I don’t use social media at all and have used mumsnet for a number of years and found it useful at times. I just feel sometimes some people on here are like a dysfunctional family member! So many times I’ve deleted my account but then needed some advice on something so re-joined then straight away deleted. Just read another thread just now which annoyed me as I think to myself the way some people’s brain work! Same thing happened to me previously so I sympathise with majority of posters. E.g. I posted asking opinion about something I was thinking of buying and stupidly put a link and got lots of comments saying I’m showing off how much money I have! It wasn’t actually even expensive - it was less than £90. Is this what all social media is like? Why would I want to show off that I can afford £90 item to a bunch of strangers! I was genuinely asking for opinions or advice.
I have felt so angry and upset in the past and feel like this reading other people’s threads where people just seem to gang up on and bully innoncent questions asked by people who obviously are suffering from anxiety or some kind of stress. It’s really not nice the way some people are on here. What do others think - is it just me being sensitive? I remember couple of threads I read where the OP was suffering from some kind of anxiety and people were asking “is this a joke?” And “are you 12 years old”, how is that remotely helpful?
