What is the deal with people being so negative here lately?

[jordanianprincess 0]

Why is it that people constanly try to blame others for their wait times? Why is it that some people can't be happy for others? I don't get it, this is supposed to be a support forum.

It is what it is people, get over it!!!

Sorry I needed that vent.

Are you reading the same forum I am?

[sukie175 1]

I was thinking the same!

Why should it matter to you how other people react? If you're happy for everybody, good for you! But you can't honestly expect that everyone here is going to have the "it is what it is" attitude.

To me it's awfully complacent.

JMHO.

If you are not happy for someone or don't have anything positive to sayor even constuctive to say...then don't say it. Its simple. I don't get why some people get joy out of other peoples misery.

Come on, the world doesn't work that way, and VJ is no exception.

Well, YOU are not happy..and YOU are saying it...Why can't they vent too?

Just a thought

Thanks for giving me my lesson in how the world works. I think I have an idea now. I'm not going to argue wiht you Jenn since you and I often don't share the same opinion.

ya know...there is nothing new with that sentiment....I've been here 2 years and I've heard the same thing many times over...it really isn't just a "lately" thing. I really have no answer to the rest of your question...just trying to nip in the bud the feeling that VJ is changing "lately" because for as far back as I can remember on here, people have felt the forum was changing negatively. Edited to add...not say I agree with that feeling though...

And now for you..................

And thank YOU for the sarcastic comment. I was not trying to teach you about the world, just trying to point out that maybe you shouldn't expect any different in here than you get "out there".

Well I don't know what world you live in Jenn, but I dont know anyone that takes pleasure out of my misery in real life, it seems to only happen on VJ. As far as sarcastic comments, that was in reply to yours.

going by that logic, you shouldn't have started this thread

I am sorry that somone has upset youm JP but perhaps a pm would suit better thana public outcry.

I don't think it's a matter of taking pleasure in others' misery, but rather considering your own needs/desires more important than the needs/desires of strangers. I don't think it's unreasonable that people want the best for themselves.

Wow I agree with you. But there is a way to say things. No one likes this process more than the next guy, but for what purpose does it need to be made harder? I myself have to endure a very long wait, but that is not anyone's fault on VJ.
