Why are people so immature

[Derpy Azusa 272]

Some people truly need to grow up. I don't get why people think it's fun to harass others online and think it's fun. I honestly can't go on websites with out people harassing me or calling me fake and everything I mean we are in 2013 and people need to realize they aren't children anymore I swear I am so close to deleting all my accounts and staying offline. -_-

[Mephala 2,633]

Not to sound offensive, but saying you're going to stay offline cuz of these people seems just as immature. There's always gonna be idiots on the Internet. Report or block them or just ignore them; that's the mature choice. You're not the only one being bothered by these people, chances are.

It's the internet.  Ever heard of the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory?

Welcome to the internet.

There are immature people in the real world, so do in internet.

Ignore them - if you are patient enough, block them - if you can't hold it.

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

No matter what year it is there's always going to be children who think it's cool to troll others on the internet haha. Block, Report and move on. Don't let other get the best of you.

Do not feed the trolls

If you argue with a troll that means they win. 

Ignore them They are just trying to get a rise out of you. 

The best thing to do is to just ignore them.

Get thicker skin.

 

Or if you prefer a more poetic approach, consider the wisdom of Eleanor Roosevelt: "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

 

On a tangentially related note, it might be nice to have a "facehoof" button as a counterpoint to the "brohoof" button.

Hello!

 

People usually grow up around a society, that isn't to mannered. Most will go out with their so called "Friends", learn a few curse words, and then it begins. They take this to the internet, where they feel safe, and can do what ever they want.

 

I'm really not fond of these kind of people, they just get on my nerves, and somehow, make me sad for knowing what the world has become...

If it's any consolation, people have always been like this.  There has never been any human society where people didn't occasionally frequently get on each others' nerves by acting like idiots.

[Galen 1,354]

Take it this way: the only reason they're bothering people online is because they're unable to do anything irl. Most likely, those are the kind of people who live by themselves, where lock themselves up in a room and troll on one forum or another pretty much defines their social life. Don't let it get to you. Ragequitting only spells out their victory.

[Starflower 323]

Immature people are everywhere. IRL and on the internet. Unfortunately, there isn't much to do about it. It's the people themselves that need to change. If you attempt to change them, then it makes things a lot worse than they are right now.

Yes, of course, but i just don't believe, it occured on such a "Scale". Of course, a lot of my negative views come from my own extensive experience with "these" people, so it's only natural for me to imagine or think that the past times were better...

[Betez 1,734]

The people calling you fake and whatnot are probably trolls. It's hard to go to any website nowadays that doesn't have at least one floating around. One o the things everybody needs to learn is to never take anything someone says to you over the Internet personally.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Because it is indeed fun. c:

 

 

But just as everyone else says, ignore them. Especially those on the internet. Id hate to see how bothered you get offline.

[PlunderSteed 1,252]

Whenever I see someone getting butthurt over something small, I can't help but picture Lemon Grab.  That guy has got to be the most easily spun up character in existence.

Thanks everyone sorry for the delay in response was working on something I will try to report and block them hugs for everyone 

[Twinhead B 482]

I can't help feel this was a topic that would've been better off as a blog or status update...

 

Anywho, the internet is full of jerks. Either get thicker skin, or leave, because the internet is beyond repair at this point..

Deleting all of your accounts because of trolls online? Are you sure that this thread isn't actually about you because you sure sound immature.

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 578]

This is one of the reasons I am awfully careful about telling people that I like MLP especially online. I try to not mention it unless I am like here, or a few other places. Trolls are a part of the internet. No matter what year it is, there are always going to be those types of people. Don't let Trolls get the best of you. If you delete all your accounts just because of that , then you're letting them win. It's best to just ignore them and wait for Trolls to troll someone else. If you don't react they will move on to someone else.

[Blue Lightning 275]

You see. the true meaning of maturity is tolerance, understanding, and not taking everything to heart where it's not needed. Not everyone grows up quite the same. To be honest, I'm probably just gonna look like a kid for the rest of my life considering my dream job is to be a rock musician. The point is that no one is ever really mature in the long run. It's like how people define others as weird/normal. What you think is mature might be immature to someone else and vice verca. In my opinion, you're the mature one when you choose not to let something bother you. You know you're a better person than that anyway!

Vannie, its all okay, I get trolled a lot too deary! And also, people, shes having a hard time, give her some rest! She just wants support -_-

 

Anyways, block them report them, ignore them, bully back! And yes, some people can be very ignorant and annoying on the internet and even real life. That's why I ignore and laugh, you also have me

People are immature because too many people have sex before they're ready to have children, and there are tons of crappy parents out there who don't raise people to be mature. 

[Retro*Derpy 3,192]

Well, you are in fact mostly ​ anonymous while online, so people vent all of their immaturity and childishness online since they know there isn't going to be a serve consequence following. (maybe like a ban or something that isn't very effecting)

[Zygen 6,066]

Eh idk people really can be kinda immature, and as much as I'd wish it could be better off overall its just, now how it works I guess.

 

Just gotta ignore them block them and the likes of that, try not to let them get to you.

 

Thankfully the majority of people here are mature, so that type of thing doesn't happen to often, but it is everywhere to some degree. Unfortunately thats just how the worlds become.

 

Kinda sad, but its not like its possible to change everyone, so yeah just gotta toughen up block them and move on.
