to constantly feel on MN like I either have the 'wrong' opinion or it is not worth a fig!?!

[horseygeorgie]

Exactly that. I am probably being over sensitive, in fact I'm sure many of you will tell me I am, but every time I comment on a tread I get shot down in flames. Tbh it is getting to me a bit! I used to love MN, it was a haven when I had a bad day, but I daren't post much any more as I always seem to end up either with the 'wrong' opinion or made to feel like it doesn't matter if I have a difference of opinion because I'm clearly out of order and wrong to boot!
Just typed up a reply on another thread and deleted it as I KNOW what reaction I will get and it is never pleasant. It is like being back in the school room! I know I am probably being U as I get a little sensitive with people opinions (was very badly bullied at school and never really got over the need to please.) but can't help the way I feel. Just a bit sad and down about it actually.

Not all of you, obviously. There are some lovely people on her, and people I have a lot of respect for, even if we don't even agree.

It is also very important to be able to distinguish between "being attacked" and "being disagreed with"

.

Very much so Bert.

I think there are ways to disagree with someone without attacking them. Some people do struggle with that.

In the very kindest way I do think yabu - but you're in good company because I sometimes feel that way too.

Don't let it put you off posting.

I don't know if I'm just jaded but I used to find aibu much funnier than I do now. I still enjoy the clever and pithy responses and those posters who are great at arguing and evidencing their points, it just used to make laugh out loud.
