Why does this only happen to me?!

48% Normal
14 Comments

Every single goddamn time I post anything on is it normal I get so much hatred and flaming.
"How dare you?" "F*** you man!" "You have serious issues!"

Yet I see people post the exact same thing, or even worse things, and they get "Oh I know that feel brah."

Why me?! It's always me!

And it's not because I'm rude or anything. I just address my question very politely and directly, looking for help. But all I get is hate.

    As bananadave says, if you give us examples, there could be reasons. Or perhaps you've just been unlucky or misunderstood. I once posted a funny thing about pirates that I thought was going to make people laugh but I got seven shades of hate for it. No idea why. I thought people liked pirates.

      hahaha, well that's lame.

      And ok. Here's an example:

      My story: http://isitnormal.com/story/i-want-doomsday-on-the-21st-144878/

      Basically the same story: http://isitnormal.com/story/is-it-normal-i-am-looking-forward-to-humanities-demise-40709/

      Notice the drastic difference in responses.

        One thing I've noticed about IIN is the "pack" mentality. If someone posts something and it's up-voted, people's responses afterwards often appear sympathetic with the up-voted post. It's almost like being are so petrified of being down-voted (or picked on) that they say what they think someone wants to hear, as opposed to what they actually think.

        The difference in responses you got might really just be down to the differing attitudes of the first few people to post on each story.

          I thought that might be what it was.
          I guess I just post at the wrong times of the day.

          Well thanks for your input :)

            Yeah, it really might be a "time of day" thing. :/

    Maybe you need more maturity to accept criticism when making faults and rectify them rather living with faults within and looking for unhelpful support.

    If you want, you could leave a link to one of your posts in a comment, and I'll have a look to see why people react that way. Of course you don't have to do that, though. Just offering. I'm not really sure why any other way.

    Because many of these people don't understand what an "opinion" is.

    How do you think Tommy feels, I get people who couldn't outwit a ladybug hurling abuse at me for not joining the sheeple.

    Every time huh? How many we talking? Because if it is a lot then maybe there's truth in what people are saying. That said, it takes guts to post stories here because some comments are awful and get voted up because of a schoolyard peer following. So don't take it too personally.
