Do you care about the feelings of other people on Girlsaskguys?

Question

Do you always just write your honest opinion and don’t care how it might make other people feel?

AmandaYVR · Accepted Answer

I care about people's feelings, for sure. I was consistently and consciously nice on here for a long time after I joined, but over time I see so many people describing ridiculous scenarios of where they clearly are being extremely selfish themselves, or entitled, or bitter, to outright aggressive and insulting to others, for usually little reason. Everyone has experienced this on here, on the internet, on social media, and it's really common. But, still every situation needs to be assessed on its own. If we were all nice and supportive and agreeable to every person on GAG who is PRESUMABLY asking a question, asking for help (yeah, right, we all know many are just here to get their boots licked by sycophants) then we would be enabling the very behaviour that needs to be corrected and quelled. Society has always been an orgasm that is self-correcting, meaning, the people check each other. It's for the greater good, to create a reasonably harmonious society, which everyone then benefits from. We can't just affirm every hairbrain idea and thought.

If a person is pleasant, reasonable, and seems to genuinely have a question, want help, or to discuss something complex, or just to have fun, then we can enjoy interacting with those types. That's why people come here, to socialize with a community, get familiar with some people, and learn and play.

But we all know those people are eventually suppressed by the other ones, the trolls, the selfish, the nasty. It's really sad.

We can illustrate this by all easily doing a little experiment - just answer the next five questions in the feed (no filtering, no selecting categories). The quality of the content, and the sincerity of the people, and the number of users NOT hiding behind anonymity, are shrinking and shrinking. It gets harder to find great topics, and sincere people.

Yh I do, I say something to myself before sending it and if I get offended by it don't send it, sometimes people need advice and have no one to talk to, it's up to us to be unbiased but not too nice and call them out on their rights and bullshit.

I care about the JUSTIFIED feelings of other people here or anywhere else. The problem is that the snowflake generations are such wimps and pussies that EVERYTHING is offensive to them. Doesn't matter what you say there is always SOMEBODY that is offended by it. That's because they were taught that EVERYBODY is a victim and if someone says ANY KIND of criticism about someone else it is racist, or sexist or homophobic or xenophobic or fill in the blank phobic. I am so sick and tired of these perpetual victims whining all the time and their spoiled brat lazy asses. Even worse they try to get you CENSORED. They are little Nazis. So no, I don't give a wit about their wimpy ass feelings.

It depends.

If defending a person's feelings promotes or encourages delusions, lies, or other misinformation (or stupid behavior) then I don't care about their feelings.

If someone however is being a troll, I will defend the victim's side.
And if someone is putting themselves down, I may decide to lift their mood if they have not knowingly done something horrible.

You have to be a decent person for me to care about your feelings, and even then, if you're wrong about something in your post, I'll still make that known.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

I'm truthy nice to all people on here. No matter who they are and If someone is feeling sad, I would like to talk things over. I've been through it all in life, but I manage to make things right and show my caring to others, people have a heart. <3

goaded · Answer

Yes, I care about the feelings of most other people on GAG, but not the people who don't. Anybody reasonable, even if I disagree with them, I'm respectful to, people who throw out insults for no reason and especially the Nazis who think there's nothing immoral about denying the Holocaust, or do it outright, not so much.

ChiTown33 · Answer

I take the advice of Thumper.

If I need to be brutally honest I try to frame it as positively as possible. I. e. if a woman thought she had big ears I'd say that's your superpower. God gave you big ears to make you good listener. You can help people with those ears.

lightbulb27 · Answer

I write honest but I try to consider their feelings and be reasonable. not always, not always successful. sometimes things come across in writing worse than how I'd say it because I don't take the time to edit or think through as well.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

I try to stay honest as I can, rarely using a downplay approach to make it easier. If I know someone is trolling or if I hate the user in question, no remorse will be had, all language and possible offenses will be used.

Lilibet · Answer

I always try to give my 100%. But there is many people just insulting others, it happened to me a lot tbh. They don’t try to understand the question or problem that you are having, they just judge you and blame you

Chthou95 · Answer

Most of the time? No. When its a serious issue where a family member passed away then yeah. But just in general no because i believe truth and facts are more important than feelings. I don't want to lie or be politically correct at the cost of being disingenuous and not honest. Random people's feelings are not my responsibility

whirled_up_girl · Answer

I try to be honest and be as respectful as possible but I will call people out when I think they are being unfair, dishonest or just downright rude.

normalice · Answer

Nikki1989 · Answer

Yes. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

Adaeva · Answer

I tend to say what I think because it doesn't benefit someone to tell them a good feeling lie. However, sometimes I try to be nice about it.

A_Bell · Answer

I answer the question they ask. I expect others to treat me the same way. Why go to a place like this to be lied to? Your friends will do that.

exitseven · Answer

Yes, I know they are real people with real feelings. i try to be respectful and know that sometimes we all just need a little encouragement.

Billlewis · Answer

Of course I do, even though it doesn't seem as though a lot of them care about mine.

As much as I can. I react very badly to being called names or cursed at. Calm discussion is what I really enjoy and that happens frequently luckily.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I give my honest opinions but I try to do it without hurting other people's feelings. I would never intentionally be disrespectful or rude to anyone

jahaims · Answer

Always honest. Most people are ignorant and take a truthful opinion as an insult because they are insecure.

AngryCarl2 · Answer

I don't care about the trolls but the genuine users I do. It's hard for me to sugar coat things though.

TiaNour · Answer

I never disrespect people on here. I just do my own thing and not get involved in some sort of argument.
