to find all the feelings of violence really rather depressing?

[SoupDragon]

It's all "I want to punch/slap/kick person X Y or Z"

It's so thoroughly depressing.

Don't know about depressing but agree it's a bit unnecessary....

YANBU

Please desist.

It's the standard response these days. Someone taken th last loaf? Quick stab with a flick knife. Some else wearing a too-bright coat? Throw some mud or push her into the hedge...

breathe in.

Actually I'm feeling quite aggressive today. Wonder if there is something in the air?

woah second thread about this
is MN especially violent today?
actually the stepford thread is making me feel rather violent

It does suggest that some people can't express themselves in words very well.

Catissleepy, you are right - it's that bloomin' stepford thread, isn't it?

I think it's getting progressively more violent, yes. Obviously it's all virtual violence but it's sad that the first thought is to physically hurt the other person.

u dont have to open the threads soupdragon. if they are that depressing and you never no people might have just cause to feel liek they do after all people dp all have differnt feelings over thinsg and i thought mn was a place people could vent there fellings openly unlike im rl in many cases.

nicky it has actually really wound me up

need to calm down!

I hid it, Cat!
I couldn't take it either.

Maybe people are just trying to find a way to emphasise how very annoyed they are at person X, Y, or Z.

It's all a bit juvenile, really

i guess it's just a shorthand for expressing extreme annoyance

well i hope so anyway
rather worrying if these are real urges to slap/punch etc

i postedon other thread too.
i dont do violence.

its nasty and uncalled for.

nicky you're a sensible gal
could be time for me to hide it too

and of course most people go through with everything they say as they never say anything in the heat of the moment do they it doesnt mean that if we say we are going to x y or z to someone we actually will we arent all violent maniacs it might just be we have had an exceptionally bad time and just want to vent are anger. onetime mn used to take comments like that in the way they were meant now all of a sudden its taken seriously and you will actually go though wit it. dont no why mn has suddenly gone like this but its not good.

Agree it's quite alarming.

Too many "AIBU to want to stomp on SIL/DH/horrid woman's head?" To which the only possible answer has to be "YES"!

' all of a sudden its taken seriously and you will actually go though wit it. dont no why mn has suddenly gone like this but its not good. '

what do you mean not good?

lots of people have bad times.we dont all want to kill/hurt someone.or say it.

I like this thread. It's the gentle, pot plant in the corner, cup of tea, chocolate biscuit space. Thanks, Soupdragon.

the reason i say not good is that mn has lost the light hearted have a laugh and be supportive part it used to have but ill consider myself told off now and go to my corner with dunces hat on

no one told you off.or told you to sit in corner.people are just wondering why everyone is so angry atm.

oh fgs [rolls eyes]

who me?

yanbu. Think it's horrible.

I also think that if there were men on here posting "ibu to want to punch/slap/do physical harm to dw" that there would be calls of domestic violence and women's aid. But because it's women posting it it's all supposed to be light-hearted fun.

Totally uncalled for imo.
