Have you ever had your e-feelings hurt?

Manderlin923 · December 2009

I admit, I'm probably too sensitive (irl too not just on here) and I've had mine hurt a couple times. From a ginormous food post flaming in first trimester (cinnamon bun ice cream anyone?) to the one star post I got today, I've let myself get bothered by it. I know not everyone is going to like everyone and there are people here that I like more than others, but still....there's that childish part of me that wants everyone to like me because I really am a nice person. Stick out tongue

So, be honest, have you ever had your e-feelings hurt on the Bump?

purple_posies · December 2009

I always want everyone to like me. It sucks. Big time.

sam19 · December 2009

yes. I have one thing that sticks out in my mind from the knot that made me change my name and made me a little nervous about posting on the bump for a while. They got really personal in their attacks though. Of course, it was partially my fault for posting way too much info. I learned my lesson the hard way.

oh, God no.

There's no way in hell I'd submit my insecurity over weight & fashion on my blog if I did.

::shrugs:: I prefer to get my panties in a twist over people I know.

kittykatlover · December 2009

Yes, once.

I dont have feelings

Big Smile

Heather & Nayt · December 2009

Not really, if it was IRL i would, I am a major people pleaser. but on here its not likely anyone will ever meet me so what ever. Its kinda nice. But i do understand what you are saying, I am still new here and I want people to like me too!

I sold my e-feelings to buy diapers. A long, long time ago.

christin3580 · December 2009

I think I took people to seriously on the tri boards.. and I stuck up for JCM alot cus her and I had alot of the same parenting styles pre birth, if that makes sense.. and I could never figure out why she just got slammed over and over again ... I got yelled at by red and for some reason I waslike eff this board.. then I realized its the internet.. something to do.. now I really dont care ...

krstokes · December 2009

Honestly, yes. Then I put on my big girl panties and realized that what some e-stranger says or thinks is crap-sh!t!!!

Yeah, I guess I need to get a pair of those lol...

And I find it ironic that this post was given a one star. Sorta thought that would happen...

I 5 starred it.

Dont feel bad

ladyjester · December 2009

Yes, but like pp and op said, I'm probably a little too sensitive IRL too. I have never been attacked on TB (that I know of). It's usually just when I post something I think is really clever or funny and then

::::::insert cricket sounds here::::::

nothing

Well, I thought my Star Wars joke was funny.....

Soap1 · December 2009

I think it's terrible that people will say things on the internet that they would never, ever say in real life. People hide behind anonymity.

I try not to let things get to me over the internet, but really it's just another form of interacting socially. Why don't the typical rules about manners and being kind apply?

MrsGibson07 · December 2009

Sure, a time or two, but it was a long time ago when I first started bumping. I felt worse that I hurt someone else's e-feelings once. I am not one to be snarky or mean and one time a 1st tri-er asked a really stupid question and I simply posted "are you seriously asking or is this MUD" and she got fired up and then all of these other people started attacking her for getting her panties in a twist and the post got out of control. Oops. I was honestly asking her if she was being serious because she had asked if we thought she was pregnant. Indifferent

lol at cricket noise... I know what you mean though. It's worse when you have a TON of views on a post and only 1 reply. That happened to me once when I awed my birth slide show.

Happens to me ALL the time!

ladyjester · December 2009

Good to know I'm not the only one.

Sometimes, if I see a post that has 0-1 replies, I will reply to it just so that person doesn't feel e-rejected.

Cuz I'm nice like that.

I get the crickets sometimes.

I get more frustrated when something I've said is misunderstood or taken the wrong way (ie: my "favorite other babies on the bump" post that got turned into waaay more than it should have been a few weeks ago). I was honestly just trying to tell grinsandgiggles and trixie that I thought their babies were really cute, and I thought maybe some other people would be pleasantly surprised if someone complimented their LO, but it got turned into all this mess and several people commenting how it was a terrible idea and could only end badly, etc.

I've come to realize that when I mean to be sarcastic on the internet it will probably not come off that way, and when I am being genuine somehow it comes off as sarcasm or trying to start shiz. I really do not dwell on it. I find my experience on this board valuable in so many ways, entertainment being the least of them.

gizmo909 · December 2009

Yes, recently. It's the reason I've stayed away from most of TB recently.

Your LO is super cute! He looks like Mark Wahlburg. And I mean that in a good way! I've never had my feelings hurt. I've been really aggravated though and disliked people on here.

That really happened? How silly!!! Nothing bad can happen as long as you only say nice things!

Aw, thanks lol though that's funny 'cause yesterday someone said he looks like Heath Ledger. Guess I have a celebrity look alike baby! Your LO is cute too!

cupcake_queen · December 2009

hasn't happened

rebus82 · December 2009

Yes. Mainly in those "whose baby is cutest" posts. I know B is never mentioned not because he's not cute (I mean, yeah I think he's cute, but he also gets complimented IRL all.the.time.) but probably because most people don't remember my SN when those posts happen. Nothing I should be bothered over, but it does sting when it makes one feel like an invisible poster with an ugly baby despite being on here every damn day

I can't say I've ever been personally offended/insulted by anyone, other than a right proper flaming way back in the day.

He makes me crazy... · December 2009

um yes...and I was really open about it in my "lame feelings confession". I'm like you...wanting to be liked because I'm a really nice person.
