Cry Babies

December 27, 2006 8:42pm CST
Why is there always someone lurking in the shadows that just can't waite to whine about something you do? From what one posts on here, to what choices one makes with their life? Can these people NOT just go on if your doing something they don't like? Why do they think we really want to hear their whines? IMO they are a complete waste of society space. If you don't like my posts, then don't read them. If you don't like my choices, then don't make them yourself. If you don't like anything else about me, don't fool yourself into thinking I care. Have you ever ran accross these types? What do you think? How do you deal with them?

OK, let me first say - I totally agree with you, because I do! I have an issue, a comment, a post, and if you don't like it, just go on about your way. Just because a person is not happy does not mean he/she has to rain on my parade. Now, if I'm asking for advice, it's pretty much open season and I get what I deserve. But stick to the topic, none of this putting me down because I'm in a odd situation. And, secondly, you know I love your posts, but you're whining.... (I'm glad you were able to get it off your chest though!)

Focus on the positive responses and great interaction that you encounter while you are here. Just move on and mentally dismiss anything that might take away your joy...POST ON:}.. .SS

I meant not just here on the forum, but life in general. However your advice does apply. I just can't stop to think why, though.

I think that there are people in the world who, no matter what happens, will always be unhappy. "Misery loves company" so they want to make others around them just as unhappy. Don't let negative people bring you down to their level, just ignore them. I know it's easier to say than do, but it's best just to ignore them if you can.

Way to go sunshinecup! I guess this is in reference to the whiny gal the other day making rude comments about you and your hair brushing post. I agree, if you dont like something then move on with your life! haha There is a difference between debating something and complaning about it. I love to debate, I love to have a different opinion, but when I meet people who just want to start crap, I just laugh it off and ignore them. Remeber we have Karma!

I know I've talked about this before. I hate posting an opinion only to have someone come in and completely trash it and me. A discussion should be just that -- talking back and forth just like we would in person. Of course, sometimes I don't agree with the person, but a discussion involves both those who agree and those who don't. We all have things we are passionate about, and people who object need to make it clear they are attacking someone's position on a topic and not the person themself. For instance, I think it's okay to say "I've read your post and find myself disagreeing with it." as opposed to "How can you print such stupid stuff on mylot? How can you be such an idiot to believe it?"

Yup. They always start discussions telling people to stop posting certain types of discussions and telling them that they have to post a certain amount when they respond to a discussion. Them people just need to get a life and mind their own business. If they don't like the discussion then they don't need to respond to it. They need to mind their business and let mylot take care of it.

The only issue I have is if people are cheating the system, then it's my right as a member of the site that DESPISES CHEATERS TO THE CORE to tell you what I think of your posts. I don't know if you have been doing that, but if you have that would be the only issue I had with you.

I know I just got a reply back on one of discussions that I spelled a word wrong,nothing at all did they say about my topic. I couldnt believe it. I was going to rag on them but said Ok Thanks. As far as these whiners I just ignore them and look for another discussion. Ive noticed there are alot of them too. They are not happy till they can complaine. Hang in there.

I kind of like the cry babies. It gives me something to laugh about. I love picking on them getting them going more. In life however, I just stay away from people who whine and complain all the time. I'm not about to let someone mess up my positive attitude.

I think that everyone is entitle to their opinion, whether you agree with me or not thats cool with me, but at the same time, i feel that people that are oversensitive, or overeact to judgements passed on them here at mylot are also entitled to that luxury. Everybody feels things and takes things differently- thats what makes it interesting. "Cry babies" acn cause conflict, controversy and stimulate some interesting discussions at the same time. At the same time if you are so indifferent to the poor me types, instead of bagging them , take your own advice dont be a cry baby ;) and move on :D

Cry babies are overbearing jerks in my opinon that go out of their way to screw perfectly happy people up. They beleive they are the judge over others. These people, once you look into it, have no lives. They destroyed theres so now they are trying to live someone else's. Sad really, if you think about it.

So keep happy and in a positive mode and then they will not waste your time or mine.

Hi! I've run across a lot of people who fit this description in my life. I've come to the conclusion that some of them just like crises. They can't function unless there is some crisis going on that calls attention to themselves. Personally, I try to steer clear of people like this because they just drain me. I had a friend like this who was just so emotionally draining (everything was always about her, nothing I said even registered with her), I just had to cut my ties with her. She can be a good friend, but I need my sanity more! LOL

When I read a discussion that sounds a little whiney I pass it by. I don't have time for such drivel. I agree with you on your comment that if you don't like my posts, don't read them. In some responses I have received, I have been told it is none of my business; that I monitor everything; that they don't care, etc. Ignore the fools. Enjoy the wise. Huggers to you!

Amen! I had a really bad experience on another message board. This guy kept harping about how much I was posting. He stated he hated me. I said, "Put me on your ignore list." Did he? No, he just kept bashing me. Of course, his family all lived on one street in the most backwoods town in the state, so I'm pretty sure his tree didn't branch. Anyway, exercise some personal responsibility!

You can't change no one or how they feel. If someone decided to put their business out there then let it be. You don't have to respond to them but it sure as hell beat paying for a psychologist when 50 different people telling you DUH, common sense. It is a way to vent for some people! Some people just need reassurance.

yes i have seen lot of "online whining" but isn't that why we have forums like this? i mean u can't always expect intellectual debates. people do want to talk about their problems, just be more compassionate once in a while.it is not that bad.
