a bit of a livejournal disclaimer and explanation and empathization all in one.
so if anyone understood my post last night, good for you.
what i meant was.. okay - I've been part of the livejournal community for over 3 years (almost 4 infact) and when i first joined, I went through all sorts of livejournal drama. between bitchy girls who didnt like me and asshole guys who thought i wasnt as cool as my livejournal showed i was (haha) i had my own share of hundreds of anonymous comments.
but that was in seventh and eighth grade.
after 4 years I've realized that no matter who you are, you will experience shit from people when you first get your lj and other people realize they have the power of the anonymous comment. But also, after 4 years, i've realized this shit also goes away.
recently some kids who are joining up in livejournal land are dealing with this. whether its one small thing about words on one person's lj, or a million posts on a completley different group's ljs about a whole load of shit... its happening again.
So I am veryhappy I've been around for a while and dealt with this a long time ago, and dont have to deal anymore.. because i think at 16 17 and 18 years old were all too old to be doing this "anonymous bitch you out on the internet" thing. C'mon kids, this is not schoolscum.com era, were over this. be friends.
so my note to all this is - if your being harassed, ignore it. if its true, fine - ignore it. if its not true, fine - ignore it. if your harassing, quit it or get it out of your system because your typing shit up, whether true or not, is a waste of energy.
believe me.. they'll get bored with it. and the majority of it will stop.
but also, fellow livejournalers - sometimes, you do have to take to heart what these people are saying. because some of the time, its your friends anonymously commenting, telling you the truth as they wish they could show you how it was.. but dont want to hurt your feelings or your friendships.
looking back, i realize that some shit people said to me anonymously was true...and i take that to heart.
and i know that most of it was false.. and i just ignore it.
