Does visiting GFY making you mean?
 

I've noticed that since I started posting here again, after 2 years of very light lurking, I am acting more like a prick when I deal with people in my daily life...

Any one ever notice a similar effect?

nothing but kisses

Yeah me too, i'm mean mother fucker!!!
Try saying something to me to see how mean i am!!!:winkwink:

not much, i am same prick :)

Nothing makes you mean, you simply choose to or you don't. Just like I tell my kids when they lose control of their anger and when I ask what is the problem they say, "He/she made me mad." To which I reply, "No, they just did something you didn't like, you allowed yourself to lose control of your emotions, they didn't and can't do that for you.":2 cents:

Only if it comes with a reach around. :Graucho

I like to think I'm not confrontational

I believe environment can have a great deal of effect on behavior.

nop, not here. Always respecting others.
So easy to attack others and it just results in no winners (ever).
Waste of time if you aks me.

Believe all you want, the fact remains you DO have a choice in how you behave.

By your own admission and the very basis of environmental psychology, which relies on the loss of responsiblity in the individual within a group dynamic, your "environment" dictates your emotional state. Right?

Well this "Passing" of personal responsibilty onto the shoulders of the group allows for the justification that one is not in control nor can be held responsible for their emotions or behaviour. It is a cope out.

If I lived in an environment of criminals, I myself choose whether to be a criminal or not. Might I be influenced? Certainly... But only ignorance of self can allow for something to "control" you.

The choices you make are based on what you LEARN from external sources and you never stop learning. Its the whole basis of psychology and psychiatry. Its not all magically put in your brain by your genes.

Just like your example of teaching your son the right thing. Its a product of your external influence on his choices.

No, it's alright :)

this board is actually one of the high points on the net, the dumbass level on alot of mainstream sites is through the roof

Yes, it has, I have always had a really mean streak and "bully" deep inside of me, it was just repressed and hidden. Gfy really brings it out of me and unleashes my mean, evil side. I am tired of everyone thinking I am a nice sweet person, I am actually pretty mean... or at least I can be... super mean... It's liberating to be mean.

just a little, only with gf

WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?! THAT IS THE STUPIDEST POST I'VE SEEN IN DAYS!

FUCK, GIVE YOUR HEAD A SHAKE AND GRAB A FUCKING BRAIN!!!

SOME PEOPLE.....................................:mad: :mad:



























j/k :1orglaugh

I think it does...

i guess so. there is too much hate on this board sometimes :)

Play nice, you'll make friends.

:)

I think posting online does that to you. There isnt the back and forth of a conversation,so I think it makes it very easy to cross the line. Also not being face to face with someone I think also makes a difference.

GFY doesn't affect me in the slightest outside of when I am on this board. I don't treat anyone any differently.

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!


Unless you have another account you probably don't post enough to feel the effects. You have to sink into a few extremely pointless arguments with trolls before the anger starts to seep into your heart.

Nope I respect each posters here. Being mean doesn't make me a real person too.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

the more i'm on here the worst i treat people irl yes, I love it too

:1orglaugh

Not getting sleep makes me mean... usually from readin all these f'ing posts

Search my past posts.

Im the same , not changed for a long time ago

I see a lot of witty one liners. No real deep flaming. You have to get into one of those nerd fights where you go back and forth for 3-4 posts over semantics alone.

For instance you could say something like "You probably didn't even search my posts because its quite clear many of my posts contain multiple lines" In response to this post.

I've always been a prick, so hopefully this will make me a better person..lol

GFY makes me like poo!

Nah not me :thumbsup

but i think most come here to just "fuck around"

Welcome to the board Homo:321GFY
