Why are there so many combative abrasive people on this website?

That one person that called me "lame af" for riding around after work listening to music, then later on made a thread crying about how they're randomly mean to people and want to fix it

Some people just aren't happy with any parts of their lives and want to give themselves a boost by "trying" to hurt others, I feel like the abrasive ppl with no real motives are the ones that really grind my gears a little
It's like how ppl use exercise to let off steam instead they come here to argue to destress

Every time I post something it's like there's a gang of angry keyboard warriors waiting in the background to start a petty arguement? Just find it strange.
Just shake it off (T. Swift)

I guess it's cuz they have nothing better to do than to find a reason (starting an argument) just to cyberbully others...

I feel left out. I have never had a threatening PM. /Sigh
Nor me but i had an attempted kinky one lol.


Yeah those tend to be more common I guess. But then you also got to post in the threads that you are "open" to them.

Perception you know......


Ehh i suppose so, i'm just expressive some people pass it off as a pass at them lol.

Unless i am forthright like i am with Teena lol.

I know what you mean... I posted in a thread once and someone took it as an invite. It happens all the time I am sure.

When I first joined someone threatened to hit me with a staff.

Then later on I got a PM threatening to suffocate me with a boat rope.

Lol don't be so offended by the gang of angry keyboard warriors, as you should be more so by the people playing mediator all the while taking sides. We've got quite a few sneaks on here!

I'm going to address this since I consider myself one of the mediators.

Whatever your beef is with UVD - I've put her in her place before in some of her past threads, just as I have done with you in yours (with a bit of advice thrown in. do as you wish with that).

You've attacked me before on the frontpage when I joked with you about something you said (this happened months ago under your previous account) - even when I explained that you misunderstood my intention. And there is at least one other incident where you reacted explosively over a misunderstanding.

This is the first time, however, I've seen you threaten someone over the internet with physical violence.

Which to me is weird, since you're the only reverse astro twin I've encountered on dxp who reacts this way. (Even the ones I know in real life don't react this way.)

Am not asking you to seek validation from anyone here (for obvious reasons), but you might want to take a step back and take a look again at how you reacted to a total stranger over the internet.

Lol!! Many people who are seemingly abrasive also have best advices.They just throw it at our faces in a distasteful way.Few lack humor or may not be able to see it.Some may just be having back-stories or a bad day. Sometimes it's the fault of this media..You don't really get to hear the tone or see eachother to actually understand.Others are just too touchy n sensitivitive.N few others troll just for the sake of it.There maybe days we're on the other side as well.Laugh it all off n this place can be real fun.

I blame coddling parents and friends.

They won't give it to their children/friends...honesty that is because... hurt feels.

So they stumble online and OMG IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD I AM OFFENDED NOW.

Talk about being pretentious and expecting the world to cater to you.

But why do people react in a way that they see fit for their personality? Why can't I control every environment? Why why why why.

Control yourself and if you know yourself well and know to be reactive with any reply, then don't ask for it. It's not up to the other person to manage themselves to adhere to how you want to be treated because it's not owed to you.

There are some people who are cowards in real life and they end up taking out their issues and empty rage out on strangers on the internet. It amounts to them projecting.

Exactly what I thought

Imo seeing people complain about people being petty is petty all in itself. So in a sense the type of personality you dislike is the exact same personality that you truly are, and its annoying af. Just don't be so sensitive. You are dealing with not just people into dark shit like astrology, but also the permanently butthurt. Block people if it's that bad. Complaining about it and making it a big deal is just asking for trouble.

This. I think it's a combination of personal resentment and impatience. People come to these boards for help who aren't always eloquent. I think some users get easily annoyed by that. Sometimes I think the issues hit too close to home for some users. Additionally I think some people just use this as an emotional outlet.
