how often do your feelings get hurt on the BBMB

[cookiepuss]

Yeah, I don't nessarily mean that it ruins your entire day or that you want to open a vein because of it.

But this is the internet and people say alot of harsh/disrespectful things to eachother.

I think it is just as silly to pretend that it doesn't effect our feelings as it it is to take the board too seriously and get really upset about it.

So how tough is your skin? ;)

[zippo]

i dont understand people that get their feelings hurt over this thing. experiencing other feelings? yes. but feelings hurt? i dont get it.

[mickill]

My feelings are hurt. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

[cookiepuss]

Well perhaps hurt isn't always the best word to use. perhaps more of a feeling of being completely misunderstood, ignored, etc. all of those are unpleasent feelings that could be lumped into the "hurt feelings" category.

[IDIOTSVILLE]

this thread thread is hurting my feelings, when will you inconsiderate people learn (n) :(

[ToucanSpam]

Being called a faggot repeatedly bothers me quite a bit. I'm not gay, so why continue to call me a faggot?

[beastieangel01]

I was going to say hardly ever, but I accidently hit the never option.

I think the only time it stings is when someone that I respected says something about me that is less than complimentary. Of course I get over it in 2 seconds, but there is a tiny owie. That or things I am insecure about, and when they are pointed out I kinda think "shit I know, you don't have to remind me."

But whatever yo. I forget about it and also most of the people here that I give a damn about are good people. If they were to say something about me that wasn't exactly good, it'd be constructive criticism.

[Nuzzolese]

The worst of it is merely being frustrated with misunderstandings, or annoyed or disappointed. It's not quite hurt feelings.

[jabumbo]

the internet is funny sometimes, the rest of the time its just boring

My feelings are hurt. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

yea I get that too but then I realize most of the people on here dont take shit seriosuly anyway to entertain that sort of thinking/opinion

[zippo]

hmm, but its not really about taking shit seriously or not, some of us just get by on different kinds of entertainment

[redhead]

The only real time something "hurt my feelings" here was somebody made fun of my appearance...I'm kinda sensitive about that...

[boys_beastie]

i havnt really put myself into a situation where my feelings could be hurt. but im not that sensitive a guy. :rolleyes:

[guerillaGardner]

I went through my phase of taking anything online seriously. I still get momentarily annoyed; there's another message board I visit now and again where there are two annoying people - one is schizophrenic so she has an excuse, the other is just an arsehole.

Only two posts on this board have annoyed me and I suspect they are by the one person using two different names.

I basically don't have any good expectations of people so they can't generally disappoint or hurt me unless they actually do something to affect the smooth running of my life.

[cj hood]

That hurt your feelings?


who the fuck wants to see that?

[TonsOfFun]

did zippo and gmile say something?

No?

Couldn't of been important anyway!

[TonsOfFun]

In all seriousness - some people take the beastie general and sureshots kinda too seriously, the other boards cus they are specialised are not so for taking the piss. I stopped posting in the beastie general for a few days while that annoying truth or dare shit was going on. Cus it was exactly that. But the music forum and stuff was all good. No wankers flooding the board there. But that was my problem. That IMHO is the best way to deal with shit that comes your way, it natural to react at times to which is why arguments happen but shouldn't really be taken outside your keyboard. And toucanspam is a FAGGOT!

[Audielicious]

G-Mile and I have talked at great length about this topic. We've come to the conclusion that this is probably one of the only messageboards where, when you come to it...instead of getting help for your problems, people just make you feel even worse.

Some of you folks say some harsh shit to people.

[fucktopgirl]

well i go chat on another board too,and i make friends by insulting and beiing hurtfull,,well more like sarcastic and stuff!!

so i think that sometimes that can be funny,insulting,but that have to be done with class or sarcasm

[Chicka B]

I voted sometimes. You all are real people with feelings, it's not like your fake and I'm a robot or something.

