How often do you click on a MN thread title because in a moment of paranoia you think it could be about you depending what is going on in your life?

Row with a MIL: click on my DIL is awful thread in fear
Terse words with a neighbor over parking: click on a Another Parking One in case its you.
Left out of a group WhatsApp social: click on the AIBU to exclude this annoying mum?

You are not being unreasonable = Yes I do this all the time if I have something like that going on. We are all a bit paranoid.

You are being unreasonable = Never. Never crossed my mind until this moment.

Always! 😂 If I pass the police I worry I’ve broken the law. It’s something I’m working on!

Considering most of them are made up, never

NicolaSturgeon · 25/09/2026 18:26

There have been a few times it's seemed quite personal, but as I know I am not unreasonable I always assume it's the OP who's got the wrong end of the stick!

Never!

As always Eleanor Roosevelt had the answer.

"You wouldn't worry what people thought of you if you realised how seldom they did"

Dweetfidilove · 25/09/2026 18:15

Never!

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 25/09/2026 18:14

Absolutely never.

In the absence of evidence to the contrary, I always assume everyone loves me.

AgnesMcDoo · 25/09/2026 17:44

Never

sonjadog · 25/09/2026 17:42

Never occurred to me.

Morecoffeeneedef · 25/09/2026 17:41

Never. MN is huge and a lot of threads seem to be AI generated anyway.

TorroFerney · 25/09/2026 17:40

Never. But, I have no siblings and neither does the husband or relatives I am in touch with apart from mum and FIL . Neither of them would use Mumsnet.

Am not in any whatsapp groups with parents, well I tell a lie one that got formed about 6 years ago and may get two messages a year.

Neighbours - get on ok, only on nodding terms but again nothing has happened.

Work, well no can't imagine that. I'm not mean or scandalous enough.

Literally never 😂 I’m obviously perfect and it’s everyone else around my that are the problem (to misquote Scott disick)
