Why do some feel the need to be so hurtful in this community (pregnancy/parenting)?

I asked a question earlier today about a simple behavior my daughter was having while feeding. I received an appauling answer by another apparent mother.





What do people get out of crappy answers? Attention?Why do some feel the need to be so hurtful in this community (pregnancy/parenting)?
yes I have noticed that too. I think a lot of the mothers tend to be judgmental rather than answering the question asked. I'm sorry you've gone through that.





You wouldnt believe how many times I've been crucified on here for saying that I'm not going to breastfeed...Why do some feel the need to be so hurtful in this community (pregnancy/parenting)?
It probably just makes them feel better. It is very easy to sound mean %26amp; tough on the internet.


I get alot of that on Ebay too..
I guess they feel since they dont know you they can just be mean, and get there frustrations out on strangers just ignore em, there are way more nice people here anyway EXCEPT IN RELIGION AND SPRITUALITY there all mean
some people, regardless if they are actual parents or not, just seem to have that kind of attitude. Possibly they were just having a bad moment or they are generally b****es!


Do your best to raise yourself above their childish antics and look for the support of the mothers that actually give meaningful advice.
bc they are just plain mean.... i ask questions all the time and they give me some really mean answers too. and have you noticed that when you give a really good helpful answer you get lots of thumbs down? some people are just mean.... oh well. let them play i say... it doesn't affect my day. good luck with your daughter!
Yes. I only hand out appauling answers to people that display a lack of empathy or intelligence.
yeah i dont know?? people have nothing better to do with their time, and if it makes them feel better, then so be it, i guess. i try not to let them get to me.
i asked a question too and this guy told me i needed to learn how to spell and use complete sentences. I did i just didnt capiatlize. they have nothing else better to do
There are some nasty people out there. Even some who post of the ';not sure if its real'; post. It could be real in all cases and should be treated as that..Even if its sick or weird, it should be said that the need help and should seek a doctor instead of poking fun...what if its real! :) Im sorry you got nasty answers..some people have no hearts.





take care!
After attention...bordeom...immaturity...name it?
They get to pass their own negativity onto others, which is unfair, but happens anyway. Just ignore it and stay positive.





Take care!
Because they think they are funny. Don't worry though! You can also report it!
points...
People are judgmental, know it alls, holier than thou? Anything is possible - cyber space is full of opinionated folks. Sometimes people don't even realize that their tone is perceived as rude.
I think its mainly because they get their 2 points whether their answer is helpful or not. Unless it's reported. And for some people, they enjoy being smartasses much more than being helpful
Unfortunately it is the way of the internet :( People just aren't as helpful as you think they are. And worst is that they get nasty about it. I apologize that you had to go through that.
