How do you feel about negative responses?

Yeah. That's right. I often experience that. I admit, I usually receive or give negative comments, especially in highly argumentative topics like Religion. The attitude we must possess if we want to become a good conversationalist is, to have an "objective" attitude, not "subjective". :)

I agree but I do like to get different points of view. I also do not think that somebody disagrees that it is negative. I think thats good, I just dont like the derogatory comments.

I don't really mind a negative comment as long as it is phrased in a constructive manner. What I do object to are the comments that come across as aggresive or abusive.

I agree bluehibiscus. The negative comments don't bother me. You have to do things your own way, and noone's comments negative or otherwise should matter.

I don't care about it, I think we must chose good and positive comment. It doesn't effect my opinion, I think every one know what is the best for them

I'm afraid I cann't do it like you,they may have negative impact on me for a certain time, I will fell very bad and think a lot.I know that's not good.

sometimes make no sense of outrage, but usually I will try to receive and analyze the first

Hi bluehibiscus, it's true that we would receive negative response or comment sometimes. If it's acceptable may be I would like to keep on sharing further feeling and views. I know knowledge is vast and endless and what I know is only a grain of corn in the wide sea Moreover all of us here are from different part from all over the world. We live in place in our own lifestyle, culture, believe, etc. Due to this we most probably would have different view and way when looking at a thing. I find the thinking is miles and miles of empty space in between people in different age group, education, country, .... Again our thought might change as well, for we live in this modern world where everything is never-ending changes and improvements day after day... Yeah, if the response is out of my knowledge I will leave it there, and I would like to learn more from other responses available there if there is any. Happy posting

I try to be pretty open-minded and respect opinions that are different from my own, as long as those opinions aren't harmful to others (for example, I do NOT respect opinions that are racist). So when responses differ in opinion to mine, I don't usually get too upset. What does upset me is when discussions get responses that are mean or derogatory or judgmental. And boy, have I gotten some crazy bad responses to some of my discussions! For example, I posted a discussion in which I stated that I don't celebrate Christmas, and one responder told me that if I don't celebrate Christmas then I must hate everyone and I'm going to go to hell! Talk about rude. Thankfully, I think there are more polite people here than rude people.

hi bluehibiscus how i feel about a negative response depends on what was said. we are not to flame or insult each other so if the poster were to say something mean like this is a really dumb discussion, how stupid I would report it to mylot admins as we are not to insult one another. If its just a disagreement I will say respect my rights to my own opinion , and I will respect your opinion too., we should not fight with each other at all. you must never change your opinion,it is yours and we are to respect each other, and not try to change each others opinions at all.While you are certain in your own opinion and as you say you use facts,well I still may disagree with you but I will not insult you at all. I will just say while I do not agree with you, I respect your opinion and you must respect mine too.

Hi bluehibicus, Negative response? Is it a racism, abusive, no manner response or just a different response without any abusive mean. If it is a abusive response, then I will not bother even to read it as I know why would be a result. They only try to condemn us and did not have any worthy idea to offer us. But if that is a different or opposite ideas from what I already have then I would look into it. We live in the world that everything has its opposite and both have their good and not so good things. Try to look into it and get the best out of it from both idea and we might have an outstanding idea. Discussions happen because of this different ideas on the same thing. And try to get the best from it. If there is no difference about it, it would be no discussion.

When I respond to a discussion...I go in ready to post MY response, not what might be expected. When it comes to receiving a negative or opposing view...it makes for a a better discussion...and that is the whole point. Life would be very boring if we all thought the same.

Hi bluehibiscus..i have ever experienced that, especially for sensitive topic. i don't mind if somebody has a different view with me, i accept all the responses with open minded. i'm not going to force anyone for having same perception with me. but one thing i don't respect with an opposite response is if someone speak up their mind without good manner, rude or use a bad word. thats really annoying, and i prefer not to response back. thanx a lot

I agree with you, we have different ideas and point of view so I respect other people's point of view. And If they don't agree with me, that's totally fine with me, I respect them and It doesn't really bother me at all and never changes my own idea. I always stick to my own thoughts and ideas and not because of other people.

yeah that's right. we are entitle to our own opinions and i know that i cannot please everybody. but it doesn't mean that i have to agree to everyone just to suit them. whether my opinion is right or wrong, i'm happy with it coz that's what i believe in.

I it doesn't matter to me also. It would be good in fact to know the different views and opinions of people here regardless if it's positive or not. We may not have the same opinion in all things right? However, I just hope that people here should avoid being rude. You can give a negative response but not being rude. Because the negative responses are responses which don't go along with the point of the person who started the discussion. Sometimes, I really get a good laugh here reading different statements from people. It's fun sometimes but I have to agree I am not very happy to read rude responses without even respecting the view of the person who started the discussion.

It's a good thing that you stand up to your words and not waver on your beliefs just because some people don't have the same opinion at first. Some people are harsh with the way they express their own point of view and I must admit that it's kind of hard to find a way to respond to them at first. Whenever I do respond, I try to keep an open head and just be calm. Leveling with the person's negative response will only fire up the interaction more. Some differing opinions are welcome however and they actually help you in many ways. Sometimes we need to see some things in a different perspective so that things become a lot clearer. Have a nice day.

ya of course you are right there is nothing wrong your habit's you are thinking positively then you do better then best because i have no right to poking the nose between other we are siting here for earning and giving won view not more then it am i right?

You do the right thing baby stickto your point but there are some constructive criticsm also while most of them are just negative comments that are tend to disturb you just keep on the good work and learn from the mistakes

they make me feel bad inside :(
