Real people?

Am I a horrible person because I doubt the veracity of some of the posts by newbies on this board lately? Or have I just become cynical?

    Sometimes I think TB makes sh!t up, honestly. I still choose to treat everyone as a real person. You never know.

    This. Most of the time when the stories seem too far out I still feel the need to respond nicely. Some people put themselves in really bad places and don't have anyone IRL to encourage them to change it.

    I've noticed this a lot as well, even if I am considered a newbie myself. Sometimes it's easier just to nod and skip the posts - even in my birth month club. My story seems off, but at least I know I'm telling the truth on it. Oh well though. You never know with some people.

    It's not the way out there part actually because I fully believe life can be effed up, it's the way the posts read like they are meant to convey emotion that the writer isn't actually feeling. Maybe it's just me. And I have not said one negative thing in a post, rainbow squad!

    And lol at "rainbow squad." That should totally be a badge to put in our siggies.

    That's actually a hilarious and good idea: a SP badge incorporating rainbows and puppies.

    I haven't noticed them so much here as on my BMB lately. It's just strange to me tar someone would post for the first time in their fifth month of pregnancy and only talk about the horrible parts of pregnancy or their life. I get needing support, but some people put it all out there! We had one last week who hated her unborn child and wanted sympathy. Well, not really the place ya know?

    I too try to treat everyone with respect and don't disrespect people because you never really know.
