Page 5 | Too much negativity on here.. I’m bloody leaving

Well what a disgrace is all I can say. Racists, negativity, disrespect and not to mention the know it all regulars on here 👍 Some of you really need to have a word with yourself

acorncrush · 16/04/2026 02:22

I think you’re looking on the wrong threads.

I think this might be more about what catches your eye and your own interests.

There are many positive supportive and helpful threads on here. It’s a place full of support.

What do you expect people to say?

There is a specific board for flouncers.

Bye then.

Did a thread of yours go very badly OP? Sometimes posting at a different time (am, pm, evening) draws a different crowd and you'll get different answers.

I have notifications off and only return to read OPs updates and it's just pure luck if I see a post responding to mine. Makes life more peaceful.

And there is no need at all to use a forum to provoke people so they feel distressed, upset and angry either, but people do.

One would have thought life is too fucking short for that also.

Show quote history

Of course it is!

However, people need to have thick skins and not allow anonymous strangers to provoke them online in the first place.

Words on a screen isn’t real life.

IsThatAHedgehog · 16/04/2026 01:36

I haven't rtft cos I can't be fucking arsed but I have read your posts OP.

I know this might be a tism thing but I genuinely don't understand this. If something isn't for you, just....stop doing it?

Am I being too black and white? Am I missing something?

If I went on a website, read through the posts and didn't like what people were saying, I'd just....not go back on that website?

It really is that simple (to ME). Again, if anyone can shed light on why other people don't just stop doing/looking at things they don't like, I'd be really happy to be educated (no sarcasm!).

There is absolutely no need to get upset, angry or stressed over an online forum. None at all.

This site is genuinely mad. The way some of you act, you definitely put those facebook posts up “To the person in the pink ford who beeped at me!! I put my indicator on before I pulled in front of you!! I have your reg and I will report you if you don’t send me a private message apologising. The unexpected sound of your horn nearly made me crash”

I bet you will be back OP.

I've deleted my account a few times because MN was affecting me negatively. But it's so addictive. And the good points definitely outweigh the bad.
So I keep coming back.

Same.

Plus I like to stay aware of the different types of horrible people walking among us.

You choose the threads you choose. It’s like sacking off the library because in your opinion, the books are shit. 🤷‍♀️

I’ve been around on here since 2010 and occasionally take longish breaks for my wellbeing. I’ve recently returned and am genuinely shocked at the online bullying, smart-assery and outright aggression & hostility of so many responses / posters. I’m really saddened people now feel they can talk to others in this caustic and heartless way.

I know I can be a bit frustrated and blunt sometimes but the nastiness and casual aggression I see / have been subject to is wild, compared to how people on here used to interact with each other.

It can make the difference between just about coping, and not coping.

I even feel nervous about posting this tbh, as I’m genuinely prepared for some nasty, hurtful and aggressive responses such as the OP has received on this thread. I’m feeling very traumatised from work tonight, and vulnerable in my own severe MH challenges, and aware that opening myself up for the really awful, snide, sarcastic “you do you” and “go away” and “bore off” and “whatever” and nasty emojis will probably make the difference to me tonight between going to bed feeling head and going to bed feeling woeful.

This is just my own experience / thoughts tho, please don’t shoot me down for sharing them 🙏🏻

Oh bugger, sounds like you're having a rough time. I hope you managed to get to bed feeling better and not worse! 💐

Slightly hoping I might strike a chord with some of the regulars (you know who you are) who are so full of self righteousness, believe they know absolutely everything and have to have the last word. Some of these posters will argue about when your next cycle is. They just love to argue.

Show quote history

For the batshit trolls and contrarians I just turned off notifications. They can froth at the mouth about my posts all they want, I never see it. Obviously they’re desperate for attention so not reading or responding to their unhinged nonsense is the way to go. Half the time their ramblings don’t even have much to do with the person they’re quoting, they just want to provoke a conflict.

I do usually check back on the OP’s posts though and respond again if needed.

AstonUniversityPotholeDepartment · 16/04/2026 00:44

Best wishes to you and yours.

By the way, I completely agree with you about the frivolous, thoughtless posts claiming that photos of negative pregnancy tests are actually showing positive results.

SummerFate · 16/04/2026 00:30

No doubt you will get told this isn’t the place for you or you should get off social media. It’s them that need reminding that their online persona isn’t actually reality. They don’t get to come online and act billy big bx because they don’t have the chest to do it in their everyday life. Some of these need bringing down a peg or 2. No wonder there’s so many awful kids in the world when they are offspring to racists and bullies

No they wouldn’t. Don’t even get me started on the pregnancy/ conception boards where someone posts a photo of a very obvious evap line and there’s comment after comment congratulating 🙌 🥳 them. Then they do another test which has now come back negative and the poster believes they’ve had a miscarriage, all before they’ve missed their period. My grind here is with the relentless posters who can’t accept that a line on a pregnancy test doesn’t always mean a line and start dishing out false hope
