Miserable people.

So the truth is out MissTree you were having a grumpy afternoon and could not find anything cheery on here. Definitely not looking at the right threads. Hope you have a better day tomorrow

Well if I was having a “down” afternoon, having a grump about everybody else is not how I would hope to cheer myself up!

It’s no big deal. I was having a grumpy afternoon. I looked for something to cheer me up and couldn’t find anything. Perhaps I should have listened to my dear old mum who said! “ if you’ve nothing nice to say...”

I agree MissTree, although I wouldn't necessarily call them "miseries" - I define them as "Negative Nellies" or "Ranters".

I find more and more often that I go through the "trending" list and avoid reading anything. Same old ranters spouting the same old garbage - in my opinion anyway!

I think a lot of older people become very self-focussed too. They seem to lose the ability to view an issue from someone else's perspective and only see how it impacts them.

Thankfully there are some very good positive, helpful and entertaining posters too, you just have to wade through the mud to find them.

Wibby,
So people who have problems ( don’t we all ) are entitled to express their opinions ?
So can I also express mine ?

Isn’t this
the second of these ? There was one about not complaining about what you can’t change, um listening to the birds and thinking positive thoughts ? So I’ll repeat what I said on there, it is the variety of posts, threads, opinions, Personalities that makes GN fun.

Please reread the OP. You will see I do not malign everybody. I was brought up not to attack personally but to leave an escape route. When we see we have made mistakes we can correct them without losing face. So someone might say,” maybe I got that wrong” .

Bit harsh MissTree, I think your out of order, you have no idea what these posters ( miseries your word) are going through in their everyday life. This is a forum for discussion and posters are entitled to post their opinion, if you dont like it dont read it! No need to criticise!

What is wrong with Eloethan’s request for what you term “Give me the evidence” ?

It’s not about different opinions. They are to be welcomed. Just say it nicely. Don’t attack the poster. If I don’t understand, explain to me. I want to learn.

Right.
Now I am going to be a “miserable person”
I hate it when we get general threads about some people bring picky/intolerant/miserable/bullying or whatever without any reference to what OP is disgruntled about.
I was always brought up to say it right out to a person’s face if they had upset me , not mither away under my breath which leaves everybody thinking “Was it me?” “What did I /he/she say?”

So spit it out please MissTree as things stand you are maligning all the kind, cheerful, helpful members of GN by lumping everybody together.

Here we go. Give me the evidence ... hahaha.

MissTree It would be interesting to know which "miseries" you are referring to. As expected, already someone has come on citing an unnamed "unpleasant" person whose threads she refuses to read.

I suspect that some people define a "misery" as someone whose opinions they disagree with.

MissTree
Totally agree. But misery loves company, doesn't it?

Kitty
I love your fat finger posts. Keep them coming. ???

My flipping phone!

What have I missed now?

Wgat have i missed now?

Misery, happiness, sadness, joy, anger, fear are all part of human emotions which most of us will experience at some time in our lives. It does not mean that those you find Miseries on here MissTree are permanently like that. There are plenty of happy threads on here such as culture/arts, food, gardening and style/beauty which may suit you better. Perhaps you could start your own happy thread telling us what makes you feel jolly/cheerful. We would love to hear!

Great thread!
I avoid all political threads now.
There is one poster who I find very unpleasant, once I see their name on a thread I will not post.

MissTree. Love your name!
I enjoy reading most of the threads on here but I understand that sometimes it can get a bit personal and that can be uncomfortable reading.

ROFL

Please MissTree, not in front of everyone!?. Remember......no touchy?

Toad. I think I love you !

I’m glad you didn’t MissTree, sometimes posts like yours make me realise I’m not the only one, if you know what I mean?

I think honestly we are never too old to learn and I find it helpful when my spelling or grammar is corrected.

It also hurts my head to read punctuation in the wrong places, it interrupts the written flow.

However I don't correct people, as I know some do not like it. I also definitely do not agree with people who are rude about it.
