I'm sorry to bother with my silly whines, I'm just so lame with Se that I always use to fall in some sort of bullies' traps. What happened lately is something that is really annoying to me, because it's related to what I do as a hobby, and that I'd like to pursue as a career, that is astrology.
I'll tell you what happened, and I hope you can help me to respond to the provocations and attacks I have received in the most proper and useful way.
Last February I signed in an astrology forum, and since the start it was a very challenging experience. I come from an Italian astrological tradition, that spread in the 80's, for which astrology has to be faced in a very scientific way. It even changes many rules that traditional astrology takes for granted... So I found myself in the position of being "the black sheep" of that astrology forum, from the very scratch. People would come out of nowhere to literally insult the method I use, before understanding it. Then they started insulting myself.
I really believe in this discipline, I didn't want to give up because of a bunch of ignorant and uncivil people, but the harassments started to become a daily thing I had to go through, I had to defend myself everyday from some ignorant attacks. That's when I decided to make myself get banned. So I said some silly things in a thread I was engaged in, like "co**suckers", and "you all mods sux". And then I was free.
Of course, after that, all the people who had always attacked me started to throw venom and whatnot, at my back, when I couldn't respond. It was surprising to see even the ones who I didn't even ever talk with; they all had something bad to say about me, personally: I can't live, I'm too serious/frustrated, I don't have sex, I'm just an idiot.. everything you can imagine, it got out of proportion.
Of course, I couldn't accept such a treatment. I never disrespected anyone on there, just questioned their views, sometimes accusing them of poor reasonings, because of the things they were saying. I logged myself back, with another account I was keeping (just in case), and I made a big ethical lecture on their very unfair behavior, saying they were just proving how low they were... of course, I got banned again, and they went on insulting me. =))
The thing that stings me is that I gave all I had in my head in that forum, and some people came to me asking to read their charts, because I use to be very accurate in readings. It's been very embarrassing to think that those people could see what the forum was throwing to me, because, despite I know I never did anything wrong, and I just threw silly insults in order to get rid of all those bad vibes in the end... people's opinions are always able to influence others. So that if the majority thinks someone's an outcast, or an idiot... or.. (they said all kind of things, ugh) without a reason, they'll influence everyone. And I hate to be seen like that, by someone who counted on me...
Now, I subscribed to another astro forum. And who do I see today? One of the idiots that insulted me at my back. He just subscribed and was presenting himself in the welcoming section. Of course, all he did was bragging about how deep he is, how empathic and helping all people consider him... He even said he's very mature for his age, because he went through things that we humans can hardly even imagine... Of course he's even one of the most intelligent because he works as a tech assistant... (I wanted to puke)
3 people answered him, saying "Oooo I know, you look so deep omg! welcome welcome!"
Then I popped up, explained all that he did in the other forum, and finally told him that he wasn't welcomed, and to go back at the idiotic buddy chatty forum where he came from.
I've talked about this with my bf, he told me to denounce him lol...
I don't actually know if I behaved correctly, by spoiling him in front of everyone. I think now people will see me as the "bad gurl" in the new forum too, just because I showed to have some beef with a new member... but I just did that because of all the shit he had put me through.
Again, the thing that troubles me the most in this story is that such condemns ruin my reputation. Astrology for me is like a profession, and if people can read s*** about me, who would want to make their chart read by me?
Why can such people say all they want with all the consents from the mass? What should I do? Even in order to avoid to be attacked like this again in the future...
The denounce thingy might seem out of proportion, but I'm seriously considering it if things will keep playing like this. This is bad not just for my "professionalism" but even for my mental health.
