Why are people so harsh on the AIBU

I feel like people never offer good or moreover NICE advise? Why are replies always so miserable and harsh lol

Sometimes a post can touch a nerve - perhaps because you've experienced a similar thing from the opposite point of view - and then it's easy to feel as though you're posting to the person who you feel wronged you IRL, rather than the OP.

It’s a bold move, wandering onto AIBU with Live Love Laugh in your username and doing a goady post. We do the “MN is horrible” thread once a week, I think. Are you perhaps on the wind-up?

Perhaps.
I also think many here are too easily offended. Time and again I see posts being reported and deleted when they contain no personal attacks nor do they break the talk guidelines. Or threads being pulled entirely because the OP doesn’t like that the majority haven’t agreed with them. Or other people suggesting entire threads should be pulled because they don’t like the tone of them. Lest we read something we don’t like.

At the risk of proving your point that’s a really odd adjective to use. Advice shouldn’t be nice it should be good or useful etc.

lots of people offer good advice , or advice they think is helpful, some people are twats as they get a kick out of it. Some people are harsh as that’s how they treat themselves. But like „real life“ really. And some posters make you think how do you get through the day?!

As an example I find your post irritating, nice in capitals, advice spelt wrong, using lol and no full stop. And no examples of what you are describing. So much like aibu I’ve got choices, ignore it or say something horrible.
