Why are some people on here so rude?

Published

I'm a pre nursing student and I asked like 7 questions and people have been on my back.

Now what is the point of that?

I even asked a question about being depressed and being in school and someone told me to quit complaining (we're going to assume that this person is in the field and not some troll)

But why?

Why bring down someone who is just trying to make better of their life?

I forgot what pre-nursing forums are like anymore. I'm tired and just need to not come in here anymore.

These younger kids seem to think we all need to agree with them and tell them it's not their fault and it's everyone else in the world. Screw up all you want, the rest of the works is rude and mean.

And frankly, I'm tired of it. Not everybody has to like you, not everybody is encouraging and saying, You can do it!! The real world is not like that despite what your parents tried to shelter you from.

These se kids in the workforce today are scaring me for our future. Someday, our future president is going to have their mom with them in the White House telling the rest of the world to stop being mean. And stop being rude to my special snowflake!! Then bam, a nuclear bomb is dropped on the US. You may say to yourself, that is really, really far fetched, but is it? I can see the helicopter parents swooping in with their endless snacks and participation awards running our country. The inaugural ball all done up from Pinterest ideas. Our president won't be able to make a single decision without mom and dad on board because mom and dad live vicariously through whatever precious does.

That's my soapbox for the night. That's how ridiculous this thread is. There are far worse things going on in the world other than people on the Internet are mean to me. Let's put this in perspective.

Heather, you need to see the movie Idiocracy. It's one of my favorite comedies. I think that tells what the presidency really will turn into. (Palin's backing Trump is pretty darn close). Oh and hospitals set up like a McDonald's.

I feel like taking this on.I went back and reviewed a number of your posts .Let's talk about the "depression" thread.I think that struck a chord because it truly sounds immature,like something a teenager would say.You have the blues because things are not moving as fast as you wish.You are not clinically depressed.You are in a great position to work hard,save some money and prepare.You should be proud of yourself.Which brings me to the "jealous friends" thread.Again,really comes off as very immature.Be proud of all you are accomplishing.You sound like the jealous one because your friends are "copying "you.Be the BEST you can be,forget about every one.

Lastly,Have you considered you may be on the autism spectrum?You do seem a bit socially awkward and I do see the trend in the responses to your posts.I am betting this happens in life and I am sure it will continue through nursing school.A little counseling can teach you better communication skills and if you are diagnosed you can learn a lot to improve things for you.Good Luck

Hey, ktwlpn, thanks for the summary. I remember those threads now and recall thinking "someone thinks this is a counseling hotline run by nurses"

As OP is a nursing student they have more things to hear than to say, so shut up and listen. All that whiney complaining does bring out the nanny-slap.

The OP came here simply stating she was "depressed" ok. It has gona as far as thicker skin, google it, I've lost track. God forbid some of you nurses treat your pt's like this? That is why I said I'd have to wonder what mental condition you would be in if acting out like this to others. SOME might think it's ok to play, give hard tuff it UP advice.. this isn't boot camp people!

If she seems sensitive why nit be gentle and treat her with respect and give professional advise you don't need to be a Nurse Rachette for Petes sake..

Btw, I'm the one that was insulted multiple times even after I made it VERY clear English is not my first language.

I won't engage to those who find this entertianing.

It's mean.

I find the content of your posts very entertaining. Haha

Yes, I remember your the one who thinks teenage drinking and driving is ok because they are going to do it anyway.

Sorry if I don't put much validity into a person who has those views.

1. That was my opinion towards the OP. I was completely supportive and respectful towards her.

2. Never said DUI was okay.

3. Stay on topic, remember? [emoji108]

I agree. My first post on here was not a great experience all because I did not come up front with saying I was a Health Studies major and it was first post. Everyone jumped my case about it and my post was deleted even though it was a topic I was very interested in learning about, plus it was for a class project. Don't worry about those people. Stay positive! (:

Meh I have encountered some abraisivness, but I have not exactly been mister sunshine. You live you learn you refine yourself. That is all you can do. Worry about bettering yourself, and everything will fall into place.

An interesting article showed that those with high cooperation skills are more succesful in life both happiness, and monetarily as a rule of thumb.

So basically what I am saying if people are rude maybe they had a bad day cut them a break, you will have them to. Also if they are just continually rude then they are only hurting themselves its hard to enjoy life that way.

Just my 2 cents don't worry about it work on yourself, and you will do fine.

A lot of people on here are so mean and unhelpful. I be side eyeing them and their comments. I been o this site for more than a year now and just started.posting comments. Bullies on the internet is what a lot of them are. But they're are jewels mixed with the crude and mud. IMHO.

There is a difference in someone being a bully and someone being honest. The people who typically cry that someone is being a bully is someone who doesn't want to hear the truth or wants someone to validate them and tell them they are right.
