why do people on here feel the need to be so dramatic?

[amb885]

not a thread about a thread, i saw on another thread someone telling the op to 'move out. now' over a minor inconvenience with her dh aibu to think people on here are unnecessarily dramatic?

In fairness I don't think it's just on here there seem to be loads of people lately , as in over the last few years who pride themselves on the dramatic exaggeration of everything.

Actually come to think of it my dsis has been like that most of her life and shes 47 so maybe it's not recent.

This thread really needs a 'TRIGGER WARNING' in the title.

I'm shaking, crying, and spluttering my tea over my keypad here and I've woken up a baby who lives 3 streets away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@WorraLiberty, LTB. It's bound to be their fault.

I think some posters (the type who think nuggets of wisdom such as 'Run, now' or 'why did you ever have kids with this man') struggle to understand the complexities of relationships. They also seem to forget there are real people, who are clearly struggling who are reading their words.

In real life people don't leave over tiny transgressions, and it's not easy to unpick yourself from a life that you have created with someone.

I will later but I need to get myself to A&E

NOW!!!!!

BECAUSE THE SKY IS FALLING IN AND THERE'S A PANDEMIC ON, DONCHAKNOW?

On a serious note though OP, I think a lot of the 'LTB merchants' are probably massively projecting due to whatever's going on in their own lives.

They probably want others to do what they never had the courage to do themselves.

Also, some people learn uniformed MN responses and just seem to type them for the sake of it.

I just woke the dog up with laughter that these posts (oh wait no I didn't I vaguely lifted a half amused eyebrow and sneezed which is what actually woke the dog up)

Agree. I have a stable, happy marriage that’s lasted nearly 30 years.

If I had LTB after every little thing mentioned on here, we wouldn’t have made it past 30 months. (And, if I was as suspicious about potential affairs as some people here, his dick would have dropped off from all the extra-marital shagging.)

In the same way that every act of stupidity and selfishness is down to some underlying condition and can be excused and how calling it out is staggeringly cruel and no one has any empathy. No such thing as someone making a bad decision and they must, never, ever be held responsible. Because it’s just cruel, don’t you know.

MNers are only not being dramatic, shaking, raging or sobbing, when they are saying things in a low quiet voice or having a silent cry.

In laws, stomp and storm in and out of rooms.

Men are always sulking or shouting when not banging around.

Old people and furrin types will be aggressive and scary.

No dog whistles on here.

Some people are dramatic in real life too but yes you are right I've never heard as much dramatic views on mumsnet .
I honestly have visions of some people on mumsnet hiding under the stairs since March living off pasta , their only pleasure is going on mumsnet telling anyone how schools should stay closed and you are going to hell if you don't wear a mask .

What about the ones with (presumably) so little excitement and rage in their own lives they like to fill in an OP's gaps and, at the same time, fume on her behalf?

"OMFG if a person over 50 said good morning to me I'd send my husband out to beat him to a pulp. He was fucking cheeky and probably dangerous and mentally ill as well."

Then when other posters go "eh?"

"Well, the OP means...."

Well yes but that'll be because someone they weren't expecting, knocked at their front door.

I am livid reading this post. Livid I tell you.

Just the other day I was reading something and I couldn’t read till the end of it because I was sobbing so hard...

I absolutely detest the term “trigger warning” someone seriously suggested recently that a thread about spiders should contain a trigger warning.... And people agreed with them... I really wonder how some people manage to function in the real world when everything is “triggering” to them....

My favourite is when a friend or neighbour commits some minor transgression or act of thoughtlessness and people are falling over themselves to draft longwinded friendship ending texts full of words like furthermore and henceforth, it’s like no one has the ability to be mildly annoyed, avoid the person who’s annoyed then for a bit, then get over it 🤷🏻‍♀️

You wonder how some people get through life?
“My neighbour is cutting grass at 8am, and I am disturbed by the lawnmower noise, AIBU?” Erm, go live in a flat.
“My Husband didn’t put the dishes in the dishwasher the right way, should I leave him?” No he should leave you.
“My mum lives loves spending time with my kids too much, it’s making me uncomfortable, should I say something?” Yes, thank her for being an amazing grandma, and get a hobby while you’re at it instead of being a drama queen.

Let’s not even get started with the furlough related gems. There’s too many good ones to mention.

There was a thread in the corona preppers board whatever it's called. About people sealing bedroom doors up to isolate with tape. And going to the toilet dressed? In black bin bags incase they flushed and spores came out. I had anxiety for weeks.

You mean you’re still in contact with your mum? Aren’t you NC? Most people are aren’t they?

“She’s no friend. Go no contact.”*

*Someone you’ve best BFFs with since primary school who turned down your invite to coffee because she’s going to a funeral.

There was a thread not too long ago called 'most OTT responses you've seen on a post'. It was hilarious.

You should defo call the police to log what you've seen op.

Yup. I got "go no contact with FIL and stop him seeing his grandkids" all because he kept making comments about me being vegetarian. Apparently he was going to give DC eating disorders (he sees them once a month for a couple of hours)

Recently, you can always find someone to validate you, especially if you use certain buzz words.

Humans used to believe in being in the lap of the gods but now there is always someone to blame.

I read a lot of old literature and history and these ideas of blame are largely absent from the past.

It’s madness how many people say the husband is controlling/abusive/a bastard after hearing one side of an argument. It’s automatic, just leave immediately, there is no option to work at a relationship, you must go right now.
