When did we all become so jaded
I'm sure the crowds will come hunt me down but anyone else feel like everyone is so jaded and everyone is out for something and everything is tacky
You throw a party you are asking for gifts
You celebrate big for a birthday,you are a show off
You donate to a go fund. You are a sucker
Call me naive but with all this hate and sometimes a real crappy world why do we have so many issues with celebrations

Re: When did we all become so jaded
I agree. Sometimes we take things way too serious or it's our way or the highway, in cases like this we really need to take a chill pill. We're not the center of the universe, specially if we have a negative thinking, lol!

I agree, why can't people be happy for each other and just celebrate.
Life is to serious the majority of the time, it feels good to forget that and celebrate something happy.
Some people are just bitter no matter what

Re: When did we all become so jaded
I wouldn't consider myself jaded at all.
I am however skeptical of certain people and their intentions.
We ALL know people who are only out for themselves and there's a difference between being put off by them vs. being genuinely happy for people in general.

Re: When did we all become so jaded
It's not just about celebrations. I got called out for suggesting that someone accused of causing a major car accident might have been distracted by the fact that they were smoking while driving---like that could never be the case.
I think there are lots of inconvenient truths out there and some people can't handle views that make them question themselves. And lots of stuff about people in general that make them react strangely to benign suggestions or ideas.
There are also people who make everything about them. And people who are just rude and don't hesitate to talk to others like they're in an altercation instead of on a message board. Just like in real life.
And stirrers who  and thrive on watching others be nasty to one another--most of reality TV seems to be geared toward them these days.
It's a lethal combo.

When did we all become so jaded
I agree. Very jaded. And no no one can be happy for each other. My in laws are like this and I continuously ask my husband why his family has to make everything about them and so critical drives me nuts. I think it makes me even nuttier because as a behaviorist/ psychologist I completely just can read people when making these statements and instantly know their underlying attentions! People just need to be happy and not so critical of other people- your not in their shoes! This world is just not big enough for so many of their egos!!!

But on the flip side why do people take a differing opinion so personally.
People ask for opinions and then just all upset when some thing differs. Why not just say ok that's not my view and move on. IMO most of this stuff on here isn't worth getting upset about unless it is downright mean.
And yes people can word their opinions better

When did we all become so jaded
I think a lot of it is that people also can't see how "me me me" they are, are hypersensitive to a differing opinion, and are overall very intolerant if things that don't understand. People like to make a blanket statement and fight tooth and nail instead of saying, I don't agree but I'm not going to put other people down. No one seems capable anymore of trying to see things from other perspectives. There's no tolerance anymore. The micro aggressions here alone make my head spin.

Re: When did we all become so jaded
I would love to see if the same people who talk smack on the board here would do it to your face in person. Chat boards are just a place for people to get on their and hide behind their computers.
I honestly feel bad for those who are just looking for advice that get belittled by people. It's just not right. They ask for one thing not your opinion on something else.

I agree some people should just say ok and move on when people give their opinions. But at the same time Some people are down right rude and it is usually the same people, and I think that is what is so frustrating.
Listen at the end of the day this is the internet and the majority of us don't know who is typing on the other side. So if you really want to do something and so and so says its a sucky idea honestly just ignore them and move on.

Re: When did we all become so jaded
I agree -
Generally people are just miserable and looking for something to b*tch about.
You can't please everyone.
But, I also think that a lot of what we might say online as "oh that's tacky' or "she's showing off' etc etc.
these are things that w/o the internet, you'd be thinking, but never 'say' out loud.
I still don't think people are saying this to their host's face KWIM?

Re: When did we all become so jaded
I think many people just want to hear that they are not wrong and don't want to take advice. They want everyone to agree with them all the time. That is not life. We all have to sometimes agree to disagree. Even with your own spouse/so that happens.
The sad part is also that so many people are looking for the easy way out and how many stories do we now see of people robbing banks and making gofundme's for things that you wouldn't never imagine asking for years ago? Too many.

I think many of the people doing the b*tching are just miserable, jealous, unhappy ... Why else criticize someone else's life? I personally feel that if your fulfilled in your own life, you dont really notice what other people are doing.

When did we all become so jaded
Could part of it do with our current "Anything Goes " culture conflicting with past conservative/"traditional " ideologies.. Makes me wonder... Years ago what people saw as "right" and "wrong" were more clearly identified (whether you agreed with it or not). I think overall people were generally more conservative and confirmative years ago. Now that we are more connected to different people/cultures/ideas our views start to be influenced, questioned and changed. Things aren't so ridgid and clearly defined anymore which leads to us challenging different ideas.
That said, I'm not jaded - some people ARE just tacky lololol jk. It's likely a combo of both ;)
ETA:Funny, I happened to get a birthday invitation in the mail yesterday requesting gift cards. I immediately thought LIF hot topic!!!!

See, I'm so jaded that I'd ask when people got so tacky!
Seriously though, if you don't find a party to be inappropriate, don't go.

I'm on a hockey board that's all men and they are much worse than this board! It's crazy how catty they can be. Me and the admin (who is pretty much the only other woman who frequently posts) laugh about this all the time.

When did we all become so jaded
I think a lot of posts on these boards have proved people aren't just about celebrating. They complain if:
1. Gift isn't $$ enough
2. Gift isn't cash
3. Gift isn't given
4. Guest doesn't attend
