I've been on MFP for years, just on different accounts. Every time I go on a post, I always see that one mean person. You can't even ask a question on here without someone telling you how you feel or telling you about your own life.

I don't need a counselor, telling me what I should do with my life; I already have one.

So why is everyone so mean? Or trying to tell ME how I feel??!

Please don't be rude on this post, I am just looking for NICE people.

I don't need a "congrats" everyday, just want to see other people and how their doing with their progress :)

So if you're nice, I will add/accept. Everyone needs a good friend on here. :)

    What exactly are you wanting to know when you post topics on here?

    You start by saying there's one mean poster in every thread and then end by suggesting that everyone here is mean. I would like to nicely suggest that painting everyone on these boards with the same brush isn't very nice.

    Have a nice day. :flowerforyou:

    Agreed. Too many people here wanting to shove people down. Its not necessarily being mean, but there sure are people here who "know it all" instead of just offering friendly advice.

    "There's always that one person" so "why is everyone so mean"?

    Um.

    I don't know how to tell you this, but that's not mathing right.

    I have seen mean people here, but they usually get smacked down and booted pretty quickly by the mods.

    I have to admit, I am amused by the irony of someone who openly admits to having misrepresented herself on this site for years lecturing the community at large on proper behavior.

    LOL ** TELL ME ABOUT IT:) Just got back on here and there seem to be quite a few haters since a few years ago. It was my understanding that we're all in this together but then you've got your "Know it alls" and former "heavy weights turned light weights" and now discriminate against being overweight. (Clearly the weight loss did not help (ALL) of their issues.

    Hang in there, girl:) There are quite a few cool people that are straight up:))

    BEST TO YOU :):)

    How can you have been on here for "years" if you are only 18?

    I don't think there are very many people that go out of their way to be mean. On the other hand if you suggesting or promoting a diet that is unhealthy people will certainly be quick to point this out. Some people are just a bit blunt about it.

    So... you've been on this site when you were younger than 18?

    Often people who are seen as mean are really just honest. Some people have their feelings hurt too easily as well. Its the internet, what do you honestly expect??

    I'm actually a really nice person. Many of my friends who are considered "mean" on here are very nice people. Maybe people should stop focusing on tone and presentation and more on the words in the post. The knowledge and help that is often overlooked by defensive feelings.

    I'm sorry if people were mean to you, OP, but please keep and open mind and try and take what people say with a grain of salt and read the truth in the comments and not the harshness that sometimes comes with direct, blunt advice.

    Good luck OP. I hope you make your goals!

    I think MFP mirrors the real world. You will find nice folks, mean folks, helpful folks, ignorant folks, know-it-alls, etc.

    In my 1 1/2 months experience there are MANY more nice folks than mean folks on MFP. The few mean folks come off more sarcastic than truly mean and most of those folks appear to be ones who have been here for a while and doesn't seem to have patience with newbies asking questions on things they "should know".

    Just like you ignore the mean folks in the real world, do the same here. Just take it all with a grain of salt and remember why you are here in this community.

    People are generally pretty nice and helpful but we're not afraid to say suck it up buttercup this is what you are doing wrong and this is what you need to do to fix it. If you're afraid to be told you're doing something wrong then you are in the wrong place.
