This girl is a perfect example of 'They are just jealous." gone terribly wrong. What I'm referring to it the oft (unfortunately) practiced comforting method employed by some Mothers.
June 1, 2010 at 7:19:00 AM EDTAnyone doesn't like you? "They are just jealous, honey."
Well, no, most of the time it's because you are flat out unlikable. Easier to throw that out there then to, I don't know , FIX the behaviors.
Really, it's few and far between that peers dislike you out of jealousy unless you are some real hot smoking deal.
BC doesn't even rate a smolder.
What on earth is going on with this person?

But you know what never fails to anchor me firmly in the now, far away from the sheer DESPAIR that the masses inspire? Making deep scratches in my arms and legs, over and over, hard enough to draw blood. I have scars from when I used to do this. Thought I’d given it up; it scared me. I don’t feel so scared now.

________________
Oh the irony.
How do you think that the mothers should comfort their kids that are crying because they don't have friends? Tell them that its because they are unlikable? "Yes, honey, I know they don't like you. Its just because there is nothing about you to like. Can't say I blame them, I only like you because I have to. Now why you don't you try to be more like them? You can be mean to the that freak Billy down the street, then you'll fit in."
June 3, 2010 at 12:11:00 PM EDTI'm betting that you either don't have kids, or are one of those "my kid can do no wrong" parents.
Sure, some kids have issues. But no, not 'most of the time'. I agree that it is not really because they are jealous. more likely its because they are assholes. Surely wouldn't want them to fix their behavior...better to make the other person conform.
Etsy is a prime example of the assholery.
mds, there's a line between "you're unlikeable" and "they're jealous". And yes, I'm a mom, and yes, I'm dealing with this right now. Oh, lovely 9yo boys! I remind my son of his talents, remind him that he DOES have friends (kids often think they have NO friends when they do have one or two good friends), remind him of things he likes to do, etc. "They're just jealous" is a petty and dangerous road.
June 4, 2010 at 12:18:00 PM EDTAnd BC...gah she needs to go away. I can't stand the bitch. And you know what? I'm a cutter too. But I don't go on the etsy forum and brag about it. Attention whore.
When I was a kid and I ever complained about kids being mean to me, my parents would ask me what I did to provoke them. Because you must have done something.
June 4, 2010 at 8:08:00 PM EDTIt taught me a very important lesson:
Never complain to my parents about people being mean to me.
Everything is your own fault.
Real World 101.
BC has talked on the forum last year about cutting and even threatened suicide to where someone called the cops on her. (not me, I don't know who did it, someone who gives a damn)
"You'll all be sorry when I'm dead" type childish bullshit.
So a thread like this where she pretends not to know her own history, is just in such poor taste! Either it is crying wolf for attention in which case she needs to STFU, or she really is crying for help and this is SO the wrong place to get it.
Someday she (or someone else) really will need help and ppl will ignore her because of stunts like this.
I don't know what to think.
June 5, 2010 at 6:12:00 PM EDTOn one hand BC is very annoying and seems to be playing games on the forums to get a rise out of people.
On the other hand, someone who does what she does is indeed sick. Is it worth ganging up on her just because she's are annoying. I certainly don't want her to harm herself over some petty stuff on Etsy forums.
If I was talked to the way she has been and my personal life and flaws were exposed on the forums for everyone to comment about, I would never post again.
That she does continue to post tells me she is so damn lonley and/or sick, she'll put up with the abuse just to have some interaction with people. Obviously she gets hurt by it, but she keeps coming back again and again.
It's like she keeps trying to fit in, but is so socially awkward that she can't. She certainly is a rare duck.

That would only be ironic if I were complaining about people not liking me. Or being jealous.
I thought I'd spell that out for you.
Really reaching these days, huh?

June 5, 2010 at 8:43:00 PM EDTI'm betting that you either don't have kids, or are one of those "my kid can do no wrong" parents.
............
There is a middle road here. I do have children, one Bi Polar one Autistic. There are times when they are not liked because of their behavior. Rather then be lazy and in denial, It's better for me to talk to them about how to fix that.
When someone is an asshole to them, then yes, they are an asshole.
The world, the healthy world, is not made up of extremes. To function in it there is give and take. To pat your child on the head and there there them because you don't want to deal with reality and enable them to function and be happy, is the worst kind of parenting.
I deal with your one sided scenario almost daily. Not once have I told either anyone was jealous. I have said they (the bullies)suck basically and intervened to stop the bullying behaviors.
All the while attempting to teach my sons life skills to enable them to mesh enough for THEM to be happy.
And yes, sometimes my ten year old is a jerk. And we work with that. Not have children?
Hardly. My kid IS the freak down the street, FFS. Get a grip.
FWIW (I'm feeling chatty) what is being written off as people being mean, in this case, on the forum? It's anger from people who have lived with what she's exploiting for attention. She's a poseur. Those of us who have managed to live through things like this (and often lost ones we cared about) find it repugnant.
June 5, 2010 at 8:51:00 PM EDTAnd since my word verification is upitud I'm smiling.
People should think before they jump to conclusions, people as a whole are decent. If you see a few who you think are being mean, consider there may be a back story. Or not, your call.
I don't want her to harm herself either but if she is seriously going to do that she needs to GTFO the forums and get REAL help somewhere else.
June 5, 2010 at 9:39:00 PM EDTAlmost immediately after posting her "You'll all be sorry!" threats, she backpedals and says "Oh I'd never do that". So, what to believe? If you'd never do it then don't fucking threaten it.
The thing is, she *is* capable of controlling her behavior. She doesn't pull this crap on her own blog and when someone said "take this to your blog", she said she had no intention of talking about "such things" on her blog.
So if she can control it there, then she COULD control it on Etsy too, but chooses not to. She chooses the innocent Etc members as the recipient of this performance.
One minute she's about to off herself, the next minute she has a new girlfriend and everything is awesome, who knows if ANY of it is true. If she doesn't get the reaction she wants from one tactic, she does a 180 and tries another story.

I thought you were saying that BC was flat out unlikeable, like you are. That was the irony.
After reading your first post again, I realize it's just another of your nonsensical tantrums. That was my mistake, I should of known better.
On behalf of Etsians everywhere, I do want to thank you for keeping a low profile in the forums lately.
P.S. You've been selling soap for over a year. I'd think if you were likeable you'd have 1000's of sales. Something to think about, or in your case, bitch about. Get a clue.

Ahhh, I see. It's almost as if she's doing some kind of expose on responses to her bizarre forum behavior.
Is her blog under BC or her real name? I wonder if her family or friend(s)? follow her blog, could that be the reason?
Yeah I think it must be because the blog is easier to find by relatives and from her deviantart profile or something. Also maybe because she uses it to promote her crafts and doesn't want "that sort of thing" to sully her business blog?
June 7, 2010 at 3:46:00 AM EDTWhich then begs the question, why would you want it linked to your Etsy account which is also your business??
The alien anthropologist theory is as good as any to explain her shenanigans.
(p.s. I like the goat. She makes me lol)

Calpix, GoatMountain also sells soap from her website. I know - I've bought some from there instead of from her Etsy shop. She makes some of the best soap I've ever used. Not having thousands of sales on Etsy doesn't mean shit.
