Men treat me like shit then apologize straight after

It's so annoying. This is online, which I realise is "not a big deal" and I should just get off if I can't handle it or whatever. It's not just random trolls though. It's people I have nice chats with, exchange lots of personal info, then suddenly they turn to an asshole for no reason! Then like 5 minutes later they are apologizing profusely for it and say they are just joking. I can take a joke as well as the next guy, but they are not funny at all. Just verbal attacks against me. I do not even care to repeat them here . Even dark humor is one of my favorite types, but this goes beyond that to an almost sociopathic level (which i would understand if theyre trolling, but this is after sharing their verifiable personal info and lots of genuinely deep conversations with me!) They just make me angry beyond belief, one of them even made me cry. But then 2 minutes later he was desperately searching for me to apologize and even gives me nice things. Wtf is this a common thing for guys to do?

    Honestly, I've seen this offline and online. I seriously despise it too because all it is is just some guy who likes to be controlling and hateful and is testing the waters by seeing just how far he can go just to get away with it later by apologizing or giving some excuse. I've also seen this from females too believe it or not. Either way, it seems normal enough to be very common but I wish people would have more self respect to not let it happen. Everyone deserves a piece of mind and if anyone, even a best friend, has tendencies like what you've described then I believe they should be forced to either stop or find someone else to talk to. No one should have to deal with this and even if its just that they were having a bad day, they don't have to take it out on others and it isn't others' fault either.

  • You have every right to feel upset about being treated like crap by people you thought you could trust. It doesn't matter if it's the Internet or not, it doesn't give them the right to sporadically act like a cunt.

    There are a LOT of immature and developmentally delayed folks on the Internet, it's a haven for them where they can find some acceptance they're lacking in real life. Just be more careful about who you invest your emotions in because you're too nice of a person to let jerks like that make you feel so shitty.

    Well, from the comments you've made about your situation I would say that the main problem is that you let these guys stay. I mean, you stated that you speak to both nice and bad guys, so why not only speak to the nice guys? Why can't you kick the bad ones out?

    There is a reason as to why people do the things they do. So there is a reason why you let them stay once they flip on you. Are you hoping they'll go back to what they were? Do you not have much self-respect? Do you want to be the one to change them?

    Don't get me wrong, everyone goes through rough patches and takes their frustration out on those they care about. But if this is happening regularly then it's something you need to find a solution to.

    I would not like to think of this as normal...
    ...but maybe you're just one of those types of people that are fun to tease.
    ...maybe your personality gives people that impression.
    ...it's easy for them to take it too far though.

    That, or you just happen to have the misfortune of running into a lot of assholes.

    Maybe try asking them why they did it.

        • Depends what you mean by nice.. I've had bad experiences with "nice" guys too (actually made a story about that here as well) in fact the reason I start out liking these guys is because they're nice, they just seem to go crazy for no reason.

            There is an old saying that goes something like this, "If one person tell you that you have a tail I wouldn't worry about it but if ten people tell you that you have a tail I would take a look back there." I mean no offense but I still believe there is something from your past or from your relationship with your parents that is attracting you to people who are verbally abusive.

            • They only thing I can think of is that I look up to my parents very much, maybe I have a too strong relationship with them, they have always been like my best friends, because I have trouble socializing in real life. My dad used to criticize me a lot if i did stupid things but he was still nice other times so I figured it was normal, and my mom is just very neurotic- over protective and judgmental, but also nice and just wanted the best for me. These days I do anything just to please my parents, because on my own I really have no direction. But they are both good parents IMO,better than most, not abusive, smart, gave me everything I needed and more, unless you can fault them for mental disorders and passing on poor genes, but Nobody's perfect

              So, what say you, ms Freud?

              Also, wouldn't the seeking out of abusive men only count in real life relationship? I do not seek out any men in real life, it's too hard for me.

    What type of site are you doing this on? Define "personal information"? How soon in the "relationship" do you reveal this information?

    Maybe, you should get off that site. Or, in general, be cautious about what type of personal information you give out and who too. It could be that the things you say leads them to developing the wrong idea of you.

    Alternatively, what of all of these "guys" really are just the same person?

    • It's a rather primitive drawing game that the moderators have abandoned and it gets hacked constantly but I don't mind any of that, it's part of the fun. I'd rather not say the name cause its pretty obscure and doesn't need anymore trolls (not that you are a troll but some people that read this)type of info- first name, age, location, pictures. Same as everyone else on the site. There is no private messages so whoevers online can see it, and I don't have a problem with that, especially since most of the users are from other countries, and I don't see how someone can get mad at me over that info. It has a lot of nice people and it is the only site of its kind so it'd be hard to quit. It's a lot like this site. I'm actually pretty paranoid about certain users being the same guy but I know for sure these 3 are completely different.

