How bad is the stigma and the judgemental ******

Hi cp, this thread makes my blood boil, a few of us have been following it with great interest but i have refrained from posting, i think that the mud slingers are just not worth it! they know nothing about what people on here go through.

creditpunch, the Real world is not like that, the chances of you meeting anyone that has the ba11s to say things like whats in that thread to your face is almost zero:D

Its easy to type mindless drivel when your behind the safety of a computer screen;)

I read the whole thread through and the majority of people who posted on it are the type of people who will always believe that they are better than everyone else and if you had a black dog, theirs would be blacker (if you know what I mean), just take with a very large dose of salt and remind yourself that even if you did get yourself in this mess, you're still a far better person than they'll ever try to be. And just remember that what goes round, comes round, so they'll get their just desserts one day.

How do we deal with judgemental points of view, and how do we remain sane. I can't live in the safe, supportive world of this forum forever however hard I try.

Dear creditpunch,

If you stumbled on the means to alleviate all pain and suffering in this world, for every human, animal, plant, insect and politician there'd still be an overwhelming number of people desperate to hang you from a "sour old apple tree".

You should completely ignore people that seek to make themselves feel better by adding to the misery and discomfort of others; they're scarecly fit to wipe one's bottom on.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

The thing that makes this country great (despite all the mess etc, I think that it is) is the fact we are allowed free speech. We are allowed to have our own opinions and we are not censored. (legalities of defamation, slander aside etc). If someone wants to think that way, then they are allowed and permitted to do so. Sadly, the Daily Mail tends to be the majorities only source of information.....

However, this is a faceless forum and people say what they think will make them appear to be great. These are the same people who are all talk and no action and try to "big themselves up" (as my teens would put it!)

Don't get angry about it. Feel great! Its great they think that way. We can feel smug at later dates when they turn up with tails between legs asking for advice.



And TBH, my views were similar many years ago. Okay, they were no way as severe as those in that thread, but until I started to accept that BR was my course of action, I was quite anti it. How could someone just walk away from debts like that when the rest of us struggled?? The grass is not always greener. If the grass is greener on your side then you are fortunate. But you don't know that at the time!
