how do you deal with mean people on the internet?

Don't cry! I hope it wasn't me that made you cry. If it was me, I'm not quite sure what I said, and it wasn't meant to make you cry. I have the same problem about looking young. I got carded the other day and the cashier told me I looked like I was 12. 12!!! I'm 23 years old and I look like I'm 12. Geez, that ruined my day. Just try not to let it get to you. It'll pass. Just think, when all these people around us are getting old and wrinkly and are trying to turn back time with all these lotions and such, we'll still look like we're in our 30's! Ha! take that old people!! Come on, laugh!! :)

If you feel uncomfortable in that community, just leave that community or if you still wanna stay, use a new id. I think better to ignore them, it's online world and no one will be able to do something serious to you. They are impolite people, think because it's online they can speak anything without afraid to it consequences.. I look younger than I am too. I'm in college now but many people think I'm still in junior high school.. Don't cry spicysweetie21.. Send them mean message to, close your account and start from beginning. Don't place your photo online because it's not safe and maybe the same thing will happen again. If he/she really search online friends, it won't depend on photo, it will depends on conversation and realation you made. Don't tell the true you to a bunch of unknown people in internet,, unles you have speak to them, make contact and trust them.. You are not horrrible! The one who horrible is that people who leave mena message to you! Stand up, fight and forget!

I am sorry you are sad. That is awful of those people giving you a hard time because of your looks. If you like some things about MySpace, just use a picture that doesn't have your face on it but if you want a picture that is of you, how about a picture of just your hand, or your hair or your big toe? I know that sounds silly or you could use a picture of something that you like a lot. Please don't feel bad about yourself because of others. When someone puts you down, it is because they must make themselves feel better because they know there is something wrong with them and if they hurt others, it makes them feel better about their own grossness. I hope you will be okay.

I just don't say a word with them. I just ignore them as if they don't exists. :) I'd rather spend my time looking for sites that will gives me a chance to earn money. Than waste my time conversing with mean people via online.

That's easy, just walk over there, ring there doorbell and then hit IGNORE.

Who hasn't! Most of us go through it online, if not for our looks, then for something else. Instead of asking how to deal with those people, maybe we should look at the real problem. Insecurity is only the symptom. You'll never be satisfied with yourself if you keep comparing yourself to others. Besides, Petite is sexy, and there's nothing wrong with looking young!

I just ignore them and move on. I don't care what they think of me. As for my reputation, I know who my friends are, and if need be, they will jump to my defense. I have made a lot of friends here on the internet, so a few mean people, no matter how mean they get, really can't hurt me.

I think that in order to be an active member of any community online, you have to eventually develop a thick skin. I used to be much the way you were, and I was always horribly worried about how people were percieving me. I would get terribly upset to the point of tears when I felt attacked or threatened. It's no way to live a fullfilling life. Eventually I just reached a point where I could pick and choose the people who played a role or who had an impact on my life. No one knows me better than me, and if they are attacking something about me that I know needs changing, and that CAN be changed, sometimes I realize maybe they had a point. If they're attacking something about me that I've never seen as an issue, chalk it up to experience, write that person off and remember that they don't know you at all, in reality. If they're just attacking me because we have opposing viewpoints on something, try to remember that although you may feel passionate about something, someone is going to feel just as passionate about your interest's counterpart. It's those difference in opinions that make the world such a fascinating place. The internet kind of gives everyone a false sense of familiarity, and although someone may feel they know you and what you're all about, if they're picking on you, ultimately it's up to you to decide whether to let it get to you or not. You can get sad. You can get mad. Or you can choose not to care.

hi spicysweetie hatley here. I am sorry you have been'the victim of silly insecure people.And fighting with your'boy'friend hasnt helped either I am sure.Did the mean message come from mylot? if so my dear you need to report it to mylot, hit that exclamation point next to the plus and minus side,report this abuser.Mylot doesnt let us abuse each other. Dont let worthless people make you feel bad about yourself.I used to be the same way when I was young and since then I have learned these p eople arent worth my getting upset over.my I wish I was petite and young looking.I am told I do not look my age but I dont look young. I know its hard looking younger than you are.I used to get carder ingrocery stores and I was close to thirty.

I believe that, no matter how I look like, me is me. Learn to keep eyes on the the good and bad sides of yourself. There is still goodness in life anyway. I just stay away from the mean ones.

hi spicysweetie, most people have mean mentality,but according to the time,they show their mean mentality,do not worry from now onwards do not put your real photo in any sites,have a nice day

I never encountered any mean people on some social network besides on mylot, I once in a while receive very aggressive and negative responses attacking my way to talk, I feel quite upset sometimes but there is nothing much I could do, I would just skip the bad comments and move on.

you know hon the only thing I can tell you to do in that situation is find out everything you can on this persons or people and make there social life online non existence. you can ruin a persons reputation online just by letting others know they are out there.
