How often do you feel this with people on fab?
In the forums?
Is there anyone at all where no matter what they do or write you just think I don't get you, you don't hit it off with them, you clash maybe?
Or their writing style just confuses you or sounds ridiculous or makes you cringe? Or you just think they are an utter twat and regularly face palm on sight of them and their words?
Do you try to get past it? Or try to talk to them?
No naming names!! |

I try and stay away from the serious threads, gets a bit too geeky.
You're always going to get clashes of personalities though, plus it's easy to misinterpret comments on the forums and get all mardy. Such is life. |

There are people who talk in such a convoluted manner I can't make out what they mean.
People who write an essay for every comment
People whose saccharine sweetness seems fake as hell
If they're getting on my wick, it's time to log out before I get my claws out |

There are a handful of people I've disagreed with on here on particular topics but on other issues their opinions have aligned with mine so I've no issue with them at all.
Others however that I've never directly engaged with do get on my wick simply because of their cuntish behaviour.
Some of those give me that impression because of the way they pander and simp at every opportunity and don't seem to have an opinion they can call their own. |

Yeah and it’s the thing people most often say to me when they meet me. It’s hard to know what to expect from someone just through online interactions.
There are lots of forumers I’d gladly never meet and who would no doubt say the same about me  |

Yeah, I definitely do and I'm finding myself more and more irritated by some of the people just falling into the Fab clichés both in terms of forum content and profile bios as well. When I'm in that mindset of irritation, I just ignore it all and lurk until I'm in a better headspace or if I really feel I can't get on with them, just ignore them altogether.
I used to get sucked in by obvious rage-bait opinions too but trying to not do that more and more. |

Yep, this. I mean sure, sometimes I'm not particularly fond of how someone posts. Sometimes I think 'this thread isn't for me' and I don't comment on it. We're all different and probably all a minor irritation to others on here. |

There are some on here that I don’t particularly like or I know I won’t get on with so I don’t interact with them. It’s to be expected when there’s so many different personalities in one place. If it got to the point I was getting angry at the sight of them I’d probably take a break. |

In general not many I don't get except the odd 1 or 2 who deliberately want to cause shit under the guise of I love everyone and I'm amazing..
But in my many years on here I've generally got along with most folk and I hope the feeling is mutual   |

There are threads I’ll avoid, others I’ll get involved in and that can be because if I’ve got nothing to say I’ll pass on by.
There are certain people who will say things to create attention or controversy and depending on my mood will depend if I interact.
Overall most people seem okay |

Debateable."
The thing is everyone will make someone else cringe and eye roll and say for fucks sake under their breath.
There's a lot of people ( I mean a lot) that I don't particularly like on here, but I'm well aware they probably don't like me either. And I'd kinda miss their little egos if they left.
The people I like and those I dont are what make it slightly more interesting than browing pinterest.
You may eye roll now.

A few people actually. Most I just won't interact with, I find that easier than trying to understand them (especially if they're not what we're looking for anyway).
I'm not here to understand people's psychological needs by their writing styles
I also have enough to deal with without people being hit and miss. I don't like surprises.. So if you're going to surprise me down the road then there's no point trying with me

Agreed. Here people show you a version of them, whether that’s the real them or not is down for you to decide if you really want to
I was told yesterday that I am too honest to be on here. Weird when honesty was seen as a negative trait |

I can't stand people who think it's cool to dismiss a comment by saying they don't know what I'm on about, instead of maybe googling a specific term or thinking outside the box.
These are also the same people who chase me from thread to thread arguing the toss over....nothing!
Oh there was also a delightful chap who called me a gaslighter simply for defending my point, too.
Aside from that, I bear no ill to anyone here |

Quite often really. Just different sense of humours I guess and different outlooks on life. Age is playing a big part now as I get older.
I just carry on doing my own thing and let them crack on doing their thing. No biggie. |

There’s definitely a few I know I’ll never get and understand.
But FAB is just like walking into a pub - there’ll be some you’ll chat to and some you’ll completely want to avoid and some you’ll have a laugh with and some you’ll want to take home.
But once I leave the pub I don’t worry or stress over the people.

