Benjo, no one here has anything against you on a personal level or thinks you're any less of a men or any of that bullshit, get off it, in fact I think you seem like a pretty decent bloke.
No one makes fun of you for the sake of making fun of you, you have to realize how naïve you come across at times and how acting like a spoiled brat at other times is never going to endear you to anyone, and this isn't just FFT I'm talking about, this is life. This is an internet forum dedicated to opinion, arguments and jokes ensue constantly but you need to depersonalize it and realize there is no malice behind anything anyone here does. TBH mate, I think you're a good bloke but at times here you act with a certain naivety that illustrates a lack of sensitivity or understanding with the rest of us, I didn't realize you have depression, that fucking sucks and I'm sorry, but sitting here accusing everyone isn't going to help things at all, the common link is you, and I'm not saying you have to change the way you act but maybe occasionally take the time to consider the ramifications and perceptions that will be formed from what you post, do that anywhere and you might just find you will start to get along better with everyone.

you just need to smile about it benjo. that constant coffee jokes, the harassment of ajohn for supporting hundreds of teams, kc getting blasted regularly because she menstruates when the majority of us don't, etc - no one actually gets serious with the comments. it's all fun and games, sarcasm & wit - and to me highlights that you're apart of a pretty tight-nit (online) community that actually pays attention to you. it's a good thing. just smile about it, give sarcastic comments back.
apart from people hating on your vipers, COYS and socawhos, apart from afroVnotor, there's really nothing that goes on in the threads of this foz which is actually serious & meant to be hurtful - literally every joke about someone else is sarcasm. go with it, don't get upset - be happy that you're apart of it.

I am so fucking sick of you guys bringing that up, thinking it's a joke. Guess what? You made your jokes, you had your fun, I didn't mind it. But now, I'm about to break. I am so fucking sickj of all the shit I cop on here. Everything I post is responded to with "Oh, did he/she knock back your coffee". Get some orginality. I never acted like it wasn't my fault she went off with that guy, I never said I did nothing wrong and yet people just pick on me for fun, make jokes about it. And guess what? It hurts. I'm not going to pretend it doesn't.
I get it. You're all men, and I'm sensitive. I don't expect you to understand. I'm different from you, I post differently, I act differently. But I'm not changing who I am just to suit you lot. Yeah, so I've posted things that people think are wussy and not manyl. Hell, this explosion, what's the bet some one calls me out for being a girl? And tells me to stop being a prima donna? But this is the level I've reached. I'm so fucking sick of it.
I've copped a lot of shit in my life. It's funny, everyone told me I had to ask that girl to coffee, and when i did and she said yes and then changed her mind, all you could do is make fun of me. For those who know me, they know the one thing I lack is self confidence.
I've been posting on here for ages. And I wondered why people left. And now I see why. People will call me a girl, they'll say things like "Gee, Benjo was a douche who was too sensitive". Maybe I am too sensitive, but it's who I am. And i sure as hell don't need people constantly making that same joke over and over at my expense.
None you know thins, but I've been seeing a pysch for a couple of months, and I was diagnosed with depression last month. This site won't help me get better. The people on here just make fun of me. I know people don't like me, i don't expect to be liked by everyone, i don't expect people to agree with the things I post. But quite honestly, when you're depressed, and everyone makes jokes about you which just hurt, you just feel shitter than ever.
And you'll say "one tiny post made him cry like a baby". No, this is merely the straw that broke the camle's back.
Inb4 someone tells me to get over myself. lol

Hey Benjo, I get the same way about a joke being used repeatedly, but on here it really does help to joke along with it. None of us have any personal vendetta against you or any of that.
Personally I'd rate you highly and think that you're a top bloke, and sometimes jokes (that weren;t really funny in the first place) can get to you over time. Just don't lose your head over it buddy.

I've applied for about 60 jobs in the last month. Still jobless. Chin up mate. Wow. That's a lot. Out of curiosity, what type of work are you after? Yeah, my chin's been up for a while now, but this is starting to become a bit soul destroying (I'm sure you know the feeling). I've worked my arse off for the last 4 years, lived in my own bubble due to the difficulty of my degree, there was pretty much nothing to do at work when I finished last year, hence being on hiatus from work (great timing) and now more rejections are flooding in.

I frankly disagree and see a lot of it as ignorance and arrogance all mashed into one. He should have no reason to feel the way he does because people here feel the need to make themselves feel better at his expense. I also see traits in people on this forum who make fun of others to make themselves look and feel better. What on earth is the point of having mods if not to control some of this?

Just a question, why do some people make jokes at my expense? Is it because I'm an easy target? I'm just curious, that's all.

I have a certain limit to how many jokes I take. Yeah, I'd been having a shit day, which influenced that. But at the same time, i've been taking these jokes for weeks and eventually something's gotta give. I've been bullied my whole life and I've learned to take it. I'm used to friends being douchey towards me. I'm used to people on here giving me crap. And I can take it. But when it's something like love and relationships, that's where I start to get pissed off. It's not easy for me to take jokes in that sort of area. That whole coffee incident did hurt me, and it doesn't help that everytime I came on here, someone seemed to joke about it. And it built up and built up and otday, I could take no more. I know the way in which I responded was probably over the top, but it's the culmination of a lot of people making fun of me about something which actually hurt.

A lad comes out saying that he is being hurt by some of the jokes people make at his expense so what do some of you do, make more jokes?
Whatever the history grow up and give it a rest. If it were any of you in the same position i'm sure you'd not appreciate it.

Look, I'm all for having a joke and a laugh (people who know me personally would second that), but when an issue (no matter how 'small' it may seem to you) is clearly troubling someone, I don't think a joke is appropriate. There's only so long you can laugh a joke off before it becomes belittling and makes you feel like there's something wrong with you. Trust me, I've been there myself in real life.
Yes everyone cops jokes/a ribbing here (Benjo for the whole coffee thing, me for being from Newcastle lol, AJohn for supporting all those teams, KC for being moody sometimes), but I think Benjo cops it the most. Lately, it's been "coffee this, coffee that" for most things he posts lately. The guy obviously isn't as confident with the ladies as the other 99% of you, and it's hard for him, but that's no need to keep letting him know about it.

If he's hurt by people making jokes about petty things such as T-Shirt's and Meals, I sincerely question why he even bothers coming onto ET. There is no agenda against Benjo, people just call it how they see it, and if its fucking petty why can't people say so. Edited by jlm8695: 22/1/2013 08:46:44 PM
