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?

This thread is making me giggle - since I’ve started using MN, I look at people in real life and expect them to be annoyed with me because I breathed the wrong way.

My husband said something quite annoying before, he can just be a bit negative sometimes and I thought... if I posted about this on MN, I’d be told to leave him immediately and never look back.

I spent a long time wondering how it is that I have gone through so many decades without encountering any adults who start screaming when they don't get their own way. Same for starting to cry if nobody agrees with them (bonus points for flinging themselves to the floor as well).

“My father gave my toddler a sip of coffee, should I report him to child protection services?” No you should seek some help yourself.
“My friend said she was coming to dinner, then turned up 30 mins late and didn’t apologise, AIBU to break off my 30 year friendship with her?” Not at all, go right ahead, you would be doing her a favour
“Why are MNers so nasty?” Why do you ask questions like the above?
“Schools shouldn’t open in sept because COVID-19 is like a nuclear Armageddon and children must be protected” (thread no. 57393373738 on the same topic)

People on MN always seem very quick to suggest ending a relationship. You hardly ever see anyone who says forgive or keep trying to work it out. I often feel people are very quick to condemn the husband/boyfriend rather than the other way round.

Don't forget all these people who can't eat; they slurp, smack, gobble, guzzle, trough, devour, pig, inhale, stuff... but never eat.

I live alone in the countryside, nothing around me at all. Can I leave this bastarding boring place at all!

Mortified.

Livid.

LTB.

Log it with 101.

Police. Now.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dislike both extremes that seems to be on here, the LTB because he didn't put the dishwasher on or the OMG I can't believe you need a trigger warning/struggle with anxiety you pathetic snowflake types.

I'm definitely going to call Social Services about this thread

Where have all these ‘Anxiety Issues’ suddenly sprung from? Every second person seems to have them.

What about the 'OMG you only change your bed every half an hour?! You are at risk of contracting a deadly infection' posts. Make me laugh out loud so much my neighbours have started a thread about me.

And then theres the pearl clutchers....

I cannot believe you posted this thread. How disgustingly thoughtless. Reported!!!!

Have you had a test? Being dramatic is a symptom of Covid. Next door's best friend's DP served a nurse in a coffee shop so I know for a FACT that's true.

A&E. Now.

In fairness it's only mothers in law who are prone to chucking themselves about and weeping.

Well tell that to my naccissitic mother in law.

Some of the people on Mumsnet really need to make an appointment with their GP to discuss getting treatment for their anxiety.

We have grown women who can’t answer the door; say “no” when they really should and would like society shut down because they have real difficulty making a grown up risk assessment.

Sometimes we all act like arseholes (male and female) but doesn’t mean you should break up a generally happy relationship when someone acts like a bit of a dick occasionally.

It dies make you wonder how people would deal with a real crisis.

his dick would have dropped off from all the extra-marital shagging.)
Love this thread

Enjoyable thread, and encompasses all the angst and triggers and judgment from many behind their keyboards/phones.

I love The Just Brigade

Noisy neighbours? Just move house
Short of money? Just get a credit card
No credit? Just take in ironing or sell on eBay
Row with DH? Just bag his stuff up on the lawn & change the locks
Rubbish public transport? Just learn to drive
Mum at school causing problems? Just ask if she meant to be so rude (extra points for head tilt & tinkly laugh)
Child having problems at school? Just home ed / Just change schools

Because life really is Just That Simple.

I know. You can tell the way a thread will go.

Threads where the OP will be told to LTB are very popular. Almost as though people reveal in the misfortune of others. (But surely by telling the OP to LTB you’re leading her to a happier life?)

People get very defensive any time benefits or council houses are mentioned. It’s as though those posters don’t work but don’t want to say do.

Always so much sympathy with women whose husbands are cheating (of which there are many, many threads), but when anyone suggests most men have a wandering eye it’s a big pile on to cry “no they don’t!! How dare you suggest that my husband would look elsewhere!”

Heaven forbid anyone ask for advice about an clever baby.... oh lord!!!

The jealously!

I think alot of peoples anxiety is coming from people around them who sympathise instead of telling them to grow up / get a grip / work around the problem not just give into it / blowing things out of proportion etc.

In relation to the above, I am talking about 'small' problems. If they learn to react to small problems like this then they have no resilience to bigger issues or any critical problem solving skills.
