Why do people feel the need to put people down, keep repeating things in order to get a response and just be irritating? Is it because this is the internet? Because FS is now the new FB with all its drama? Don’t we have enough stress, anxiety and drama in our lives without making more with each other?
I don’t know you. You don’t know me. I thought this was a a supportive app but the last few days it resembles a PreK playground instead. I should know as I’ve spent hours on one and have had to do my share of breaking up arguments and soothing hurt feelings. I’m quite disappointed in you. I won’t name names but yes you. If you are involved then you. If this post offends you then yes, you! These last few days really brings it home how I don’t know you and you don’t know me. I thought I was making friendships but I find I only know half of you. Half of each of you I mean. Some I do feel like I ‘know’ and others now feel like strangers. Again disappointed.
Sorry to go all mom on you but really, you should be ashamed. If my kid was involved I’d bust her ass. Honestly. That’s after a long talk and right before another one. Adults are different but mature adults should act as such. I’m mean really? Some comments lately are just plain ass Fing RUDE and MEAN. If you feel the need to make those comments then please don’t follow me and I’ll stop following you. We are mature responsible adults who should be KIND to others on their journeys.
Final thoughts: if you don’t like what someone posts then why feel the need to comment? You don’t like their food pic then keep scrolling or tell them what you DO like about it. Don’t like someone showing off muscles, a bikini, pants riding a bit too low or a top that’s too tight? The keep scrolling and don’t do the trolling. Be supportive. Be kind. At this point I’m seriously trying to decide if I want to be on an app with people who could be so mean and post such cutting remarks. The empathy in me has be crying for the people on the wrong end of those remarks. The bitch in me wants to knock some heads. The mom in me wants to sit you all down until you’ve worked it out and can play nice again. I’m a mature responsible adult so the mom in me usually wins. Wish I could really play mom here. Would’ve been a much happier place this last week and wouldn’t have hurt so many nice people.

Hmmmm, seems I've been missing some drama. Lucky me! :)

Goodness. You're the third person today I really like here who's mentioned leaving. Please don't. I must be missing the drama too but several are upset and I'm sorry.

As a total outsider who doesn't know what's going on, or give a s*** about what internet people think, let me tell you, getting worked up about it is not worth it. Don't let this bring you down. Distance yourself from the situation, block who you need to block, make private what you need to make private, and keep on doing what you're doing. Who cares about people you'll never meet in person anyway...
Just a thought :) Good luck!

I agree with Immort. I am a rather spiritual person. Karma...a man works for a really bad boss and has a bad day at the office. He brings that energy home and has a fight with his wife. The wife is upset and yells at the kids. The kid gets mad has a fit,and kicks the dog. The dog is now afraid of kids and bites the neighbor child. There is alot of negative energy in your post.....leave the drama where it belongs and do not bring it into your life. ......just a thought...hope you feel better soon.

I had to take a break from reading the posts, myself. Not reading so much now. Enjoying my time elsewhere.

Yes, 2-3 ladies have been very mean and said plenty about other people’s looks. One in particular comments and erases comments. they have gotten even the worst outta me, but I’m trying my best to no comment on their journal or addressed them.

They are not commenting on DIETS but people’s looks and “personalities”

* the positive empathetic feelings you have expressed to others are honorable.

Very important not to feed their rage. Ignore, block, move on. Like Rosio, I’ve gotten sucked in by this bait, but usually on Twitter and not here.

I think dieting losing weight is damn hard work and we should all recognize and support one another even cheer each other on while figuring it all out. I personally just scroll to the next if there is something on there I don't like (usually food if I am fasting) . Having said that, there are a lot of people on here who support and encourage every day. It has gotten me through a few bad days .

How am I missing this stuff?! 🤷🏻♀️ I have no idea what drama is afoot, but this is a gem @peeper “Keep scrolling and don’t do the trolling!” 😂❤️

Peeper, I am in the same boat as some others here, I haven't seen those comments, but I have seen you help out and encourage many on here. Please don't leave. Those leaving mean comments will still be mean, no matter who leaves or stays on this site. Delete them out, no need to give them your time or attention.

Well put! I do notice some people think they have the right to get all up in everyone's business just because they can. From time to time each one of us needs to remember the world does not revolve around us and what worked (or didn't) for us is not the be-all and end-all for everyone. The majority of people here are supportive. The others are rather sad sorts, don't you think?

I’m sorry I wasn’t clear. No mean comments on my posts. I don’t really care what others think of my looks diet etc. Hits to my personality and emotions might be another story lol. But it’s not me people are going after. There are a few new members and older members going after new members and older members. I’ve seen both sides and been on both sides. My counselor said I’m too empathetic because I can feel the pain when I read those posts. That’s why it’s taken a few days since it started for me to say anything. I did distance myself. I can it hardening myself to it. It does cause negative energy which is why I wait until the kids are at school or everyone is in bed then I can relax with a book and forget it all. 😁 Perhaps it’s human nature for the strong to go after the weak like animals do then the weak see a chink in the armor of the strong and go after that. 🤷♀️ I just want everyone happy and well on their way to being the best person they can be whether physically, emotionally or whatever. I have been avoiding some posts and plan to keep doing so over leaving. I’ve taken to searching individual friends on here when I have time. It’s easier on the emotions. :)
