I'm not even trying to be funny tbh. I just never really understood the point of it. I mean if you don't get along with someone or if you don't like someone, then ignore them? Just do your own thing. Keep to yourself. Mind your business. Life is too short guys
I'm fine with ignoring people I dislike for general reasons, but if someone says something about me, I do tend to respond. I'm aware that makes things worse, but it's also just not in my nature to sit there silently while people say cruel things, especially when they are not even true.
While I get this feeling, every situation is different. Growing up in school, if a bully went out of their way to pick on you everyday and maybe you tried to take a different path to your class but the bully found out and still bothered you… eventually you would need to tell someone or stand up for yourself to get it to stop. Ignoring sometimes can make it even worse than it already is.
Trust me, people find ways to get in contact with you. If I filtered, blocked, etc. someone on Tengaged but they constantly blogged about me or commented about me in games, why would I want to see that everyday when I log on. And going to the mods wouldn’t prevent it from happening at other places. Am I supposed to leave discord/Skype chats that were mutually in just to get away from them?
You are absolutely right. Every situation is different and should be handled accordingly sjsoccer88
I think where I was going or what I was alluding to was to focus more on what you can do for your own well-being (because you’re more likely/able to control what you do and how you handle certain situations for the most part). You cannot control what other people do. But you can control and be mindful of what you do for the most part. So if you are able to remove yourself from the situation, then why not?
Bullying at school can be so traumatic and troubling. I hope people who are getting bullied have the courage to speak up and say something to someone in order to get some help. I never experienced bullying at school so I cannot speak from personal experience or anything. But I do find bullying to be so absolutely unnecessary and cruel. I wish more schools/institutions could support victims of bullying tbh
Getting harassed on tengaged is no pushover either. There have been a couple of times I have had to deal with some trolls on here (and I think this was when mods were getting phased out? Or when mods were gone; I don’t remember exactly). I filtered. I blocked. It sucks. But again, we can’t control what people do. We can only do what is probably going to be best for us. When it comes to you and that person being in the same chats, then I think that is a judgement call. So you would have to ask yourself: “am I going to feel comfortable staying in this group chat with this person? Or will I leave? Or could I talk to whoever is in charge of the group chat or whatever and kind of explain the situation so that someone is aware if something were to happen?” Etc. Simply put, I’m not sure. And not everyone is going to do the same thing (which is fine!). At the end of the day, my advice is to do what is best for you
Also, I’m sorry about writing you a novel. I get carried away sometimes :/ LOL
