annoyed

hedwig68 • 27 February 2012 at 7:27 PM

You known it gets kind of annoying when you will just be exploring Egg Cave and you will come across a person who is moping about a bad day and how they are depressed or things like that. Like I'll just be exploring in a happy mood but then I'll come across a user moping about their bad day and it will make me feel kind of depressed. Post here if you agree.

I agree this is no place to talk about such deppresing things

dreamer • 27 February 2012 at 7:30 PM

If this isn't the place to talk about your life then where else should you? No one's life is perfect. I don't see why people try hiding from the truth.

hedwig68 • 27 February 2012 at 7:39 PM

@dreamer

You could talk to a friend or something. You shouldn't post that kind of stuff on here alot of people just want to have fun on here not hear about how depressing your day was.

marie_lily • 27 February 2012 at 7:41 PM

@hedwig68

You can just ignore it. You don't have to get into people's lives. :-/

silver • 27 February 2012 at 7:43 PM

@dreamer

i sort of have to agree with you, but people shouldn't drag others down with them. I believe it's necessary to talk to others and/or to heal a heart, but its not exactly a good thing to post your entire life on a website full of people you've never met but online.

doll • 27 February 2012 at 7:43 PM

You're actually posting your feelings right now on how annoyed you are~ x3
Anyway, let them post their feelings. Don't be bothered by it. Some people have no where to go to let out their feelings to people and to seek advice. Not even a friend.

hedwig68 • 27 February 2012 at 7:43 PM

@marie_lily

I know but I am just saying that my opinon is that people shouldn't put stuff like that on here.

marie_lily • 27 February 2012 at 7:45 PM

@hedwig68

I guess it depends. Personally, I don't mind. I post my feelings truthfully on here too. >.<

icymuffin • 27 February 2012 at 7:46 PM

Then what? Shut it away like nothing happened?
Yeah, like that's going to solve every problem.

You see, maybe there are things that shouldn't be brought up here. But for some people, Egg Cave is where they seek help. Maybe it's something RL friends can't help with. Maybe it's for friends you have on Egg Cave.
Telling them to shut their mouth isn't going to make them feel any better. If you don't want to be brought down, then try not to read it. Neither will get hurt.
Of course, there are times when this can't be avoided.

hedwig68 • 27 February 2012 at 7:50 PM

@icymuffin

I am not asking for them to bottle it up. But somethings you just shouldn't post online. Like I went to one players page and their status was 'Had a bad day today I think I might commit suicide.' You shouldn't post stuff like that on here.

icymuffin • 27 February 2012 at 7:52 PM

@hedwig68

That? That's just asking for drama.
Of course, you don't see that often enough from many people to take it seriously, in my opinion.

cafe • 27 February 2012 at 7:53 PM

Hey @doll 😸

I think if someone feels comfortable enough with people on eggcave, they should be allowed to voice their woes. I'd rather seek comfort from my online friends than my real friends. I haven't really spoken to any of the I'm weeks.

silver_winged • 27 February 2012 at 7:54 PM

People just do it because they want attention or sympathy. It doesn't bother me too much, but I do think it's immature.

icymuffin • 27 February 2012 at 7:58 PM

@cafe
Agreed :I
I for one can say that I feel more comfortable telling certain things to online friends than RL ones.


There are many sides to people. And not all people do it for sympathy or attention. Some of them might actually need help.
The only problem, I think, is that sometimes we can't tell the difference. Or that those who do actually need help we choose to ignore.

