nope…I haven’t had that happen but if it did, I’d butt them with my jakelope horns!
I really don’t care what folks online think about me FACT.
So you are saying there are mean and dumb people on the internet?
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to make fun of you and I can totally relate (like probably everyone) that sometimes the stupidity of some people can be enraging, but at the end of the day it is what it is… no value in getting offended at random people.
In regards to anime, i think it’s cool, but there have been literal wars fought over anime, so I acknowledge, that there are people who have a hate so deeply seated as some weebs love for it.
That’s kinda the approach you have to take online (and in person to an extent), don’t really take anything personally, learn to ignore stuff and not get worked up over smaller things. There will be those that go out of their way to be an asshole, best way to handle that is to just not really worry about it all that much, realize that what they say doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things and don’t cater to trolls. It’s harder to do at first for sure but eventually it becomes habit. Not to discount the experiences of @K4sh1ma either, just noting that’s something almost everyone on the internet will encounter at least once for whatever reason
The whole profile picture thing I can see how it happens, it’s the only thing people have to work with to put a face/visual to a name, so naturally people that aren’t a fan of a profile picture aren’t going to be as nice to the person behind it, even though it’s rather meaningless/arbitrary in the end (at this point I’m just using whatever garbage someone sends me that I find funny, no real meaning behind it lol)
The best advice is. Just ignore them and don’t respond.
Anything and nothing. Do not respond.
If it actually is a “bully”. Every response and reply is more fuel to the fire.
Then it’s really easy to continue and it will only get worse.
As a person that has been bullied very young. Not even the internet style “dicking around” type, been a bully after i over come the “opponents” by being stronger mentally and really learned the bad mouth. Sometimes still being a real dick and becoming a professional level dick.
And why might someone ask. Cause it’s fun and entertaining.
If some would “dump the trash bag” in my yard situation ever come.
I would respond be ordering the fucking dump-trunk full of shit and trash and dump it back. Just a kind reminder no to ever do it again.
Or very slowly start the “psychological game” what makes them tick. Find out everything about the “target” and Slowly drive em mad and maybe worse…
The goal is not to win but crush the opposite complete to tiny pieces.
But you need to grow first and learn not be triggered about anything. If you want to respond something. There will always be at least 3 types of people. Some that say “f-you” like in a game that does not mean nothing. You just say “i will” again not meaning nothing.
Second ones are the bullies. They actually play with you to see you rage.
And finally the more Professional types that slowly and skillfully will make you jump the bridge. They usually are not the ones you even encounter.
The best advice is. Just ignore them and don’t respond.
Or grow bit more and take it all as funny shit and reply with that. Giving them still nothing and being happy about it.
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience– Mark Twain
Yeah I know, and I think this topic was a bit unnecessary on my part. Maybe it’s because I have been bottling a lot of things lately inside therefore making a decision via emotional instead of a logical one, meaning not posting this one at all.
I mean sure the ignore approach is usually the right thing to do, but you can only ignore so much for everyone has their limits, and I have limits as well.
Yes I agree, most of the time I can ignore most people like that. But the hypersensitivity side of me shows up from time to time, therefore I can only ignore for so long, especially to those who cannot just let it go.
Also, I really don’t get the fact that somehow that “I am trying to be an interesting person” due to the fact I am not aiming to be one, and it all started is because I express that I am not into on what they are into.
But yeah, I should have not posted this at all, though it was a good way releasing some of that from your chest. Then again there is a rant thread, I should have done it there.
We can move it there if you want?
Probably, and thanks for the consideration of some of you people hearing my grievances to this thread. Feel free to delete this post if you want, for I think to begin with, it was unnecessary.
I just reacted without any rational thinking, therefore wasting everyone’s time with this.
Seriously it’s up to you, let it stand as is if you want…your call
Thank you, though I think that is going to be it. I already let it all out after posting this topic.
…idiot… /s
Cool we’ll leave it here then
…idiot…
Don’t worry… sometimes there is a need to vent.
If you actually feel troubled like this often, you can maybe look into cognitive behavioral therapy if you are interested. Honestly I don’t know much about it, but from what I understand, it is similiar to something I did myself in the realms of sport psychology/self-coaching, which was very effective when it came to focusing on the important things and having a better response to situations which would normally upset me.
yes…often there is a need to vent, like after having chili. or chili dog. or chili cheese fries. or really anything that involves basked beans of any sort.
I have not had experiences like that.
Then again, my profile picture is pretty close to “stock standard”.
Can’t really say ive had any bad experiences of this at all tbf and nearly most places I hang out or go no one says anything of if they do its normally just a joke or like hey thats cool I know that character. shrug Just gotta filter who u listen to and who u hang out with. I talk to loads who are into anime and those that just really arnt and dont really get any flac of any. May get called a Weeb a few times but again thats warrented and ngl I find it funny. Other than that nah never really as most places there are as many weebs out there as the so called “normal people with normal hobbies”
All I can say is ignore it and just move on, talk to other people who are like minded or people who dont look at a profile picture and instantly judge an entire person off that, if we did that irl no one would get anywhere would they.
I take it uve been pent up over this post and venting is always a good thing so dont let it get u down and cheer up bud. There is always someone happy to talk about ur hobbies with u even if thats some weeby shit. Nothing beats weebing out hahaha
I agree with this, though I am still working on it, for I had moments that I didn’t realize that they were only joking and it can be hard to tell sometimes from just mere texts, and I already had this perception online that most people that you’re going to meet are going to be assholes anyway. (I used to be one, and I still believe that I can be an asshole from time to time, which I why I prefer not to be and be more a decent being online, despite the privilege of having more anonymity online.)
I only realized it was a joke when someone told me that “Why are you being so defensive all of the sudden?” I mean can you even blame me, when some of your jokes way went too far on how you described me due to my anime profile pic? But yeah, it’s tough to have a sense of humor nowadays, especially when humor is fucked in general in my opinion.