That's basically my thinking right there.
On days when I'm less comfortable in the pub because of the conversations that are occurring, I'm more likely these days to walk out rather than get involved. |

But my local pub had people I liked. A did quizzes with them, and talked endlessly, and done became minor friends. I sure as hell had a whip round for flowers when some have passed or got married. Because I’m friendly.
If this is a pub, it’s certainly not a Manchester one! |

There are some who I really don't get. I don't think that's necessarily a good or bad thing. I don't think you're supposed to get everyone. The only time it's an issue I suppose is when people clash because of it.

I’m kind of in good company around freaks and weirdos, but fab does really test my boundaries.
What I have realised is the way a lot of people communicate here is different to real life, it’s very literal and child like I think it’s an ND thing where there’s no gap left to join the dots |

I don't think liking someone on here, means you reply to them lots. I rarely interact with you on the forum, but I genuinely like how you post and often agree with what you say. Though I don't that comes across on the forum |

No, that usually is based around whether they have a vagina or not.
Popularity on here has absolutely no value, people seem to consider it such a prized asset but memories are short and it conveys no status |

I have a vagina and I'm not popular Tea. Don't think it boils down to that alone. I'm sure it does help but there are far more popular males on here than I am. |

I've just spent a few days away from fab and the forums to get away from the shit I've seen on some posts. It's not a case of not getting some people, but of being able to see exactly who they are. There's genuine and normal people here who are great. There are people who put up an act that you can see right through but are kind of an ironic source of entertainment. Lastly, there's a small few who are just so repulsive and ruin what should be a fun place. Those are the ones who make me take time away before I end up lowering myself to their level. |

There's a few people that I feel utterly disconnected from and I don't generally want to directly engage with.
But that doesn't mean they're bad or wrong or anything. And I'm happy to have a variety of people around.

Doesn't bother me in the least tbh , life way too short for anything like that, everyone is entitled to say or write whatever they want , if l see a post or thread or a reply that l don't agree with for whatever reason l just pass it by , sometimes l had a reply all written out and before l posted it l just deleted it ,now l just pass.. whatever a person writes here doesn't bother me in the least . |

The echo chamber is what annoys me. The people who you can tell what their opinion will be because you read their favourite person say it three replies beforehand. |

I think I get most people, if we're talking literally, though there are some whose posts are fairly impenetrable at times. Some view points I can't reconcile with, even if I understand them.
I certainly don't like everybody, but that's to be expected, and sure the feeling is mutual!

There are some on the forum who are not my cup of tea, but it's no biggie to just scroll past.
I probably do more facepalming from local updates. There are a few on there who I'm kinda fascinated by as their posts are just so ludicrous! |

Quite a few actually but don’t get draw in to the baiters any more as did once and forum police gave me detention……
Also I’ve done a thread which I thought was funny and it got deleted but looking back and thinking about its context I can see it could have got peoples backs up or come across as cringy…. (Still learning)
I would personally take people with a pinch of salt as at my place if work I’m very near the knuckle with my humour and if you couldn’t see my facial expressions or body language you’d probably report or thump me…..and that’s the problem in threads, words not conveying emotions properly…. |

Is there anyone at all where no matter what they do or write you just think I don't get you, you don't hit it off with them, you clash maybe?
Or their writing style just confuses you or sounds ridiculous or makes you cringe? Or you just think they are an utter twat and regularly face palm on sight of them and their words?
Do you try to get past it? Or try to talk to them?
No naming names!! "
Yes often, I tend to just ignore them unless they say something that I very strongly disagree with |

"A few seem to have the hobby of deliberately misunderstanding/misinterpreting a post in order to create an argument"
Yes
And there are a few who will say bizzare comments/questions just to trigger a response |

