Judgemental People

There's a HUGE difference between HONESTY and RUDENESS!

And THIS is where proper punctuation, spelling and grammar are important!! If you aren't able to tell the intent through the way you read and write, it's a slippery slope to anarchy.

Gotta be honest. I can fall victim to grammar nazi too but I've since tried to avoid that. Fact is, when you do that, you're just being combative. Typical from a giants fan

One word...Touche :flowerforyou:

WAITWAitwaitwait...wait......wait..........hold on.....wait...

You mean I can simply ignore stuff I don't like?

I can click away just like that huh?

Well I'll be...

Jk jk In all reality and honesty, I have no problem with the harsh truth or tough love, or blunt answers IF I ASK FOR THEM... If I (or anyone else for that matter) wants to live miserably, then SO BE IT! BUT If I asked for advice, and got the harsh truth, then by all means I need to accept it...

But simply telling someone to click away, if they don't like your mean, opinion based, belittling answers, is just like a drunk telling other people to stay off the road if they don't like the fact that they are driving drunk...

When some of us see others doing something potentially harmful to themselves... and recommending said behavior to others (such as HcG diet, or eating 500 cal per day, etc) we feel obligated to provide the facts to (hopefully) dissuade unhealthy behaviors from continuing or spreading. Maybe the "harsh truth" wasn't invited.... but who looks at a guy threatening to jump off a building as says to themselves "Well... he didn't ask for MY help, so let him jump!"

Also, the people on here are more sensitive than a 10 year old kid playing Call of Duty with a messed up controller and a sucky internet connection.

There seems to be a pattern on MFP. People are getting all offended about things people are saying. It doesn't have to be even aimed at anyone in particular, it only has to be something that could be construed as "judging" someone.

So here's what I have to say about that.

Grow some freaking thick skin. Do you really think that people in real life aren't judging others? Judging happens. It's basic human nature. Everyone seems to think that its always a bad thing, but you know what?

When it comes to weight loss, I disagree. Look at what other people are doing that is not good for them, and learn from it! People are so worried about hurting other peoples feelings, they won't be honest and say the truth.

So here's the truth - Judge me. If I am doing something but for my health, CALL ME ON IT. Don't say "Oh it's ok, its fine you just ate a cheeseburger for the 6th straight day in a row"

I wanna hear things like "Put down the damn burgers and get your *kitten* to a gym!"

Lets see some honesty people. And when you get honest advice, realize that they aren't giving you this advice to hurt your feelings or be mean. The advice is just to try to help. If you disagree with it.... don't follow it! You don't need to get personally offended and snap at people.

The vast vast vast majority of people on here are on here to change themselves and to help others change. Not hurt your feelings. So start with the idea that they are TRYING TO HELP YOU.

Advice is just that. Advice. You don't have to listen to it if you don't think it's good advice. Even if someone has a personal problem with you, why would you get all offended about a troll on the internet? It doesn't affect your real life!

Thicken up your skin. Seriously, if you can't take a little bit of controversy on the internet, how the hell do you function in real life? Do you live in a bubble where no one can hurt your feelings?

Stop the drama, people. This isn't highschool.

My favorite thing to watch is someone trying to tell others on the internet to buzz off, or f**k off, as if they can actually make them do it. As if they're important enough to make people listen. Those people make me laugh. And I think, when people read stuff like that, it automatically fuels the fire and makes other would be trouble makers chime in.

But how can people properly thicken their skin when they are eating terribly? Bad food=bad skin...

Jk jk In all reality and honesty, I have no problem with the harsh truth or tough love, or blunt answers IF I ASK FOR THEM... If I (or anyone else for that matter) wants to live miserably, then SO BE IT! BUT If I asked for advice, and got the harsh truth, then by all means I need to accept it...

But simply telling someone to click away, if they don't like your mean, opinion based, unasked for, belittling answers, is just like a drunk telling other people to stay off the road if they don't like the fact that they are driving drunk...

THANK YOU!!!! However, I don't know how many times I've experienced backlash because I've said something that not everyone agrees with. People on here also don't understand that it's MY opinion... I'll even state it's MINE and I DON'T want to offend someone. Even coming from a good place, people try to make it into something it's not. This website is called My Fitness PAL. It's meant for support and encouragement. If you don't agree with what someone posted, correct it in a nice way or don't say anything at all.

Trolling is so much easier than judging. I feel it puts me at the highest echelon of douchebaggery.

Seriously - a lack of people calling me on my **** is how I packed on 50 pounds in ONE YEAR. If someone would have told me to step away from the burrito a few times my thighs wouldn't look like sacks of cottage cheese.

Judgey Wudgey was a Bear... *roar*
