Mean people are all over the place so, whatcha' gonna do?
This is a pretty serious topic for me and I don't find it funny.
To answer your question I try to avoid mean people by picking my friends and who I come in contact wisely. I only have a few people in my life because of that. In the past I had a few more friends but I had to get rid of them because they became toxic.
I deal with some mean very people during my commutes to work which is 32 miles each way in mostly heavy traffic. What I do is stay out of their way so that will help them on their way.
If I encounter them in the work place I do the same - stay out of their way.
I do not like some of the meanness that goes on in life and that includes here on City-Data. Some are more sensitive than others, especially if they are going through a down time. I'm going to do a better job in order to avoid such people in the future, like staying away from certain boards and topics.
That is something I can control.

Reason: typo
And for every validation, there is a nasty person who makes mean and rude comments. Which, frankly, I find hurtful. So I would never post anything that is giving me stress and ask for validation again, based upon that. Not safe here, this is the Internet, there are some mean evil people just looking to cause pain and feel superior in their own pathetic little lives.
Yep, a great post and reminder for "real life" as well.

Not all people are toxic but kuddos on your decision. Here, I'll send you a friends request to remind you of your new awakening and help support your decision.
Yes, that is exactly what people do in this forum.
This forum also tends to attract those people seeking attention, whether it's because they have no real lives or because they're just plain ol' attention wh*res, and people who see nothing wrong with revealing super intimate details of their lives with total strangers who don't really give a crap about the poster (and why should they give a crap about someone they know nothing about?).
Given the number of times I've gotten hostile responses because I didn't EMBRACE the advice being given to me, I would say yes. While I consider all contributions, I only use the ones that fit me and some people get downright mad over that. Like how DARE I post asking for advice and then not just stand in AWE of their great wisdom.
Yes I think some come here to post to get affirmation. I also think people come here to vent. And some come because they're lonely IRL. People have all kinds of reasons for posting.
Oh yeah.. and you are the same person that said Elliot Rodgers posted here as well!! GADS! Did he? That really really CREEPS ME OUT because I think he was here ( before I was here) but why did you say something that I kinda of knew but is so damn painful? Because I kinda think he did as well?
I guess he had the right to post here.. but that is a really creepy feeling.
Yeah, there was one of those whiny virgin guys in his early 20's, really ranting about stuck-up blonde women. They finally banned him after a few hysterical posts.
The fact no one has repped or commented on my previous posts is really starting to bother me....
Couldn't resist....
