The rise in the hero complex

[PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock]

There has been a certain rise in people claiming they are or thinking they are heroes. "We are saving lives".

That basically involves an avid desire to report anyone that dares to leave the house, police everyone else, dismiss the worries and concerns of others, ridiculing, attacking,bullying and emotionally blackmailing anyone who struggles, some kind of irrational fear/hate of children and gleeful virtue signaling about how much better they are at staying home. Abusing key workers that in their eyes are not doing their job,for doing their job, following guidelines(made up or official) ,not following guidelines,in the wrong clothes etc.

There are people who are seriously struggling right now, emotionally,financially,mentally,physically etc. People that are becoming more and more vulnerable as more restrictions and public policing come in. People that have killed themselves due to the situation we are in.

They are not heroes,they are not saving lives.

@bringthegin especially for you.

@PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock

That is brilliant 🤣🤣. I need a few more gins then that is being printed out. Awesome

Ohhh theirs an argument going in the gardens that back onto mine.

A hero shouting at his neighbour for getting to close to the fence!

Said fence fancier pointed out he was already out before the hero came out so the hero was the one that got too close and to 'fuck right off'.

Dp is sat chuckling away in our garden.

Oh my god I don't have any living next door to me. I feel robbed. Live updates please

It blew itself out unfortunately.

Hero threatened to punch the fence fancier, who laughed and said something like 'come round then....I'll knock the fuck out of you for coming within 2 meters of me'

Hero huffed and puffed and decided to scuttle off back inside whilst maintaining he could infact kick the shit of the fence fancier.

He couldnt, but obviously his ego wouldnt let him go quietly.

I have been here nearly 2 years and never witnessed an argument. Well it broke qtheq afternoon up.

Though after dying my hair I got bored and decides to trim my fringe......its too short. But should be ok, by the time lockdown ends 🤷‍♀️ need to leave my hair alone now.

Fringe pics please!

And we're owed some pup ones too

Neighbours - the Coronofiles Shits If they keep it up you could cancel your Netflix subscription.

We have (non official) padlocks on gates to prevent people going up onto the moors. There was the FB out cry about dirty gates and the poor farmers until it was pointed out there is no stock on the moors because it is lambing season. It has been suggested the gate should just be propped open to prevent contamination between walkers. That would not do apparently. There may be a plot involving bolt cutter. Mass Trespass - 2m.

Getting hair appointments is going to be more difficult than the week before Christmas. At least I will be able to get mayo for my BBQ salads.

Evening all you jail dodgers.
Just catching up with the eleventy million posts when i was at work and been giggling like a loon.

The link for the video didnt work will have to look for them later, just for safety purposes of course, not ordering on spec!

I have hair dye thats been sitting in bathroom for weeks looking accusingly at me every time i go in. I need to bite the bullet at some point.

I dont do FB except school and selling pages so dont see all the shit thank goodness dont think my blood pressure would take it. 1984 was not fiction it was a prophecy!

Its very quiet where i live none of the dramas thankfully. Went for a walk last pm.and met 1 person, i went onto the road round the cars and we said hello and he thanked me! Bit useless for Fb🤣

Had sweet chilli chicken pizza for tea, hot hot hot! Not very sweet! Having medicinal glass of wine to save my burning tongue and throat. I am saving the NHS a fortune by self medicating am so proud, hmm maybe i should put that on FB🤔🤔 oh oh unecessary purchase alert. (Sod off, me and 2 teens? Bloody necesssry purchase in my book)

Was quite enjoying the 'curtain twitcher' thread but its been invaded by the hysterics with the usual accusations dammit. They dont seem to be able to distinguish normal rules and 'thier interpretation of the rules' nor get the theme of the thread or in some cases actually read posts properly! Grrr.

KBO.

I have wine. So glad I am not on FB. Twitter is suiting me down to the ground at the moment, especially as everyone I follow are funny normal people.

