been there, not nice at all.

Yeah sadly I think we have all had to deal with people who do this
/cry ;-;

Some people just suck.

Yep ;-;

People... What a bunch of bastards...

*shakes fist at human race*

*violently curses them too*

Do I need to maul someone?

I'm offering discounts this month

I'm not that nice

lmfao omg. i love him.

any special discounts for Valentines Day? >D

Only if you want the heart removed artfully and presented later

What if there's no heart to remove? :/ Could create problems

That does make it difficult, but I do enjoy a challenge. Might make a bit of a mess looking around to make sure it's not there though

-Facepalm.- Ugh, sounds like this person was a couple cans short of a six pack and probably forgot to wear their tinfoil hat that day.

xD

Wow, just wow...

Wow is right.. what a waste of both our time, tbh. I'd rather just be told "I don't want to be your friend" than get this fake niceness only to hear about things said about me later.

Yeah, unfortunately, people have a tendency to suck like that.

It sucks when that happens;

yeah, and it happens a lot! :/ people are weird

Yeah. Though I've been on the other side of that myself, so I can understand it a little bit, but I try not to be rude.

Argh.

*makes various annoyed grumbly noises*

Oh yeah, we know all about your real intentions. That whole thing with the rubber gloves and the squirty cream. What were you thinking? She's over eighty, and that isn't her real hair!

I will NOT be kinkshamed on my own page! :O:O:O

I really give up on people sometimes.

Same.. my response with people who make extra effort to be negative toward me (to achieve what, I don't know) is to make no effort toward them at all. Its like, passive aggression and drama is how you're gonna try and shape this relationship? I'm out lol

I think they'd be happy for any intentions from you.

You don't have to be nice to people you don't like, it's overall not worth later drama because eventually the person will find out plus it's kind of like leading someone on, making them think you're actually friends but you're really just being nice. Like those kids who do "pity friendships"or something. Furries can take niceness the wrong way and suddenly think you're super best friends. I've dealt with a few people like that and it's dumb but that's why you have to set boundaries/limits and never be too nice to someone.

Obviously that's different from just being polite to people, like don't be a jerk to some random person just because you don't know them. I even try to be polite to people I just don't like because....I don't know, I don't wanna be seen as an asshole just because I was in a bad mood one day or had little patience.

I'm generally sort of vaguely polite, as you would be to a stranger. Its either that or friendship with little inbetween, and I'd sooner cut contact with a person than keep ties out of pity. I tend to find that people take a lot of issue with that- they need constant validation and attention, and then lash out when they feel they're not receiving what they signed up for when they decided to be friends, or that there was some kind of weird unspoken mystery commitment that happened along the way without my noticing.

Yeah, this is super well known behaviour amongst furries. Lol we've all had that client who thought they were your soulmate after one sketch commission. I've been unpleasantly surprised to deal with this a lot IRL, though. :/

Irritating, but pretty easily remedied with a shrug. xD

Why I avoid people: the novel. I mean, besides my crippling anxiety and being too shy to approach people.


Yeah, I don't like being rude and shoving people aside, I can understand if they are lonely, but a lot of people don't understand boundaries. Just because you give me money doesn't make us BFFs.

IRL? REALLY THO?? I don't think I've ever had someone try to act that way IRL, I thought it was a strictly internet behavior because people online tend to be more insecure and seek out friendships more readily than they would in person, so the slightest sign of kindness could be seen as instant friendship.

Yessss, IRL too. Not as often, but it's happened like thrice now. And this is AFTER I learned to stop being so sugary sweet to people because I'd realized it wasn't doing me any good. I think its possible that our culture of texting/communicating through online means has made people get personal/intimate faster. Nowadays we're having text convos with potential bae from the comfort of our room, have time to think of responses, can get to know the person under a more controlled environment- ie the courtship ritual IRL is becoming more like it is online. Could be why people are acting different.

Admittedly its always worse on the internet. In all ways, people are more prone to make fools of themselves online. Thank goodness, because where would I be without lolcows.

Well you know me, I don't leave the house ever so my interactions with strangers are limited. It wouldn't be surprising if relationship behavior is changing because of how plugged in everyone is now. It used to be only "nerds" used a PC all the time, now everyone is online on smartphones, laptops, tablets, PCs, etc and we're communicating on deeper more intellectual levels than ever before.

I saw a study that was done that showed relationships that form online last longer because people are more willing to speak to one another on a deeper and more interpersonal level than they do on IRL dating scenes.

:( That royally sucks when people are like that , Sadly that is how a lot of people
have become since most communicate from the other side of the keyboard and don't
care of the effect their words and actions are to the person on the receiving end of it.
