Mean people

Posted by PhoenixGirl on February 19, 2005, at 19:20:39

I've been experiencing people who are really mean to me about my depression. It's either "You're f-ed up and crazy" or "There's noting really wrong with you, you're just trying to get attention." Most of these people are on a message board I belonged to, since I don't know many people at all except for online. That message board was created for people in their 20's who are having a hard time adjusting to life and figuring out what they want to do.
But when I'd be in the depths of despair, I'd post on the site. I'd express when I was fantasizing about suicide or when I was afraid that I'm becoming an alcoholic. Then I would get responses like the ones above. When I said that wasn't fair, they would gang up on me even more. Yesterday I posted on the site that I'm just not coming back and said goodbye. After I left, a bunch of people posted remarks like "I'm glad she's gone. She was so annoying" and "What an attention whore. I didn't believe a thing she said."
Why are so many people like this? Have other people here encountered these kinds of attitudes?
