Personal Attacks?

stumblinthrulife

The people who say that are so emotionally fragile it borders on a mental disorder. They have a carefully constructed world view and the slightest thing that doesn't fit in it causes them anguish and fear.

Recently someone told me that if I told them to stop talking during a movie they would see that as a personal attack. That's because secretly, when the whole world scares you, everything is an attack.

This is so very true.

We rescued a dog once... and every time my dad would pull out the broom to sweep the floor, the dog would cower under the table and whimper or growl...sometimes both.

Was my dad going to hurt the dog? No. Was the dog terrified and reacting to his fear. Hell yes.
Did my dad keep sweeping the floor? Yes.
Did the dog become his best friend and stop cowering? Yes

It just took some time for the dog to heal.


Not that it should stop people from being honest, or helpful, but it does sometimes give perspective to try and see the world through someone else's eyes.

Oh my God, did you just call me a dog? I can't believe how mean the people on this site are!

The heart of the matter is that (many) weight loss/health issues are inherently emotional issues. Experts don't always agree on the 'facts' of weight loss. (How many different magic fad diets are written by supposed experts/doctors?) We're applying the rules of science to the very emotional issues of eating disorders/ emotional overeating / you name your particular brand of pain.

Yes, there is a lot of misinformation among the members of mfp, and those who feel they are 'in the know' feel obliged to correct (and in some cases belittle) that misinformation. The motives here overall are folks wanting to help others. Then there are those with personal agendas who try to apply their feelings about certain subjects to everyone else. (Diet soda, 'clean eating', etc) Those are the ones that really make me angry. ("Don't EVER eat Lean Cuisine! That stuff is crap in a box!" "Diet soda will kill you dead and turn your toes green and make children in Africa explode!") Well, whatever. If I eat a Lean Cuisine for lunch tomorrow (I actually think I have one in the freezer!) and wash it down with a GIANT Diet Pepsi, I'm still going to lose my 2 pounds this week. That's why I'm here. And if you eat a completely clean lunch and wash it down with water with an organic lime slice, you'll lose your 2 pounds this week too. That's why you're here. It's got to be okay that we do it differently.

And if you eat a completely clean lunch and wash it down with water with an organic lime slice, you'll lose your 2 pounds this week too. That's why you're here. It's got to be okay that we do it differently.

The heart of the matter is that (many) weight loss/health issues are inherently emotional issues. Experts don't always agree on the 'facts' of weight loss. (How many different magic fad diets are written by supposed experts/doctors?) We're applying the rules of science to the very emotional issues of eating disorders/ emotional overeating / you name your particular brand of pain.

Yes, there is a lot of misinformation among the members of mfp, and those who feel they are 'in the know' feel obliged to correct (and in some cases belittle) that misinformation. The motives here overall are folks wanting to help others. Then there are those with personal agendas who try to apply their feelings about certain subjects to everyone else. (Diet soda, 'clean eating', etc) Those are the ones that really make me angry. ("Don't EVER eat Lean Cuisine! That stuff is crap in a box!" "Diet soda will kill you dead and turn your toes green and make children in Africa explode!") Well, whatever. If I eat a Lean Cuisine for lunch tomorrow (I actually think I have one in the freezer!) and wash it down with a GIANT Diet Pepsi, I'm still going to lose my 2 pounds this week. That's why I'm here. And if you eat a completely clean lunch and wash it down with water with an organic lime slice, you'll lose your 2 pounds this week too. That's why you're here. It's got to be okay that we do it differently.

That's about what I wanted to say as well.

I've had situations when I've encountered people who are just rude. I ate at McDonalds, and I had a friend who messaged me to say "McDonalds? Seriously? How are you losing weight at all? I don't think you're even trying anymore. If you were, you wouldn't eat McDonalds." That was too personal, and yeah, I unfriended her. But I'm not bothered by criticism.

If there's one thing MFP is good at, it's attracting emotionally fragile people with zero self-esteem.

I can't believe you'd say that about me!

Oh, wait.

you all should go check out the 'Gluten.Dairy.Sugar.' thread. There's so much butthurt going on over there, it's sad.

Phoenix_Warrior

If there's one thing MFP is good at, it's attracting emotionally fragile people with zero self-esteem.

I can't believe you'd say that about me!

Oh, wait.

Clearly, it's about me. It had the word "attract" in it.

"You have to imagine the person who is taking the time to spend their days (and think of that great quote "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives," by Annie Dillard) spewing bile anonymously at other people -- rather than creating something of their own they actually believe in -- has got to be a pretty unhappy person.

Or if not unhappy then at a point in their lives where their happiness is actually only derived via the misery of others. Which, to me, spells sickness and suffering in spades.

Having empathy for the bile-spewer is such a more pleasant action than having rage or getting involved in some kind of who-can-be-crappier-to-one-another match. Just have empathy, yo. In all likelihood, however hard some anonymous person is trying to make you feel crap is exactly how much they are feeling crap themselves."

I am glad you have taken the time for introspection... happy to see there will be less bile from you.

There's something I want to say.....pertaining to you being "highly sensitive" but I can think of no way to say it that is appropriate and/or will avoid me receiving a strike.
