Rants: Everyday Venting

[Cecilia Peromi]

I still don't understand...

I still don't understand...

There's not much to understand.

OT: I'm tired of people just complaining without offering constructive criticism or suggestions to improve things.

Yeah it gets annoying when people are just pricks

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, how am I suppose to improve if you just say "YOUR A FREKEN JERK THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT (even though it isn't) YOU DID THIS....     and then never offer the reason why.

[Cecilia Peromi]

That's why I always attempt to help people who rant on here.

I used to do that but then everybody stabbed me in the back and I found out who my friends are

I'm sorry to hear that, Kalen it seems like a lot of people hurt you. I hope I never become one of them.

Seems like you're not actually allowed to use this thread for what it's supposedly for. I complained about issues around here driving me away when I used to like this place in general, then the exact thing I was referring to happens.

It's really impossible to do this sort of thing on most relevant threads.

OT: Made a long rant thread about today but, still have to say it sucked something terrible.

When you're finally opening up to people about your emotions and past experinces, only to get a passive-aggressive  "K" as a response, or just a half-assed "I'm sorry".

I also can't stand it when people type an entire post in all caps, even if it's just one sentence.
Emphasis doesn't work when everything is emphasized.

There's Italics for emphasis  or you can always use 'single quotes' actually there are MANY ways to do emphasis beside caps. but yeah it just looks like your SCREAMING you little head off to be annoying if you type in all caps.

THat hits home to me.

To be honest, sometimes it's hard to respond to things like that, and they might even be worried that if they give a more detailed response it might be misinterpreted as offensive. The "K" thing is stupid, but an "I'm sorry" in that situation CAN be sincere. I guess it depends on the specific trouble and the person.

OT: It's a shame that people feel the need to lie about themselves online. I understand not going into detail about specifics or just acting as a character roleplay-style, but having a whole elaborate identity that is almost entirely fictional but played as real life is a bit screwed up.
For example, I had a mate who was once in a long distance relationship with a guy for a couple years, and that guy turned out to be a 16 year old kid completely lying about himself. He had this whole "character" planned out with enough detail that you couldn't even tell it was fabricated.
I found out another person or two might be pulling the same crap, and even scamming people with it. Can't trust anyone anymore.

[MarciCoyote]

Of course its sincere, but that's it. I write paragraphs of text to someone explaining exactly what's going on and they just say "I'm sorry". Please tell me I  not the only one who thinks that's rude.
If they don't know how to handle the situation, they're better off not saying anything because it just makes me feel worse.

True, usually it's just for attention.
They feel like their real lives are so boring that they feel the need to do stuff like that. And then they can start to believe it's true, like if someone is lying about how they have Bipolar Disorder, they start to feel, ever so slightly, like someone who actually has the condition. They expect to be treated like they have it IRL too, even though it's a complete lie.

I know because I was like that when I was a preteen. I didn't create an entire story separate from my real life, but I tended to exaggerate things, especially when describing how I looked. But I learned from that and moved on.

I really wanted to hang out with someone tomorrow, so I asked 3 people, two of them said they were busy and one said they weren't, but now he's cancelled. So dunno what to do tomorrow.

I bought I guess a decent amount of groceries?? But the reality of it is that it'll probably only last a week before we're out of food again.

[Cecilia Peromi]

That's just how groceries work Kitty. My aunt buys them every week too.
