Unfortunately, all we know of her is what she posts on GC. So we are saying...BASED ON HER POSTS...that she whines an awful lot. Yes, times get bad. Yes, we all whine. But not perpetually. No, I don't have to read these threads, nor do I have to post to them. But sometimes it is time to stop coddling people and time to let them know what is up. If AlphaSigLana smiles all the time, I would like to hear about that too, not just the negative stuff.

As far as the situation at hand, here is what I say, take it for what it's worth:

If you act anything in real life like you do on GC, then you are INDIRECTLY asking for what you get. People probably don't want to listen to what you have to say because it gets a little tiresome to hear someone constantly drone on about how bad they have it. And no one forces you to listen to them either. If you get tired of listening to them drone on, just don't listen anymore. Simple.

As far as your laptop getting stolen, vandalism, yadda, yadda, yadda, well sorry. But if you play the role of the victim, you will get victimized. I don't want anyone on this thread using any weird rape analogies about that statement either. I am saying that if you project to people that you are vulnerable and needy (as you do on GC), people are going to treat you as such.

Again, I am just as sympathetic as the next person. But if I notice someone wallowing in their own self-pity, it really makes me wanna tell them to suck it up and move on. If you want to get over it, you are going to have to stop making excuses and just do it.