        Can you block users? Or, launch complaints to the moderators about this user(s)?

        • no, you can't block, and you can complain to mods but no one knows if they even read feedback, because they never do anything. I was on the verge of hacking the site just to delete his account, but he's back to being all nice.

    • one of them insist that i was molested as a kid which is not true at all. When I say it's not true, they say things like, "oh poor you" and go into details about incestual rape. Then make fake accounts using my name and pretending to be me. The other one said i was an idiot and we were never friends, that is the one who made me cry because I like him the most, and he is the one that was desperately searching for me about 5 minutes after me giving him the "silent treatment", he is a graphic artist and drew me a nice picture for an apology. The other guy just keeps saying he respects that I basically "friendzoned" him (I gave him many opportunities to leave if he felt used by being my friend and nothing more) then he totally went off multiple times but keeps coming back (He has my phone number, because we were pretty good friends for about 4 years. i finally blocked him on skype and deleted his number from my phone. honestly the reason why i didn't sooner is because I was afraid he would do something crazy)

      • It sounds like these are different cases. Some seem normal, such as the graphic artist doesn't seem so bad. The one who makes the fake accounts seems more vindictive and I wouldn't trust him at all.

        Its normal for people to get mad and have fights and apologize but doing this like trying to make you look bad to others and being purposely mean is not normal or something you should put up with.

    • I don't know what to say, I don't do anything out of the ordinary. I act the same around all guys, half of my online male friends are totally normal and fine with the way I act, very nice and friendly to me all the time. the others go crazy. Even my normal friends know these crazy people, and make fun of them, troll them, asking me to join as well, and if i defend the guys my normal friends say they don't understand what I see in him, and continue to make jokes about how crazy they are

    this is a reverse of what i posted earlier. I think this happens way too often so i put this is normal.

    here is the problem (and to be honest i didnt read your post because i can imagine the reply) Women today are pretty clueless when it comes to men. The problem is most of you younger girls are raised up to wear the tight clothes and act a certian way to get a guy. the problem is a lot of you are so desprite to find a guy you will end up falling for anyone who treats you nice after 5 minutes.

    What gets me is that i have a disablity and yet most women flat out ignore me, however a hot guy comes along and even if he treats the girl like shit they still want him.

    You should not be with men who treat you that way. unless you just have low self esteem and think thats all you can get. more times then not. women who have been treated badly/abused end up getting with the same types of guy because thats all they think they can get or they end up falling for the same lines instead of making sure the guy is for real.

    You need to stand up for yourself and stop letting guys walk all over you. that is how abuse happens. and the problem today is i am sick of the women who has been treated that way who has done NOTHING about it to act like they are weak.

    i seen women speak their mind. So there is no excuse for a women today to not speak up or get a friend to speak for them (befriend a very big tall imposing guy is a good tip. just as friends a big guy you can count on who wont take advantage of you but who will come to your aid if a guy is abusing you) not to hurt them but just to put the fear of God into them to never do that again

    but seriusly. You women need to stop this. it is pathetic in my view and the problem is you end up keep doing the same thing. I do not understand why women today will let a hot guy treat them like shit its beyond me.

    never works for me though the 2nd i say one little thing to a women and they rather run.

    Stand up for yourself and stop posting online is it normal face your problems or else you will live the rest of your life being hurt, abused, and feeling like crap.

    but the problem is most of you women today dont have a thought in your pretty little heads you are a fully not capible of figuring this out on your own.

    and another thought

    DONT HAVE SEX WITH A GUY AFTER YOU JUST MET HIM.

    chances are guys who push for sex right away are going to be the types who will take advantage of you.

    • Most of these guys have "disability" too, if you count autism as a disability. they are like in their 30s and still living at home and never had a girl friend. but I am the same way, just younger but not much, im 22 and never had a bf. I'm probably on the autism spectrum too, never asked anyone. I do not have to see what these guys look like to love them. Most of them i saw their picture long after talking to them many times, and most people would say theyre "ugly" but I dont care because i love them so much. I know what you mean though it seems pretty rare in guys or girls to be like this. i wish i knew some men like that in real life too. but thats not the way real life works- you get a persons physical appearance before their personality, so most men irl are attracted to me for my looks then get "scared off" (more like bored, it seems) of my personality.

    It's completely normal, tell them "stfu you annoying prick" and ignore them they'll shut up eventually..

    • Yeah I try to do that but it's a very addicting website, not just for chat but the games there. If i don't chat it is still shows up next to the games, so I can watch him , faking my account and completely embarrassing me with it to my real friends on that site, and everyone will think its really me because I'm not there to say its not.
