What's With the Crybabies?

Nothing better than a calloused douche who has no grasp on human emotion :slight_smile:

@OP: You’re the crybaby… this thread was a cry for help

There’s nothing wrong with seeking advice with life’s issues over the internet in anonymity. There’s a stigma attached to turning to the internet for help, but it’s the most vast, ever-changing informational source in the world

And this tough guy attitude is bullshit.

And listen man, I understand you’re a young guy (15 or so?) and I’m glad you realize you don’t have all the answers. Hell, at 15 I thought I had them all. But it is really YOU who is pulling a tough guy attitude because you can’t open up and voice your problems to the real people in your life. I understand voicing problems with people like your parents, friends, other family members can be a little embarrassing and awkward, but trust me, they care about you much more than we do. They have much more vested in the advice they give and the decisions you make.

So quit being a tough guy and give your parents a hug.[/quote]

I actually agree with both of these opinions. For some people and for some situations a little internet anonymity is a good thing. Also, on this site you get a lot of people who cut through the crap, don’t mince words and tell it like it is. If you can filter out the bullshitters, tough guys and jokesters, it can be a great resource.

On the other hand, as LMoFo points out, you should seek out meaningful relationships in real life with people you can count on to care for your best interests and help you through tough times with both empathy and straight talk.

Solid post overall but I’m actually not complaining. In reality, many of these threads tend to be hilarious. And my ranting about these threads is really just an attempt to help these fools realize that real healthy relationships may be just what the doctor ordered.

Understood, and I think your input does in fact add much value to many threads. And perhaps just maybe you were playing a little bit of devils advocate, and I read into that and made my response to you but was hoping other people would read it and take that message home. You know kinda like a good cop bad cop sctick. Or something like that. Also it is entirely possible that i’m some rediculously delusional person who just comes on here spewing random thoughts out that sometimes berley resemble rational thought. You just never know. :wink:

We should totally hug.

That was my first thought when I read the thread title.

If I had a complicated (not serious/life threatening) enough issue, I’d ask friends/family and probably make a thread on it. It’s an easy way to take in a ton of opinions and different ways of thinking, and then, after taking all of them into consideration, come up with the best solution.

If you have an issue with a thread, just don’t post on it. The best thing to do the majority of the time is just not say anything at all, or take it to PM’s. Complaining about complainers just adds more bullshit to sift through.

Danny Tanner, I mean Lanky pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Turn your eyes away from the LCD monitor, take your hand off the optical mouse and talk to someone with flesh and a heartbeat.

Group hug anyone?

I seriously doubt that these “crybaby” posts really give us a honest insight into their lives…and/or their persona.

People that have a problem usually are in denial about something…their posts don’t give us the entire story. Take 'em with a grain of salt…make “stick in ____ pooper” comments…and move on.

These people are either just young and immature or need professional help.

True, but then you come in and put those big boobies on the screen.

These off topic threads are just reasons to get people with hot chicks in their avatars in one place.

I could never hug you, Lanky.
It’s not that I don’t love you. It’s just that in a hug, my face would be at your crotch.

lol

If V doesn’t mind, you can join our hug. It’ll be like a 3 way of awesomeness. Possibly gheyness, too. Whatever. Let’s just see what happens. Relax. Just go with it.

One of my biggest pet peeves is this notion of professional help. It’s complete and utter BS. I am an insurance professional, and so are many people I know. There are random people out on the street that do a little homework on thier insurance, who know more about insurance than some of the “professionals” I know. People didn’t survive hundreds of thousands of years because some professionals were around to help them figure shit out. People relied on thier intuition, instincts and ability to accumulate knowledge and use it wisley (wisdom). I view professionals to be a crutch for people, because then they stop thinking critically on thier own and just keep falling back to this professionals opinion on a specific matter, and then before you know it, there are other things which the professional might be able to help me with and so on.

All the people who I know personally who either are or have gone to seek “professional” help, are either still fucked up or more fucked up period. They feel better for a day or a week and then fall right back into the same old ways and end up right back on the couch.

I would much rather send someone to T-Nation for help because most of the people here are well grounded and will as someone else pointed out, cut through the bullshit and get to the point. Also people like myself will attempt to convey the importance of SELF reliance. Many times people look out for help when really they just need to look within. And yet others will put thier own spin on things. The collective message is a good one even though some parts might resonate more with one poster or another. So while no one here is a professional (though we don’t even know that for sure) we all have life experience and are all human beings. Anyways Boss, not coming down on you personally, just the notion that “professionals” are the way to solve every problem.

I see a lot of people making reference to my post, and it tickles me pink

In defense of people who have received similar treatment, I say: go look at the rest of the similar threads, they all get the same responses… “Be more normal, abandon individuality, don’t use your personality to your advantage, just become more like them.”

No one, not even myself, is going to change their lifestyles because an internet stranger says “become like me, I don’t have your problems”…

A car cannot go through mud, so you tell it to become a truck. However, that is impossible and will not happen. What shall we do? Insult the car, for not being more truck like…

Do you see what I mean?
I had received PM’s in response to my post with guidelines on how to become someone else… I laughed.

It comforts me knowing that while I might have some problems, I am still not depressed, I am very happy – and I don’t have to change myself to be those things. All of these guys(and girls) telling me I need to assimilate myself with the norms in order to be happy make me smile. I’ll always be better than those who sacrifice themselves in order to save face :slight_smile:

I agree totally…but sometimes people truly cannot think critically and/or analyze the world around them as you and I do.

If that is the case,these people need more than advise on an internet forum. Nothing wrong with venting pent up emotions…there is no limit to that. Doesn’t matter if its the internet or not…but these people need social support outside of T-Nation. Like I mentioned earlier…we don’t get to see the true persona or the whole story. We’re just reading words.

Hey I got a better Idea, Lets get 10 of us together and we can do a standing spoon-hug circle. Now that would be super awsome in a totally gay way.

What’s with the Crybabies? Well son there has always been “crybabies”, no matter what culture, ethnicity or gender. Yet with the huge advancements in technology that continues to rise so rapidly.

It has become ever so easy for these “crybabies” to express themselves to the masses as where before they only had their best friends, family, significant others and for some weird people their pets. So most probably feel the interwebz should be added to this “list” of people/things they think might give two shits.
