Why are people on here angry?

You get a lot of people on here that are elitist jerks. They use broscience and the fact that something worked for them and mush it in your face when you disagree with them. Then they troll your post so they can be "important" because arguing and get the last post in a thread on the internet makes you a smart guy. All because some people lost some weight and read a bunch of articles doesn't make them an expert. But for some people, this is their facebook and they choose to be *kitten* about it and live on the forums. Honestly, if you have a question ask your friends in your feed first before you go the forums because MFP has had a recent recruitment of smart a$$e$ lately.

Yeah, seems like it. Problem here was I was asking for new friends. I guess they didn't like how I asked, and I can see how I didn't come across well (hindsight and all that ). But still, some of what they're saying...yeesh. I want to stop looking but it's a train wreck there!

They didn't have a Snickers bar lol.

But no really, they have their own opinions that they think it's right.

Great. Now, I want a Snickers. Thanks for that.
I do have a Snickers Ice Cream Bar in the freezer. Hmmm...

Cowards behind Keyboards, they would NEVER say any of the stuff they post in public

People who post to these forums can be VERY brutal - I've learned that the hard way! :sad:

I posted something about an hour ago, and it seems quite a few forum readers did not appreciate what I said. But one of the responses was "Go **** yourself with a cactus". That just seemed unnecessary and what I said shouldn't have garnered anyone saying that. Nothing near that.

I've seen other people who post in the forums get beat up and it makes me wonder why people on here are so angry? I thought we were here to help each other out, not tear each other down.

Well, if someone actually said that to you, you always have the option to report it. Shrug... It's the internet. People aren't nice.

Because they're hungry.

Haha! I was going to say the same thing!

Hangry...



Also, in for the pages and pages of gifs and memes that abound on the "mean people" threads.

I have never had that experience, sorry that you have. I do most of my posting in my group Truly Committed Boot Camp, so I guess I don't put myself out there enough to get negative feedback. I agree that if you don't have something constructive to say then don't say anything.

Looks like it's someone's lucky day.

Well said.

Don't feel like you actually have to go fck yourself with a cactus. You don't have to fck yourself at all. Or you can use something a little less...brutal.

They need a snickers bar.

And now so do I.

Don't let it get to you. People can be mean sometimes.

Was it one of the "friends" you called out for being unsupportive jerks?

Odd, thought you were bashing your friends for not giving you props... but didn't some of your friend list show up and call you out for the same thing?

I did, and you're right...but weight and weight loss is a sensitive topic all around. Seems like people would be tactful, if not nice in this arena.

Looks like they totally supported your rationale on how they aren't supportive.
