Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Stupid Is As Stupid Does:
The Forrest Gump Syndrome On Wondir.

Mama always said “Stupid is as stupid does”

One of the most memorable lines in the movie Forrest Gump. But, how does it apply to Wondir?

Oh you’d be surprised…

Ever had a poster who just repeatedly asked the same question over and over and over again?

We all have. But how do you handle it?

Me, I repost the same answer I gave the first time.

But every now and then we’ve all had the poster who refuses to even acknowledge you or anyone else, except if you post what they WANT to hear.

There are people out there that only want you to back-up what they want to hear. If they don’t want to hear it, they’ll ignore you, most likely give you a zero on the ratings and keep posting until someone says what they really want to hear.

As annoying as it is, we all have to learn to live with it, post what is your hearts best response, open and honest and truthful, and move on.

There are people who wallow in their unhappiness and want you, me or anyone to be their backbone.

“Tell me what I want to hear…”

Sorry, I’ll tell you want you need to hear, what you may not want to hear and on occasion I’ll tell you what you want to hear…If you’re right.

If they are registered users you get to know these people, but most of them just want the instant gratification and they’re gone…the dreaded WGuest.

But some might stick around, how do you handle them?

Not easy, but monitor them, read their posts…see their responses…maybe they’ve learned from us, or at least become a little more open-minded to other possibilities. If you can achieve that, take a bow, you’ve worked Wondirs…

The main thing is to not get too bogged down on one post (Yeah, I’m a GREAT one for giving that advice…post on Wondir, spend 6 months on AIM in the same convo). Don’t let them steal your joy and your motivation. We’ve all here to help, or we should be…and on a personal note again, if you aren’t on Wondir to help…GO AWAY, you’re just part of the problem.

Be true to yourself and what you believe, post with your head and your heart and don’t let this contagious disease make you its next victim.
