why do people attack others when they ask a simple question about drugs?
Question by pixi: why do people attack others when they ask a simple question about drugs?
i was doing some research on some prescription medications i am taking and i found so many answers from people saying things like “don’t take them if you’re worried about it” or some crap like that! i really wish people would be more considerate and intelligent; think before they speak.. because some people actually *do* have legitimate problems and reasons for asking questions. it really upsets me! for example, i wanted to know the difference between one med and another and someone had commented to someone else “you’re addicted! get help!” well yeah, if you take a med every day for any amount of time there will always be some sort of physical addiction, but i don’t think there is a “problem” if you don’t have the *mental* addiction. i really hope people begin to be more understanding and stop assuming things when they don’t even know the person.
does any of this irritate anyone else?
i didn’t exactly say i was “offended.” i said “irritated.”
i guess i’m just a strongly opinionated person.. but i try not to be biased when answering other people’s questions. i don’t answer a question if i’m going to tell someone i think they’re wrong!
i came across some questions and answers when i did a search– i wasn’t asking about meds on here. i’m not an idiot.
there are some things your dr won’t tell you– i see a pain specialist and you’d think she’d answer my questions fully, but i get curious about something and i do a bit of research on my own.. nothing wrong with that.
this question wasn’t about asking about meds. it was about people irritating me.
good points tho, thanks.

umm.. not really. Those people just were misunderstood. They don’t know you so why should you take offense to what they say.

Some people don’t understand what you’re talking about. Make sure you’re asking the right people then go forth and do your research. It’s hard not to get irritated at stupid people. Pay them no mind, since most people who research legitimate information make it much farther in like than those who do not.
