We do have bullies. You yourself posted about a murder of some guy who was beaten to death just because he gave money to some folks to use the public toilet. Do you remember that?
Bullies are there everywhere.

Same issues everywhereI wouldn't mind posting my picture but I hate being called fat. So, I won't be doing anything like that until I get a decent figure.
I am camera shy and it's also none of anyone's business what I look like. And the persona I want to have online is the one I want people to see. That is literally the reason anyone uses an avatar.
I never thought people here would say this. May be you should post somewhere separately. I don't want any rate my looks thread
Why wouldn't I take them seriously? They're right. I'm a freak. A monster. I need to just end my life already.![]()
Yes, and exactly for that reason I stopped doing so.
But not only that, but some people would even use your photo as a weapon against you at moments you disagree with them.
And I think that aspect is even worse, since they are taking advantage over something completely innocent, and still put you under pressure with that.
This world is just an untrustworthy place, so better to remain anonymous than to pay a very high price at a later time.
One disciplined and well-mannered family you are from, Star.Well, I never came across a situation like that, so I wouldn't know.
We don't give out our photos of personal information in India, in general. So I have never faced anyone like that.
Well, it's great that you could actually ignore such comments, Ace
Trust me, Indians try to westernize so much, we haven't failed to adopt the meanness either. Also, nah, as Star said, bullies exist everywhere...You're just saying that cause you're from Asia and in your country people are nice to each other and there are no bullies, but here in the Western part of the world people are mean.
You go girl...i am a black and i am not ashamed of it. i don't care what the hell the rest of the folks around me say but i am what i am and the lord is protecting me. you are not a freak or a monster. people who say that you are shitheads who don't know better.
I don't particularly mind doing that, just seems kind of off-topic.
I would surely not post my real picture at all if I were the same as when I was last active here because of plain fear of judgement. "Such an immature kid, what is she even doing here?", "Kids aren't healthy these days... They have become couch potatoes", etc. were the comments I'd mentally make to myself to convince that this is what others will definitely say.
Over the time, few of my real life friends have taken my really "meme-able" pictures and posted on social media (does have privacy) and I have dared to make real life changes to my looks and post them online publicly. So I pretty much did what I was scared of and now I'm over it xD That was really a confidence boast.
Bullying over looks, racism, fat-shaming, abusing of pictures and videos happen not only in Western part of the world, or Japan or India. I'm pretty sure it happens everywhere in one form or other.
It's not like people don't share their private information in India xD If anything, I listen to crimes (or at least teenage dramas of someone's leaked nudes or something) related to pictures every other day...
It is quite stupid... How do people have enough time to be discussing fats, bones and colours. Well, people judge regardless of anything, so the best thing you can ever do for yourself is forgive and accept yourself. Pictures come later... You aren't the disgusting weirdo you were made to believe you were...
Being disinterested in sharing pictures in one thing and being afraid(of judgement, not security issues) to do the same is another. Security issues exist yeah (._.) Well, I personally don't mind that anymore. I mean I cannot imagine the worst way in which my pictures can be used. (there can be worst scenarios, just not for me)
@Ace
Dude, have you ever considered cosplaying Mihawk Hawkeye?! Those eyes :nosebleed:
Don't Indians share their photos online?
Terms and Conditions regarding privacy and security warning are given globally in almost every online portal, aren't they?
Same issues everywhere
Best.
That would be disgusting ._ .
You wouldn't take them seriously because they are as much flawed as you are. They are just getting the upper hand by making you feel you are probably lower than them?
I have witnessed such incidents. They are be truly horrifying mentally. (_ _)
One disciplined and well-mannered family you are from, Star.

You go girl...
Some people use internet to reveal themselves while some use it conceal themselves. It is rather funny.

Taking down Mastodon?SecretWish said:if they take it down suddenly no one can say anything. that's why everyone use facebook.
???????? said:Taking down Mastodon?
Good luck with that, it's impossible due to its decentralised nature!
You can take down one instance, but the network (which by the way is enormous) will still remain.
As for "everyone use Facebook": I don't, and I know much more people who don't.
Therefore, this statement has been debunked.

SecretWish said:when people don't have money, they start thinking only like that. it's the nature of everyone. sponsors are rich so they don't know people problems
SecretWish said:i could post my pic but i don't want to get teased and cover bullied. i posted mine in yo and people made fun of me for years
