Crybabies

Post Reply New Topic

I'm curious what is your opinion on crybabies? What is it that motivates them to act so pathetic? Is it a cry for attention or sympathy? Is it because they have lost an angument and now have nothing else to fall back on? I just think they like people feeling sorry for them. Also me thinks they are trying to be manipulative.

Can you define what exactly you mean by 'crybaby'?

Personally this tiff that you have going with Graelwyn, while it may involve bulling, etc is essentially female rivalry. You are both using these discussions as ways of getting each other. I had it explained to me even my friend who is the most humanist open minded person says she has difficulty having a female boss. Some people call it bitchiness, it is a derogatory term but that’s what it referrers to. It is a primal thing that works both ways. Btw I'm not trying to be misogynist and have only excluded men because it isn't particularly relevant. We all have primal behaviours this is just one of many.

It is perfectly reasonable that someone can cry frequently because they have been very hurt or have experienced some kind of personal trauma and are devastated or in a state of extreme distress.

It is a normal human reaction to emotionally painful experiences and should not be criticised.

It is no better than criticising people who suffer from depression or panic attacks for example.

If someone is this upset they need reassurance and support. Or, if not in a position to provide that, at least leave them in peace!

you have not heard of 'tough love' then ?
I don't like the terminology, but the concept seems sound (and effective in some cases).

Lol Matt Damon!

Cry babies dont bother me that much, I still try to understand what is bothering them before reacting in some way.

Bullies and crybabies are cut from the same cloth. They both seek attention via negative means. They are part of the same natural sadomasochistic personality club. Likely we all to some degree have those traits. Though extreme examples of both types on WP have caused alot of conflict.

They tend to offer very little real empathy or support for fellow members here and their only goal is to extract from WP. Both types tend to seek each other out. My view as a moderator is its not my job to deal with them. And any members who get involved in such threads on WP pretty much are on their own for as I'm concern.

The only effective scalable way to deal with the problem is to ignore people you have a problem with it. Its just that simple.

I was one of those crybabies, last year. Thank God that's over with.

Bizarre, stop these f*****g stupid threads aimed at another member. It's utterly pathetic.