[DroppinScience]

I voted the "hardly ever" option. I mean, whenever mickill takes a shot at me I usually just end up laughing because he's so good at it.

There are moments where it can bother you, I won't deny it. I'm speaking more when it becomes "serial" (i.e. when a specific person or persons will go out of their way to insult you repeatedly because they literally have nothing better to do). It becomes: "Am I really THAT interesting to you? Get away, you sociopath."

In the long run, I take disparaging words on here with a grain of salt. 95% of the time, they just ain't worth the effort.

[TonsOfFun]

Every board I've been to is kinda the same. They all hate me. Heh.

I mean sarcasm, 99.9% on here is sarcasm, not matter if it is insulting or saying they think America is a good country.

[serisous to what I think now] Although, I often think as a collective there is (in what I would call) a poor sense of humour on this board. It's like in a previous post and in the past posts I've put 'NO FAT CHICKS' someone has already reacted. I forget who but it seems, rather than laughing it off they'll get pissed and hold it against that person. That is there problem. Stuff like that continues to get the same reaction. Which gives me a cheap laugh. Which is good for me, for someone else it becomes a problem that was put down. But on the other hand there is some quick witted people on this board I haven't found anywhere else that can leave you laughing out loud. While other boards make you crack a smile. Which is why we all come back, otherwise if we thought it was that bad, we'd fuck off and go somewhere else. Only few will ever be missed on this board that are not replaced by others. Or come back as Aliases. Which is why I love this board. I often find myself explaining a post to someone who thinks I'm racist or sexist etc, cus I said I don't want a Ginger kid or NO FAT CHICKS which is the only thing that hurts me cus I have to spend time explaining myself to someone I don't care about but try to explain a point they'll never get. So yeah, the board is good cus of it's contrasting styles which is to be expected from such a large world with so many different customs. [/serious]

[CrankItUp!]

Most things discussed here is just hypothetical bullshit most times anyways - so bfd.

[TurdBerglar]

Being called a faggot repeatedly bothers me quite a bit. I'm not gay, so why continue to call me a faggot?


stop fishing

[TurdBerglar]

i don't really look at you fuckers as human beings so i don't get bothered really

[Tzar]

i voted the bottom never one. (y)

[zorra_chiflada]

i dont' get hurt feelings as such, but i do get pissed at some people's opinions, and the bullshit things they say to defend them.

[paul jones]

what did Michael Jackson say to Macauley Culkin when they went to the movies and Jacko offered Culkin to dip his hand in his popcorn tub?

Some of you folks say some harsh shit to people.

I hear that. Especially when it's unjustified. The only person I've ever attacked is gmsisko, and that doesn't even count. I always respect people on the board, even if I disagree with what they have to say. One or two people have been dicks to me, uncalled for. Yeah, I get upset because it's hurtful. But then I think, this fucker's trying to start shit on a message board. How pathetic is that?

It used to be better, in my opinion. When I was having trouble with Wayne's dad being a jerk about me not being Jewish (not like it's stopped, but that's a different story), I had some good advice and people seemed genuinely wanting to help out with the situation. That was back in 2002, when marsdaddy, KateD, and a few others used to frequent the boards a lot more.

[Audielicious]

I'm usually the type of person who gets their feelings hurt pretty easily. Words can hurt me way more than anything physical, i.e. some of the arguments I've had with my brother. My brother David knows exactly what to say to make anyone feel like complete shit. It's like his gift, or something.

As for this messageboard, I refuse to let what someone says about me on here bother me. I have enough problems. Anyone looking to start shit with someone else on a messageboard, of all places...should probably step away from behind their computer and get out into the real world. Then see if you can say that hurtful stuff that you wanted to say on here to someone in the flesh.

Would you be able to handle the repercussion of that?

[Beckalina]

I agree with Paul Jones.

[ericlee]

I'd type in this thread but holding a shot gun in my mouth kinda requires using two hands
