Should we give you :hugs: and rainbows and sunshine or would you prefer the truth with actual advice that will help you reach your goals?0

This topic title was just an opening for everyone to be more 'mean' to you. I will say what I say to everyone else that posts these kinds of things, Who Cares. I could care less when people on the internet say something rude. It's internet, it's to be expected.0

I mean, I thought that this site was supposed to be about support and motivation. All I see are snarky/mean answers to everything on here.
It's disgusting..
Thought it was just me!0 -

This is seriously disturbing:sad: :frown: :huh:0 -
I know you are too new to know the can of worms you have opened here but this never ends well.
The reason people are mean on the internet is because they have a large audience and they have no accountability.
Also some things that are labeled as mean are actually just honest and people don't like straight shooters.
I have found this site to be very useful in helping me lose weight. There are way more good than bad. There are groups you can join where everyone is like minded which will help you avoid mean people. I would recommend joining one of those.
Or they do it cause they're trying to fit in to a specific peer group and be accepted by some people on this site... Posting pointless GIF are the "COOL" thing to do on MFP. IF you want to be "COOL" on MFP you need to snarky, sarcastic. Everyone does it, we all might as well be a bunch of followers.

Sometimes it not only gets boring typing the same response over and over ad nauseum, but the non-snark response gets less attention from the OP, and that defeats the point in replying. Either no one notices the "Sorry, the Raspberry Keytone/Coffee Enema/Juice Fast/Fat Flush cleanse is at best a waste of money, don't do that," or you get called a MEAN PERSON for not understanding how EVERYONE'S BODY IS DIFFERENT and didn't get to have the fun of being at least a tad snarky in your first response. There's no motivation to spoon feed sprinkles to everyone.0

This is my first post so I'll be nice. :flowerforyou:
However, I must warn you. I'm on day 3 of my new "low carb llifestyle" (trying to remove the word "diet" from my vocabulary.)
Someone mentioned popcorn on a reply and I swear, my mouth watered. Good grief. :grumble:
Anyway, people on the internet are mean for a variety of reasons. Either they feel brave hiding behind the anonymity of their monitors. Or they're hungry. Or they're just a bit anti-social...hence: the internet.
Or they could just be b*tches. Whatever the reason, I wouldn't let it bother you. It's their problem much more than yours.
(I hope that was nice enough)
Have a great day! :laugh:0 -
There are alot of weight loss forums and weight loss subforums of other forums out there....if you don't like MFP's, then try one of them.
The internet is too big to be sad because the people on one forum are not nice enough for you.0 -

Awww.. Did the cool kids do something mean to you?
They did me too. Like water off a duck's back. Just let it go. It's better for you that way.0 -

I think its because when someone posts a legitimate opinion about health, 5 other people feel the need to explain that because of their extensive google research, they certainly know more than anyone else on the internet.
And by extensive, you mean they spent about 5 minutes googling something and read the parts of a blog that support their own ideas and neglected the parts that don't.0
