Thoughts Post your little thoughts.

I think communicating on the internet, things can be taken out of context. Being conscious of how you interact is smart

Agree it can prevent a lot of side eye and wtf moments. I have done a lot of thinking about it, i also think when you're dealing with people from different cultures and from different countries what can be thought of as nothing where they come from can be insensitive and historically offensive or hate fueled in someone else's culture abd country.

Agreed, that is why I usually assume people are nice, unless they are shitty on purpose. Lol

I have had a few health problems over the last couple of years and was recently told I may need a hysterectomy as a cancer prevention. Though I dont think Im having children any time soon it feels strange and scary to think about how it's going to change you physically and emotionally.

I agree

These are some pretty big thoughts for a thread about little ones. Lol

In all seriousness, I think it's great when people scroll up or down in any direction or back a few pages when they see a questionable post for context. You guys are really right about the lack of communication when it comes to internet chatting.

Feeling a little bad right now. My closest friend text me crying because she's never being promoted at work and is beginning to internalize it. I feel passed over in life most days so I don't know what to say to her right now that would comfort her. I did promise to take her out to dinner tomorrow night to vent

I recently found out I was gonna do something I haven't done in years, but have been greatly itching to do lately, as part of team building for work.

I would've sighed heavily, grinned, and bore it had it been literally anything else, but if every team building occasion involved it, I'd go to all the team building events.

Some people may not like what I say next, but its genuinely my opinion and I feel it needs to be heard.

As someone who has been overweight their entire life span so far, when skinny people think they have the right to "make" a double chin on them, just to point the camera up to see a different angle, in which shows their face has no double chin whatsoever. This, this is offensive and degrading to someone who has more meat on their bones. I have no problem with skinny people, or any body type for that matter, but when someone does that, then its a huuuuge problem for me. The same applies to skinnier people trying to make themselves look chubbier, or anyone who fatshames. I'm not saying skinny-shaming is not a thing, it most certainly is... however, the amount people that fatshame vs skinny-shame is a much greater value.

Words hurt. Actions hurt. Hating on someone because of what their body looks like? Just because they eat a bit more, or don't eat enough? You're a fucking asshole. Love others for them and their actions, tysm.

Well said. I said something similar and was met with rioters and pitchforks. Telling me to accept demeaning humor because it was a joke. Keep doing you and be fabulous

I first came to FCN a few years ago looking to meet new people and have some fun. I quietly observed for awhile and learned a few things, then when a member posted something that I connected with, I took a chance to introduce myself. We hit it off and became friends. We had such a great connection that it all seemed as if it was meant to be. It was all so wonderful . . . until the day they ghosted me. Things change -- people, life -- some friendships seem to run their course. Other than that I have no idea what happened. It's not the first time I have experienced the end of a friendship for seemingly unknown reasons. I can be shy and quiet, and making new friends is not an easy thing, so maybe that makes it harder when a friendship ends. I have come back to FCN again, hoping to meet new people and have some fun, but I don't feel much confidence in the prospect of making new friends, or maybe I'm just a little gun shy after being ghosted.

That's a normal response. We should all be careful tbh but we are only human. I'm glad you're back
