Being Rude

[lady67]

I am sure this is going to get moved, but I am going to post anyway and hope triedeverymed sees it first.  I have discovered in my life that people tend to be rude and hateful to the people who offer the least resistance. I am very non-confrontational and I am the one who gets jumped on at work more than anyone.  I have seen that on this forum as well.  The nicer you are, it seems some of the "rude" posters come after you for absolutely no reason because they think you will sit back and take it.  I am learning daily to stand up for myself.  Before I would just let them get their jollies by walking all over me, because I didn't want to raise any flags about myself.  Especially since I didn't want anyone knowing my addiction secret.  The stronger I get though, the thicker skinned I get.  People on here shouldn't be rude.  I remember the old saying, "people who live in glass houses should not throw stones."

Don't worry girl, we have your back.  Most of us are friends here and friends stick together. :)

Love Ya,
Susan

Yes you are so right, my post twice got moved wonder why?

Yes we should be able to be honest. We do need to remember that each of us have opinions about different methods to get clean. Again, take the good and leave the rest. The resuls aren't all in on sub yet.

No I completly agree and I am also one of those women who doesnt stand up for herself too often and at work can be taken advantage of and I am sick of it in my life. I was so glad to find this place where we can be brutaly honest where no where else in my life can I talk to anyone about this secret double life I had been living! Then to hear judgements from people and bickering about the suboxone route or the methadone route caught me off guard. Arent we supposed to be ourselves here and if not here then where?

I just think that as addicts we already have enough guilt and low self-esteem, we should not have to face it on a site that is supposed to be made up of people suffering the same situation.  We need to support each other, not pull each other down.

Unfortunately, some people need to talk down to others to make themselves feel better.  I don't like those people.  Let's be positive on here and lift each other up, not tear one another down.

Peace~Susan

Please don't feel that way.As long as you are genuine and giving informative information to the person who posted thats what matters.The information you give to them may be the very thing they need to hear to help encourage them to hang in there.


ERIN....I'm so sorry you had to deal with such childishness.That has happened to me
            before.You have never been anything but helpful and kind to all of us here.We
            should all remember what our mothers taught us 'if you don't have anything nice
            to say ,don't say anything at all."Stay strong.Peace.