I have mostly been experimenting with how long I can leave my hair unwashed and how long I can go without make up. My eyelashes are thanking me. Cannot wait for legging delivery tomorrow

I have sinned. Sadly not with a soldier. Or a fireman. But with the Yorkshire Soap Company. I’ve been thinking for days that while I’m lucky enough to work safely from home, the entire situation would be helped by creating a certain ambiance. So I have three candles coming. I also have bedding plants on the way. I have spent a month worrying that I’m not doing this good enough, but I feel somewhat liberated after reading this thread. I have bought ethically from small businesses that fulfill on-site, I’m not an entire reprobate. I’m even hopeful that I may sleep tonight for the first time in 4 weeks (but that may because I have begged my DD to open the bottle of gin she got in her stocking). Given she rarely drinks I explained to her that this was a sacrifice I would clap for.

However, I get extra points as I’m not using hair dye as I’m basically bald, an occasional number one all over my tufts will do me for a while, as there is currently a world wide shortage of wigs.

Attitudes towards mental health at the moment are disgusting. I’ve posted a couple of times about how I’m struggling and now I’m actually scared to post anymore as some of the replies made me feel worse and my depression is already back. I was made to feel selfish for having depression and wanting to see my friends. How fucked up is that?!

Same here, @BlueMoon1103

I have put this up in my window. My alternative take on the rainbows everywhere

I have felt ill with wading some of the MH comments, Cantana. What we will become as a society after this will cause as much damage as the virus itself.

Evening all.. Glad everyone's been getting through the day as best we can. That's all we need to do, get through this.

Bluemoon hug from me and take your pic. I hope you're ok. I think everyone should be not only caring about the physical health of the nation but also their mental health. Sorry if I sound wanky but be kind to yourself.

I've had a fair few very wobbly moments myself. I think we all have.
I'm limiting my watching of news to a minimum and avoiding all lot of forums and it's helped. You're welcome here.

GrumpyMug brilliant

Cherries If it's any consolation, I think we'll all emerge from lockdown with questionable hair styles.

Obligatory fringe pics. It's not too bad now I have done it. But its definitely not the long sweeping fringe, I was aiming for.

Oh and a pupdate! She is posing for dp.

The comments relating to peoples mental health are truly sickening. One poster in particular keeps saying peoples mental health doesnt matter in comparisiopsn to covid. She doesnt care about their mental health. Even said if someone kills them selves they probably had mental health issues anyway. Then goes on to shout about no one caring about her health and the fact that she is shielding.

Not sure how you can say you dint give a fuck about others and then complain that no one cares about yours.

It's awful isn't it how before this, we all understood how it was important to talk about mental health, and now everyone (on MN, obvs not us though because we are actual nice people) is stamping on everyone who dares say that they are struggling

@Shitsgettingcrazy your fringe looks gr at and thanks for pup update

Gr at?

I am really hoping that means great

My fat face looks weird with it so short. But its gonna grow.....not like the Spanish solider will care....not going to see anyone else, am I. 😂😂😂😂

shits your pup's fucking adorable and you're rocking the sweeping fringe.

I admit I washed and blowdried my hair and put some make-up on to go to Tescos. When my only outing in a week is the supermarket down the road, I'm making it count goddamit.

At first that auto corrected to seeping fringe which is an odd mental image.

I think grumpy was saying your fringe looks grrrr eat in the voice of the Frosties tiger.

I think in now understand why Catholic’s go to confession!!

Today I bought some Smarties chocolate orange eggs...they fell in my trolley honest!! I didn’t want to put them back as, hell I’d then handled them. So I’m classing this as both hero and villain 😂

I feel better for confessing my sins though!!

Although I forgot to update on the rhubarb and custard hot cross buns...they were disgusting and went in the bin 😱. Yes I’m fully expecting to burn in hell

think grumpy was saying your fringe looks grrrr eat in the voice of the Frosties tiger

Yes! It does look grrrrrrreat. Eff arsing phone apologies

Hopefully you can comb your leg hair into a similar sweeping style grumpy #experimentingwithnewlooksinthelockdown

Pigeons assuage your guilt by eating the chocolate orange eggs. It's the only way to feel better given the circumstances.

Pretty nice job you did there Shits dont sell yoyrself short.
Puppy is sooo cute.

I am.avoiding a whole lot of threads at the moment its just too depressing how some posters are all over the place giving abuse out just because they are having a shit time and nobody is allowed to feel good or bad as its all about them. Tbh i click on some but leave pdq too because its the same stuff rehashed over and over ad nauseam. Its ruining MN.

I wear make up to go out and work but at home lately i havent even bothered doing my eyebrows! I wear joggers and tshirts no effort required and am loving it😀
