Why do people seek approval on forums???
 

Does anyone actually get affected by what people say about them on here?

I don't take things on the internet to heart but i do favour some members over others by what they say about me.

Its nice to hear compliments from anyone :thumbs:

Yeah, I think people have been better with you lately. Plently of other people have popped up lol

What about the bad stuff?

ya i know ha

Depends how many dicks take the micky out of me

I think it depends on the person... I think tonight and all the "what do you really think of me" threads are proof that some people are bothered about what's said about them. SOme people are thicker skinned than others... I would imagine that perhaps the younger members will take things more personally... Might be wrong. I, personally couldn't give a rats ass what anybody thinks of me, on here, or otherwise.. :)

i don't care about the bad stuff said about me, but if someone says something really nice, i feel abit happier

Yeah, that inspired the topic really. Some people do get pretty personal to be fair. Especially when they post a pic and people call them fat or whatever.

I, for one, love a good banter with friends etc and enjoy taking the piss out of people and I can take it right back, but I wouldn't say something to somebody that I knew would cause hurt or upset. It's different on a forum as you don't really know anybody and a poorly aimed insult could be somebodys weak spot and cause real hurt..

Yeah that is true. It's hard when you don't know people. I just prefer to abuse the idiotic posts, not the people themselves.

this

Haha.. by the looks of it you will have plenty of abusing to do...

Meh, they like to be judged i guess.

I find it interesting finding out what people like and dislike about me.

;)

This is an interesting topic. ;)

I'd like to say that I'm above getting upset by what people say against me here, but tbh, sometimes it does get me all rattled up etc.
It's almost worse when you get critiscm on a board/forum if you know what I mean. You're being judged on your ideas and words, which are important to me etc.

Usually though, I do take it with a pinch of salt.
:)

Yay!

I would say that people do seek approval on forums becuase of exactly that, you are being judged on your ideas and words. And everyone would like their ideas to be liked and excepted and thought of as good etc.

:)

Yeah I know what you mean. I'll admit I have got flustered in the Serious Debates section from time to time lol

I know none of you, I couldn't give 2 sh*ts what you think

Lol @ flustered. I do like that word! Don't ask me why..

Do you like me inone?:thumbs:

lol

Yeah lol most people don't get on with mods but you seem to fit in well.

I don't really give a ***** what people think of me.. here or IRL.

Yeah, just popped in my head lol

Go on lass!!!!