You are posting about your feelings right now -c-

ladybugheart • 27 February 2012 at 8:01 PM

I personally think it's perfectly fine to post things like that here on Egg Cave. While users shouldn't spill their entire life into the internet, sometimes you just need to let out your feelings. Many people feel uncomfortable to talking to the people they know in real life, or might not have anyone they can really trust to talk to. These topics aren't preventing anyone from continuing to have fun. Nobody is forcing you to read about another user's bad days or rants; if you dislike them, simply skip over the topic once you realize what it's about. Although I do agree that users shouldn't be dragging others down with them, I don't think that's what most of them are aiming for. Honestly, people who post topics about their bad day aren't stopping you from having fun on Egg Cave. If they're too depressing, there's no need to read them.

hedwig68 • 27 February 2012 at 8:04 PM

@icymuffin

I get what your saying and I understand how sometimes you feel more comfortable to tell your online friends rather than your RL friends. But you could always PM them or something instead of posting so the whole world can see it. And I agree with @silver_winged that it is immature.

silver_winged • 27 February 2012 at 8:06 PM

It may sound a little harsh, but it is my personal opinion that if you have no real life friends or family you can talk to about serious things, then you need to get off the computer and find some. Complicated personal issues should only be dealt with by people you know and trust. Again, just what I think. Nobody go attacking me for it. XD

icymuffin • 27 February 2012 at 8:06 PM

@hedwig68
Welp. Believe & say what you want, but in my opinion you're doing exactly what you say is immature right this very moment.




@silver_winged
Real life friends are different from online friends. And family is different for each person. I would never tell my parents the same thing I tell my friends.
Each of the three will know something the other two won't.

linpug • 27 February 2012 at 8:07 PM

It annoys me when people post how annoyed they are D:


XD JK

cafe • 27 February 2012 at 8:12 PM

@silver_winged


Thanks, but I do have social life. It's an online one and I'm perfectly content.

And id rather voice my sorrows with my friends online, than voice them to someone who I can't trust but know in real life. From personal experience, more than once, I can safely say I trust people online more.

dreamer • 27 February 2012 at 8:13 PM

Would you rather someone bottle up their emotions and then blow up some where in the real world, or would you want them to talk about it here and get some help? As said, you don't need to read these topics if you don't like them. Ranting about it just creates more of an issue. We have freedom to our own words. If we can't even post how we feel, then that would be outrageous. While I do agree that people shouldn't post their life stories here, it's perfectly fine with me to share your issues. That's all I can say.

The thing that annoys me most is when people complain about what others are saying. Maybe you're having fun right now, but other people aren't.

I do agree with @Cafe's post above. I have friends in real life, but I'm more comfortable talking it out here. Where people can't judge me in the face. From past experiences, I don't trust people. I have grudges against counselors at school. I'd tell them everything, ask them not to call my parents, and expect them to be kind. But then the next day my mom's complaining about how I went to a counselor at school.

Can't turn to teachers, can't turn to rl friends, where else?

zafeyry • 27 February 2012 at 8:17 PM

@cafe

Not trying to be mean, but I think you should try to work on building relationships in the real world. I think you should at least trust one person enough to talk to them face to face, it's different than typing on your computer.

hedwig68 • 27 February 2012 at 8:18 PM

I agree with @silver_winged and being here online is not as important as having real friends.

icymuffin • 27 February 2012 at 8:21 PM

@zafeyry
But it's -different-. Don't you see?
Some people won't ever think the same way you think. Therefore, they won't feel the same way about talking to real life friends than online.


I personally would feel indignant if anyone told me to get better relationships in RL. My friends and I are really close. One of them, we're practically twins. But there are things I wouldn't ever tell her. Offer me $100000, or whatever you can pull out, I wouldn't tell her zip.
And no doubt, she feels the exact same way. There are still many things I can't pry out of her.

It's just different.

toy • 27 February 2012 at 8:24 PM

This is why most of the adult users stay away from the forums.

cafe • 27 February 2012 at 8:24 PM

Nah, I'm perfectly content with my friends. I've know @doll for about 5 years, and @xxcrayolademonxx for 2

I'm not looking for people to tell me I need to get a social life

To be honest, most people annoy me in real life because we have nothing in common. Here, I know I know my friends have something I can talk about with.

And, just to assure you, my therapist says an online social life is fine, because they're real people.

doll • 27 February 2012 at 8:28 PM

@cafe

Exactly. ^^
The only difference is that you are both behind computer screens, because we're still humans with feelings and opinions of our own..

masquerade • 27 February 2012 at 8:34 PM

If you don't like a user's thread, don't read it, and don't comment on it. It's as simple as that.
