Assumptions about other Cellar users

SteveBsjb · 05-31-2006, 02:43 PM

Why do some message-board users seem to prefer to assume something negative about another user here rather than ask them directly if their assumption is correct? And be polite about it while asking.

So many, it seems, choose to post their assumption first and maybe even hope it's inflammatory?

People seem to crave drama.

Yes...some folks crave it so bad that when they finally realize how bad they looked whining in another thread, rather than stop they'll start another thread specifically to whine in. Some have even done that more than once.

wow, what a thought [but these people are the politest board users. Perhaps you meant to post this on another site?]

I know it's a crappy place to find yourself Steve....I know, I've been there. Sorry 'bout that but
The irony of this just makes me feel like an 'open mouth drooler' so my pain for ya factor is real low. Sorry 'bout that too.

I have always assumed that all Cellarites know better than I do and have more and better life experiences than I do and are certainly much more worthy. I live by that.

And that Brianna, goes straight to the heart of your problem. IT'S NOT TRUE.
Understand that, and you're on your way. You won't need to be reassured daily.

I need to be reassured daily. I need to feel the love. We should have a Daily Reassurance Thread for all us insecure dregs to beat ourselves up in.

Do you feel it fair for you to put the burden of your comfort on other people?

No. I do not require you to read my posts.

Any burden you may have is self inflicted.

But, seriously, I need positive feedback in the workplace. If people don't appreciate my work, I feel bad about myself. I tie my self worth to my career too much, and in jobs I have had some low lows and high highs, never a dull moment.

*tease with a grin*
ahh, but do they have a purple living room?

I bet not.

I want better life experiences too but I am too chicken to be cool. You're cool.

It must be true because it's now the Cellar tag line.
