I never said that. I'm fine with opinions, as long I can understand they're directed towards me in a possitive way. I feel threatened if an opinion is said in rude manner. I'm a very sensitive person.

Oh, I understand. I didn't realize anyone directed something specifically at you. I must have missed that entirely. But, then I don't take anything on any social media personally as a general rule. That's my choice.

Sometimes the problem with text instead of face to face is that things are lost in translation. You'll pretty much get what you get here. I don't know how old you are, but as a general rule, you'll learn to let things slide off you. No sense getting your hackles up when it will not deter the other person. Just ignore it or say your peace and then ignore it

Great philosophy!

A couple, specific people not naming anybody out of respect, enjoy directing their opinions towards me rudely, & they don't like to stop. They do this to me alot, & it makes me feel bad.

I'm sorry about that. Really I am.

Personally, I like to share my thoughts and opinions with my friends....and I want them to feel free to share with me without tip-toeing around. I want them to know where I'm coming from, to share my experiences, my reasons why, my thinking......and I want to understand theirs.
If someone is not my friend, I don't bother to share because I don't care to invest in a relationship. There has to be give and take for there to be friendship. We all want respect....we all deserve respect. We are all here because we share interests....but each of us comes with rich experiences that can benefit us all. I feel privileged to be able to pull a chair up to this table!

I'm 22. It's difficult for me to let things slide.

I'm having pizza. It's in the oven right now. Its a frozen kind, but I added mushrooms, garlic, and more cheese, a lot more cheese! I'm sure my arteries will be clogged up for sure. But it's pizza and a movie night!

One thing we have to remember in this journey is that misinformation is worse than no information at all. The true measure of intelligence is knowing our limitations and being willing to accept help.

Thanks, I already told it to a staff member about what's been going on. They're willing to help me out.
