I posted about my depression and people here were amazing, I was really humbled. Since then I've been posting my chat rainbow daily and joining any 'find a friend' topics.

Always trying to sprinkle joy into people's lives! If you can make someone smile by being nice y'all should do it, as the OP said, you never know what they could be going through and what a difference it might make.

There are some truly lovely and caring people here, and when I've been having a hard time I've been so surprised and moved by the people who have messaged to check on me.

A lovely thread OP, as always.

I'm a big believer in it too. But always find it easier to throw sarcastic attempts at humour out there than a bit of care and compassion. A lovely reminder op... Thanks and bought a smile to my face.

So true.

Received abuse off a stranger on here the other night, just decided they wanted to point out I’m unattractive and fat. Silly woman! Like I haven’t been called that before, haha. However, what if I was in a vulnerable place and it sent me back to my old friend, I can’t afford to be ill again- I have two dependents, one severely autistic. My life is so stressful, this year, in particular, has been horrible at times.

Being cruel, just for the sake of it, speaks of a weakness of character and a rather pathetic attitude. I’d hate to be that person! I’d rather look in my apparently deceptive mirror and see a fat me, than look in it and see an ugly personality x Viv x

Exactly! They started off being so nice, asked how I was, and then decided to say they were messaging me to tell me I was fat, sent edited pics of me to back it up, as my mirror is deceiving me.

Who knows, it’s not easy to converse with someone who has contacted you simply to abuse you. I didn’t insult them back, as what would that achieve, but didn’t want to continue the conversation, just to receive more abuse.

They may not be going through anything, other than boredom and have the sort of narcissistic personality that makes them try to hurt others.

Whatever the reason, I would never dream of being cruel just to alleviate my issues, but we’re not all made the same. I just hope that they find a more constructive way to get over it xx

Thank you x I have to admit, having Inked give me support and helping me see me through his eyes, has helped. Please don’t visit your old friend, no matter what life throws at you, some friendships are meant to be broken.

That's awful! I despair of some people...You are a stunning lady, not just in looks but how you come across in your posts. Jealousy is an ugly trait

I recently found out someone has been chatting shit about me in these behind the scenes chat groups...I'd rather distance myself than call them out because their attention seeking personality would love playing the victim.

I applaud this attitude but its mighty difficult to maintain in the face of unkindness directed towards you. Being kind to someone who is nice, friendly and smiley is easy. Being kind to a spitting, snarling bundle of hurt, discontent and unhappiness who is horrible to you is way more difficult.

Especially if your own reserves are empty, because of stress in your own life. Taking on the pain of others and trying to help them is empathetic, but shouldn’t be at your own cost. Ive learned that the hard way, in my real life, so on a public forum where you are not face to face, may be attacked straight away, so don’t have the background info or the time to get to the bottom of the anger, isn’t always possible, or sensible. We can all only take so much.

Not being horrible in the first place is the answer. Repairing damage isn’t always easy, so better not to cause it in the first place x (idealistic, I know) x

Yep. I tend to ignore nastiness directed at me while acknowledging that I have days when I'm less than charitable.

This makes me so angry. How dare people believe they can take out their own problems/insecurities/evilness on others through pretty much anonymous messaging! We need to be talking about this a whole lot more so when that vulnerable person does get one, they realise they are one of many and don’t (hopefully) feel too down about it.

I thought the rules were not to name names? Isn’t it important that we all know that virtually all of us have received unkind messages? Welcome to the real world.

"Ive had so many mental health issues in the past few years, still struggle now, but people dont realise how much, even just a smile, can change someones day. A compliment, a smile, even a hello can perk a persons mood up very easily. "

A message i can relate to. Also suffered over the years, it's amazing what a small bit of kindness can do for improving your day. But unfortunately the negative comments last far longer.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind. (my friends t-shirt says this)

It definitely is. Makes such a difference knowing it can happen to anyone. Those kind of messages can do a lot of damage.

Is there not a certain irony here with people being spoken about in derogatory terms? If we're going to be kind shouldn't we be kind to everybody?

But we don't know what the knowingly unkind people are facing or have been through. I know that a lot of people suffering from depression can be horribly unkind.

Because maybe they are hurting more? We’ve all reacted badly at one time or another, and sometimes maybe it needs a bit of compassion and understanding

Don't! You'll end up like me and if nothing else that should be a terrible warning

On a serious note "be understanding" might be my motto because even when I can't be kind i can try and understand

Been there done that. In the early days of the web had a massive melt down on a couple of forums where I ended up being really nasty. It all got out of hand. Looking back over it it was because I was entering a major depression.

This is the first forum I've posted to in years because of that.

I have learnt to walk away if I notice the signs appearing.

I've tried to be nice and understanding with people and had it thrown back in my face.

Generally, no. We should be able to rise above it and be nice to everyone but that is an ideal world and it's also depends on how much you've taken from that person before you have to say enough is enough.

Personally I try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt but that's bitten me in the arse more than once and I have a limit.

Understanding works up to a point and then some see it as a weakness. Manipulators work with all tricks and no, I don’t believe they should be able to rely on the good will and understanding of others to do what they want.

I often look at your profile (because i’m a nosey trout and quite like your forum posts) and i have always thought you were very pretty. You have a lovely figure and beautiful eyes.

I don’t know why someone would send you such a horrible message, but take no notice. You’re a beaut.

Seen so many threads lately that are about a "topic" but essentially thinly disguised jealousy, insecurity and bitterness and I've been sat here pondering and wondering why nobody ever looks at motivation from these folk.... "Why are ppl meeting, why has the forum changed, why does nobody like me anymore?" - the clue is your thread title and content, innit....

Obv not this thread Tes, it's a genuinely nice thread, I think you're lovely. Just there's so many internally ugly ppl around at the moment wanting to level the beautiful ones - it makes me sad..... Just be kind regardless and then it'll come back to you, innit....
