Is it unreasonable to think everyone is wrong

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

Yabu and as you're so vague and defensive I'm gonna venture that you're wrong and everyone else is right

NotYoda · 17/02/2017 15:42

OPs other thread

I am linking it in case it's relevant.

TheFuckitBuckit · 17/02/2017 15:46

Just read your other thread. Is it to do with your dh?

Op people are just frustrated as you have given no detail So can't offer fair advice.

Hope you are ok.

Hesdeadjim · 17/02/2017 15:46

Everyone is frustrated, so I've created a handy synopsis of how this thread is going to go:

OP will not return for a few hours, but when she does she'll huff loudly about how everyone is judging her without knowing her and YOU DON'T KNOW MY STORY. She'll then drop a subtle hint to an eating disorder by saying something like "it's my body, my choice" or something else face-palm worthy.

Shortly thereafter, MN'ers will continue to complain abut the lack of details, OP will never be seen again.

/FIN.

NotYoda · 17/02/2017 15:48

Hesdeadjim

Well done

And maybe this is a person is in a state. Didn't think before posting.

But you'll never know

But you'll feel mighty good because you old it like it was on AIBU

FireInTheHead · 17/02/2017 16:03

NotYoda You may very well be right and the OP does need support and advice but until the OP spits out what the actual problem is no one here is in a position to offer that support and advice. You might think you know what it is based on the other thread but in that case and assuming you and others have already responded there why has the OP started a new thread? She might be asking about something else altogether. In the absence of the OP's clarification how do we know if she's right or wrong without knowing what it is she's supposed to be right or wrong about? I don't blame pps for their frustration, 5 pages and counting of thread and its still as clear as mud.
The solution is in the OP's own hands: tell us what the problem is and maybe she'll get more helpful responses.

NotYoda · 17/02/2017 16:04

No, but you can't be nice and not go on and on about how frustrating it is for you that she's not answering. That won't help her. will it?

Anyway, this isn't helping either so I'm orf

VivienneWestwoodsKnickers · 17/02/2017 16:12

Piss take thread. Not enough info for anyone to be able to help you OP.

PageStillNotFound404 · 17/02/2017 16:13

OP having read your other thread it's no wonder your head's all over the place. You had a lot of support there, you'll find the same here if you can be a bit less cryptic. You were able to be quite open on your other thread, can you do some of that here? Despite some of the harsher responses this is a supportive place for a woman in need - a woman who sounds like she's in an emotionally abusive relationship. Let us help you.

AnnieAnoniMouse · 17/02/2017 16:31

The OP's other thread really is relevant.

I know this one is frustrating, but she really isn't in a good place, so resisting piling in would be a kind thing to do.

KayTee87 · 17/02/2017 16:31

Op I'm sorry for my snippy response. I genuinely thought you were just as it as I hadn't read your previous thread.
Please give us more information if you would like some support.

Tatlerer · 17/02/2017 16:38

OP are you the poster who started a thread saying you were making yourself physically sick 2-3 times a week but didn't think there was anything wrong with that? Apologies if you weren't but I thought I recognised the (ironic) user name.

Pettywoman · 17/02/2017 17:01

Hope you're OK OP. I'm sure people would help you if you let us.

But remember that the people saying something is wrong may not have all the facts about why you think it is right for you.

Hatemylifenow · 17/02/2017 17:24

No people aren't wrong. You are in an abusive relationship.

iwasstarving · 17/02/2017 17:36

First of all and most importantly thank you so much NotAYoda

Secondly, and it doesn't matter really but Idon't have an eating disorder, if anything i'm a little bit overweight right now.

lastly I did not come on meaning to be vague or annoying. Sometimes it's really, really difficult to know how to say what you mean, obviously I'm sorry if this annoys you but in that case I genuinely don't get why it does.

Anyway the most important think is to say thanks I was going toPM but I think you stood up for me in public, I will do the same.

Niskayuna · 17/02/2017 17:40

Oh, is this the one who vomits after meals but doesn't have an eating disorder?

Look OP, tell us "the thing" that "everyone" says and we can work out what you're blithering about. If everyone says you're a bit secretive, we'd be inclined to agree. If everyone says you're a mouse named Roland who lives in a treehouse, we'd be able to suggest your family and friends are a little bit odd.

iwasstarving · 17/02/2017 17:42

This is at least the third time I have said this.

I do not vomit after meals. I do not have an eating disorder. I do not know why you are all saying I do, as I have never had an eating disorder in my life.

I don't know what you're all talking about.

OP posts:
PageStillNotFound404 · 17/02/2017 17:44

Okay OP, we've got that. What is it that IS bothering you? What is everyone saying that you feel is wrong?

This is Mumsnet, we've heard it all, and if it's something embarrassing you can always namechange afterwards.

Maudlinmaud · 17/02/2017 17:44

It's ok op. Your user name and lack of details led people to believe you where another poster.
I haven't read your other thread, do you want to go into details now?

skerrywind · 17/02/2017 17:45

We haven't a clue what you are talking about either OP.

But I am sure you are right.

roundaboutthetown · 17/02/2017 17:45

So, OP, is this something you do or that has happened to you that doesn't make you feel sad or bad about yourself, but other people tell you that you are fooling yourself and whatever it is has harmed you?

Hatemylifenow · 17/02/2017 17:46

Ffs can you lot just read her other thread? Can't you advance search?
