Is it unreasonable to think everyone is wrong

iwasstarving · 17/02/2017 13:25

If everyone said the same thing about something but you disagreed, would you reconsider or think they were wrong?

Of course green beans are healthy. Showering in the evening is fine. Some people prefer them scrambled. The blue one looks better on you. Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Any of these the answer you're looking for?

MagicMoments22 · 17/02/2017 14:53

depends. they can be factually incorrect or have a different opinion. Latter is grey

Go on OP - what on earth is this about?

Katy07 · 17/02/2017 14:57

Ah, but not if they've gone mouldy..... It might have been a drip feed thread when you only find that out several pages in Grin

I think I'm fat. I always think I'm fat. Everyone else says I am not fat. Everyone else is right and I am wrong.

terrythetrex · 17/02/2017 15:09

stop this attention seeking mysterious rubbish and either tell people what it is about so they can actually give you an informed opinion or don't bother starting thread.

BastardGoDarkly · 17/02/2017 15:11

Well, this is cryptic Hmm

SteppingOnToes · 17/02/2017 15:12

I get the impression the OP is a bit hard work...

roundtable · 17/02/2017 15:13

Aargh Facebook's vaguebooking has crept onto MN...Confused

Oysterbabe · 17/02/2017 15:14

I think you should give us less information, your OP is identifying.

TheFuckitBuckit · 17/02/2017 15:15

Right cannot offer advice logically with the lack of info given and I am not psychic......so have just consulted my book of answers (yes I really do have this book, by carol Bolt FYI)

I just asked is iamstarving on mumsnet right?

The answer given, "Don't be Ridiculous!" Grin

Sorry this is best I can offer at the moment unless you want to start again and actually tell us what the problem is.

supersop60 · 17/02/2017 15:18

OP - if everyone was saying something different, I might wonder why, or give it some more thought. I don't know if I'd reconsider.
It depends.
I think that is what most of the PP have said.
It depends.
Without any specific information, that's the best answer you'll get from most people.

hangingoutattheendofmywick · 17/02/2017 15:18

Dear OP.... if this is about a MLM / Pyramid scheme ... EVERYONE IS RIGHT AND YOU ARE WRONG.

hangingoutattheendofmywick · 17/02/2017 15:21

Though this thread reminds me of my relationship. Everyone told me I was wrong... making a mistake. But five years on, married and 2 kids and .... i should have listened. Only kidding! Very happy.

I hope this isn't about drugs or alcohol. Everyone said I drank too much. I disagreed... It made me "happy" like you say. But they were right and i have cut WAY down now.

NotYoda · 17/02/2017 15:21

Is this about your DH and your job?

Eliza9917 · 17/02/2017 15:21

I suspect she's an OW.

Backt0Black · 17/02/2017 15:21

OP - are you paying someone to type your posts. Are they charging per keystroke. FGS - if you can't be arsed to post.....why post?

IN FACT FUCK IT.

@Iwasstarving If everyone said the same thing about something but you disagreed, would you reconsider or think they were wrong?

...in your own idle language..... everyone here says you are talking in riddles and being a pita. You could ask them to reconsider. But I DON'T think they are wrong.

HTH.

NotYoda · 17/02/2017 15:23

I think OP is in a bit of a state. If, so, despite frustration at her cryptic posts, maybe go easy.

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 17/02/2017 15:26

If people were saying something was wrong. and you knew it was, sort of but it didn't make you unhappy

If people were saying taking hard drugs was wrong. and you knew it was, sort of but it didn't make you unhappy?

If people were saying staying with an abusive partner was wrong. and you knew it was, sort of but it didn't make you unhappy ?

If people were saying leaving a steady job to pursue your dreams was wrong. and you knew it was, sort of but it didn't make you unhappy ?

If people were saying starting a thread asking advice but not actually saying what it was about was wrong. and you knew it was, sort of but it didn't make you unhappy???

NeedMoreSleepOrSugar · 17/02/2017 15:27

(posted too soon!) OP - unless you give some kind of clue as to what's going on, no-one can advise you. - the answers could be totally different depending on what's happening

NotYoda · 17/02/2017 15:28

OP has another thread.

Please be kind, in case she is a real person who is really upset at the moment

Backt0Black · 17/02/2017 15:32

I think people usually are kind where they OP makes it possible

NotYoda · 17/02/2017 15:35

Back

It's possible not to take the piss, as some are doing. It's possible to not be on a thread if you feel the need to do that.

morningconstitutional2017 · 17/02/2017 15:36

Please be less cryptic. If all your friends said that taking dangerous drugs for fun is all right then you are right to disagree with them.

If you say that doing this is all right but they all say that it's asking for trouble then it would be foolish to disagree. In that case sticking to your guns would not be sensible.
