Hiding Behind the Mask

Most of those who know me, know that I do not shy away from confrontation. That is a quality of myself I take pride in, and it will never change. I am a big believer that your actions must support your words, so if you are going to tell someone something, or threaten something then you better be ready for your actions to compliment what you are stating...otherwise I don' t understand the point in you even opening up your mouth and speaking nothing but lies??

It really irks be when people use the internet to bully other people or talk down towards an individual - they "hide" behind a computer screen and then think they are better than others. The most obnoxious part is when these people use the internet or computer to post/send messages to the public, known acquaintances of the victim or to the specific individual they choose to target and then use security features to keep such people from responding or seeing only specific statements or comments. Or how about when these people hack into a victim's online account to try and send out false lie or misleading messages in their name in order to slander an individual or attempt to turn people against them!?  How is it someone can be SO nosy and consumed on keeping up tabs on someone's life when they have their own life, and sometimes a family to worry about first?

[the adults who engage in these activities as well REPULSE me - don't you have a job, a husband, kids - or those who are single - don't you have a job, or maybe school, or a social life - all these things that should be what your life revolves around, but instead these people out there place ALL those chances and life blessing second to the individual on which they have an obsessed focused of that they cannot rid themselves of]

These people have to literally "stalk" someone else just to be content with day-to-day doings, and even that doesn't always satisfy the deeply driven impulse or need. Or someone explain to me HOW and WHY someone who has no part in someone's life (asides from jealousy they have something they can't ever get and are miserable in their own life) is going to get so emotionally and physically worked up or upset and have such a huge reaction to the decisions made or actions taken in this other person's life. How does anything this person someone is obsesed with stalking or harassing or bullying online affect the obsessee's life??

It boils down to the jealousy and insecurity of these attackers behind their computer screens. You can deny it all you want, but when you have to use the computer to try and get under someone's skin, especially when you have the resources to handle your issues in person - I don't know whether you are pathetic or just that addicted to a drama-prone life.

I guess for me - I just don't understand it all? I cannot comprehend how or why some people have to go out of their way to attempt and hurt others, or tear apart their relationships? Can anyone actually explain this phenomenon to me? This whole "cyber-bullying" things has gone crazy to the extreme. And I don't know if it is more sad that these incidents are happening so often, and people resort to this kind of childish behavior - or if no one in society is surprised anymore when they hear of another suicide by child/teenager due to cyber-bulling or technology based harassment.

If I myself EVER say anything online or about someone not in their presence - you better believe it means I am ready and willing to say it to their face as well. Some people may doubt this - but the reality is those who doubt - it means I have already said something to your face or admitted to something and it's not that I have offended you but rather nailed the truth on the head and that then is YOUR guilt making you feel offended. Then your instincts kick in and tell me I am liar and I have no idea what I am talking about. Funny how that works right? People try to hard to deny and hide the truth about situations or about themselves, about their past - and when you focus SO hard on suppressing such things, you really are opening the door for others to see the true you and see through the facade. 

Such a topic stirs my emotions; I go from being irritated, to angry, to feeling sorry and sympathetic for the attackers, but of course still feeling pain for the victims! It's a problem in society, and one quite frankly I know won't be going away and one people always talk about  but does anyone eve actually do anything to try and stop it? Do you jump on the band wagon? Or do you simply ignore it until it affects you or someone you love?
