    1. It's a site for calorie counting. Not support. Too many people think support means "tell me everything I do is right."

    2. If only one person was negative you're lucky. Ignore them. Not everyone in life is nice.

    But I've got a feeling you just took my frank and honest advice as more rudeness anyway so...

    This. I actually went into your thread.....(expecting it to be about shakeology/BBV/cleanses/paleo/atkins/etc) and was pleasantly surprised when it was not........Then I read through every response. I did not see any rude ones? Perhaps you are being slightly over-sensitive.

    Its possible that i would be a little sensitive. Im just having a rough time and am feeling discouraged and didnt expect a response i got. but like i said, and some other epople have said...i just need to get over it, ignore them and focus on the positve :)

    WHY does MFP have to be any different than the real world? I DON'T get the "whhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa I'm not getting support" threads.
    Generally if you want support, leave it to your page. Your friends are generally happier to answer a question others feel that they have answered a million times.

    I didn't see anyone being rude.

    ^^ This

    I see *WAY* more unfounded complaining. I don't see rudeness except once in a blue moon, and when it happens, people always call them out and probably report them.

    This. MFP is an extension of the real world. Do you really expect everyone in the real world to be nice and supportive of you and your goals?

    Actually i didnt. I think you are right. life is not full of rainbows and butterflys, and i get it! i really do!

    :noway:


    Sorry. I just get shocked when people actually listen instead of getting hurt and reporting me. Good on you!

    Now go make some more of that mac 'n cheese and shrug the rest off.

    Not agreeing with everything you say does not equal being rude. Pull on your big girl pants and toughen up. People will give you advice, knowledgeable people who have reached their goals - it will frequently not be what you WANT to hear but what you NEED to hear.

    Wow. The OP actually came back and said, "Hm good point, not everyone talks exactly the way I think they should" [sic]


    That never happens. Flower for you, OP :flowerforyou:

    My opinion, which is worth about 1 1/2 cents, is that the people who post the most in the forums have been around a while, and after seeing the same topics over and over tend to get a little bit...zealous in their approach to responding.

    But most of them also know their shiz and aren't being rude, just direct.

    It's hard sometimes negotiating these forums, but OP you sound like you are open minded and I hope the very best for you!

    Imagine a world where everyone regards constructive criticism as just that. Makes me wanna have a coke and smile.

    The "Spongebob mac n cheese" comment was snarky and the poster gave no real advice. I'll grant you that. But, don't expect to get advice on here without some people being sarcastic or snarky.

    Glad to see you're handling comments here so well!

    Ok I gotta be honest....the OP's willingness to see that all things on the internet can be interpreted in many ways is giving me major ladywood.

    :flowerforyou:

    OP-I understand you are discouraged but hell, this process is freakin hard and it's bound to happen. Rejoice the losses you have made, prepare to accept the gains you may have, and learn new ways for dealing with the hardships. I have a feeling you will be very successful.
