Is it normal that people are soooooooooo mean?

Hi everyone,
Greetings from Boston, USA.
I found this site merely by accident recently, and I read many threads and questions and Id like to add my two cents. It seems when some people are at their breaking point, and spilling out their deepest feelings, some find pleasure in attacking them, and being purely mean. I think they should be ashamed of themselves.
for example, there was a young man who was suicidal, felt like trash and very depressed, and instead of people comforting him and being kind, people attacked him and treated him like garbage.
I think some people are lacking a heart, and need therapy.
Very sad indeed.
and I will say, NO ITS NOT NORMAL TO TREAT OTHERS LIKE TRASH

Is It Normal?

    I also found this site by accident, and I'm glad I did. I have never trashed anyone - except for those who abuse animals and such. But they deserved it. Seriously. If anyone is that low to hurt a poor innocent animal, they deserve to be slammed!!

    Anyway not everyone on here is mean. Welcome to the site, and I hope you enjoy the good stories... and the good people! :)

    boston is an old stomping ground of mine. boy do i miss it! especially the north end.

    i think it's easy to be mean and nasty where nobody can see your face and slap it! therefore, some are more mouthy and nasty than they'd be in person.

    they are just cowardly jerks.

      Said it before I could. It's still hard to believe that some people can be so sickening.
      Just take a look at this for example:

      http://isitnormal.com/story/help-i-have-an-abusive-husband-28472/#comment-320420

      To think that people can be so hateful and jeering...it's disgusting.

          Heh, I'm just giving certain examples that stick in my mind. I couldn't forget them even if I wanted to.

          Here's another one:

          http://isitnormal.com/story/i-am-not-proud-to-be-an-american-right-now-37548/

          Already on the first comment, you can see the sort of thoughtless, vile rubbish that we have all come to know and loathe.

          There are people who write things on here simply for a bit of support. Who knows what kind of mental state they are in. All I know is that anyone asking for some kind of help on a website may potentially be in a very vulnerable position. So when I see these kinds of things, it's completely shocking. It makes me sick to think that there are people who may feel worthless or even commit suicide because of the idiocy and foolish insensitivity of ignorant twats on the internet.

          Author, thank you for bringing this topic up. You hit the nail right on the head when you said:

          "I think some people are lacking a heart, and need therapy.
          Very sad indeed.
          and I will say, NO ITS NOT NORMAL TO TREAT OTHERS LIKE TRASH"

          Unfortunately, when people don't see their own insensitivity, it's nigh on impossible that they will change their ways and see their faults. But that doesn't stop others - the majority, I hope - from making up for it by having a heart.

    Thank you. I found this site by accident as well and I love to help those who really need help. Sure 90% of this site is filled with stupid comments but I stay to help those who need it.
    --------
    And then I am attacked for every comment or story that I write. Just wait and see it start here as well now that I wrote on it.

    I just take it with a grain of salt and let it give me strength to be better than them. I won't give up or change even if I am outside of the 'norm for doing so.

    Thank you for taking a note and even if you aren't refering to me, I have seen lots of examples of what you are saying outside of my stories so I see your point. It is truly sad.

      Bud, how can you be such an unbelievable and total hypocrite and liar-- sobbing away like poor-li'll-ole-YOU are the victim -- while constantly belittling women as "skanks" and making racist slurs all over this site.

      Oh - and since this isn't your post, you can't erase mine.

      So bite me. Pig.

      I agree with you. It shouldn't be normal, but unfortunately it seems to be the way to go for most. Wouldn't it be great if people could be nice? I found this site by accident as well and I hope people can give me helpful comments to my posts and not mean spirited replies.