I dunno... how people respond to things, the general vibe from them and a sprinkle of intuition.
But yeah man - crack on. |

Hmmm. There’s been people on here though I’m sure don’t like me much and then we message one day and they give completely different vibes. I’m bad at reading people and situations a lot of the time though I’m learning |

In general I read the words without judging the person. It's what is said that I respond to. I don't spend time analysing and categorising personalities that I will never meet. So it is possible that I would respond to writing by a person that I have nothing in common.
There are a handful of people that , over time, I have grown to 'know' and could attribute their writing to them even if their name wasn't on it and it's possible to feel warmth toward them whether I agree with their sentiment or not. |

Specifically in the Forum, I’d say there is one that amuses me, cynically. I read their post because they are cringingly entertaining in their regular ‘casual’ references to their success and lifestyle but it’s when they belittle others with it that truly makes my skin crawl.

Just as when reading a new novel and the style of writing or language grates. We all have our preferences, although mine are obviously correct |

Mostly it’s just posting style / difference in personality & with some interaction, we’re ok with each other. Never gonna be besties, but all is well.
That is the beauty of life, fab & forums. We’re all unique. Live & let live.
That said I’ve tried really really hard to be supportive & nice to some & had it literally thrown back in my face. I wouldn’t let it spill in the forums, but I won’t forgive it either. |

I just pass the time on here. Not interested in egos, arrogance or the ocassional abuse that some seem to thrive on and they are definately ignored even if they post a personal responce. If I connect with someone, I do that privately. I don't like the herd mentality sometimes displayed and some people can be very btutal to others for their own personal gratification. Having said that I love interacting with some people, even of their opinions are different as they express them in an appropriate manner. I enjoy finding out stuff that are very useful day to day in some threads and all the food, drink and holiday ones |

I minute window and view, is only a mere glimpse on here and elsewhere,how can any repore engagement traction be found.
Face to face you get to see mostly the whole thing or a chance to,by asking questions,useing eye,ear skills.
Online is going nowhere,unless many love a picture of what they see,and Lust for it and need that for ego!
Its way too easy and flipant online,to be distracted and bombarded with visual pics,and info every sec. Oh what else is out there! |

"Most people I really don't wanna get.
"
The real mind and deeper drives the shell and body!
We most are distracted by looks,and a little deeper the looks do not even equate to the mind and personality!
For me that is,worthless. And an empty shell. |

"Quite a few actually but don’t get draw in to the baiters any more as did once and forum police gave me detention……
Also I’ve done a thread which I thought was funny and it got deleted but looking back and thinking about its context I can see it could have got peoples backs up or come across as cringy…. (Still learning)
I would personally take people with a pinch of salt as at my place if work I’m very near the knuckle with my humour and if you couldn’t see my facial expressions or body language you’d probably report or thump me…..and that’s the problem in threads, words not conveying emotions properly…."
A mere glimpse! But very,very far from it. |

I'm a true believer in you getting what you focus on.
We're on this earth for a limited time, and I couldn't ever imagine getting pissed off with someone for finding happiness. I'd rather celebrate that than push it away.
I guess we each find our own.

Perhaps I’m a bit weird in that I try to see different things from other people’s perspectives and seek to understand before being understood. In that way I very rarely find myself in a situation where I don’t get or understand people.
Whether I like that viewpoint or agree is a completely different matter |

I saw that comment more about people boasting of how well they're doing on threads that are about coping with not doing well. Seen multiple examples of that this week. I'm quite happy for people. Don't think they need to rub it in when some of those here are struggling. |

I haven't seen those threads, although I'm not on the forums a great deal these days.
I would like to think if I were struggling, and others were posting in this vein, I would see them as glimmers of hope that things can be different.
Perspective is all important.
It goes to show how we each bring different perspectives to conversation and how contextually words can be interpreted differently.
Sending love to anyone who needs it right now
