digs at a person i'snt doing anything but making you look despicable. This website was designed to provide support in your journey. Not torment.

I don't think it takes long before you discover that there are a lot of polarized opinions on this site.
And about 90% of people have ZERO sense of humor.
So, that being said, if I had a topic I felt particularly sensitive about random feedback on, a smart person probably wouldn't post it.
Whatever you do or say, there is someone who is going to rip you up like you just got tossed into the shark tank.

I thought about tacos for lunch, but changed my mind. Now I wish I had just went for it.

The world is full of people who need to prove something. And taco lovers, it is full of taco lovers apparently.

They probably are.

OP, if comments in your thread upset you, perhaps the solution would be to leave the general forums for a bit, instead focus on the 'Groups' or 'Friends' aspects of the Community section, and maybe come back and lurk, without posting, for a bit later to get used to the manner in which people comment on things. Not saying that people haven't been rude to you - maybe they have - but at the end of the day, it's just an internet forum. Growing a thick skin about these things would probably be very helpful in your personal self-improvement journey. I know that has been a huge help to me in recent years. I used to be very sensitive and would dwell on things for days. Now I just close the tab if necessary and can carry on my day.

I thought this website was designed to track calorie consumption and fitness.

ladynocturne - I agree! I don't think the OP actually knows the definition of "bully". Very, very rarely have I seen a reply that even closely resembles mean - and I've read about a bajillion topics here. (see start date and post count)

Wow! There are MFP Bullies? My mother always told me that if you should never ever allow someone to have power over your emotions, otherwise they win.

THIS. I see the OP just joined in September. This reply will probably be of help to her (unless she is gone already). I know cause I got there by growing that tough skin, and stopped thinking about things for days. I pick my posts carefully, since I enjoy making comments.

ok maybe not the correct term. Bully is a bit strong. But if you look through this thread itself nearly everyone is making fun and being rude. Am I wrong?

If someone is insulting, then report them to the powers that be here.

if someone is telling the truth, but their delivery is not as sensitive as you woudl liek it, then listen to what they have to say.

pick one of the above depending on the situation.
