@The O.P, I think that tends to happen to most people on here at one time or another. Especially when they're not really friends with anyone on the board. It happens to newbies a lot as some groups are just super cliquey. The bullies who gang up on you and other people are scum. There is nothing wrong with you.

I agree with what everyone said on here, especially Gemma. It's tough to meet nice sane female friends at times who aren't competitive and for real both on here and in real life. A lot of people on line aren't who they appear to be either. Maybe they see you as a threat or an easy target. Maybe they don't like it when people call them out on their crap? The reasons are endless. Perhaps they can't deal with any opinion that is different from their own.

The stupid crap that people say on here is laughable at times. Making threats is easy to do on here. Anyone can be an Internet "tough guy or woman" on here. How do you even know that they're even adults? They might be teenagers or kids for all you know! You have to be very, very careful with people on here!

To many people can pretend to be someone of the opposite sex, they can be a young person pretending to be older, or an older person pretending to be younger, a single person pretending to just want "friends" (meaning they have an agenda, and it's usually sex they're really after), a married person who's pretending to be single, etc....

Report the bullies to the admin of the site. Or if things get to be to bad, just change your user name and only tell people who you really trust what your user name is and who you were before. If things don't change for the better, then just leave that site for good. I'm sure that not all message boards are like that. Some are better than others. It's always good to stick up for yourself. Most bullies will eventually leave you alone unless they are truly insane after awhile.

They are just angry people who will lash out at just about anyone. They come on the message boards looking for a fight. Don't try to reason or argue with them as it's like trying to blow down a brick wall using your breath only.

To all of you who were ever bullied or ignored on message boards, it's almost NEVER about you and more about the bullies! Sensitive and depressed people DO take things more personally than they should. I'm that way too, but I try not to let the stupid haters get to me as much as I can. It's easier said than done!

Here are some funny videos that show what internet trolls are like. The two videos are super hilarious and it'll make just about anyone laugh!
