This past few weeks has been a bit of a rolacoaster ride....I have been putting a lot of time and energy into helping people where i can on Thailand friends. I was enjoying it..i was feeling good if i could help someone feel better about themselves.But in the last few weeks i have been lied to cheated and betrayed by a number of people on TF. Now i am feeling a little disalusionedMaybe i should keep myself to myselfI have even begun to question if i should make the move to thailand as i have been planning for so long:( i dont like feeling like this...i hope it goes away 

just be strong and be yourself...

the online society isn't different from the real world. Some people do like to "full around" "Play around" it always happen. Actually, it always happen to me (on TF) as well. I still believe some good people are out there to be good friends. So just stay the way you are.

if you have good things to offer, why keep it to yourself?, do share. : )

Having bad feedback doesnt mean you have to give up, you know what I mean? You have done the best from your side, if they cannot appreciate that, F* them

coffee please! LOL

It will get better.

Here are a couple of quotes that may apply. Old Chinese quotes (the second there were no computers)

"People with virtue must speak out;

People who speak are not all virtuous."

"Without going outside, you may know the whole world!"

YEah, come on! Cheer up bro... There are good people, there are bad people around... learn from mistakes and try to think possitive!!! I know it can be hard at times... Time heals all wounds!! Yuri

ahhh...poor you. i know how u feel. i got some like that too.

yeah..Hate them. make me upset even more.

BUT there'r good ppl w/ good heart. IGNORE those Jerksss.

And very welcome to Thailand.

There are many on TF's that seem to be strange people on the net, however really meeting face to face in person, could be a totally different experience...they may even act natural? Keep the faith my friend! lol......

I'm with u Andy. We are on the same wave length. You try & do the right thing by people.When u do it gives you a great feeling of satisfaction & u can feel the pride in yourself for having done so.

Unfortunately, their are people who will take advantage of you & your good nature.

Lying I can handle, Betrayal I Cannotever accept that!

Keep helping where & when you can, don't worry about the users!

Why compromise your standards? What for "A"/holes like them?

Also why penalise the Genuine one's that do appreciate ,what you are doing.

Andy, you are Mature enough, to realize that it is just part of life.Their will be disappointments.( Reality)

The only thing left that I want to say to you is " The only person that u can fully trust is yourself" Apply that to every situation you come across. Andy keep the flow & carry out what you think is best for you. You'll get there!

We Aussie have a few sayings " She'll be Apples".... She'll be right Jack..." Right as Rain"Every thing will workout "A"okay.

This is the one we use for the "A" Holes!... " Hit the Road Jack". from the Ray Charles song...And don't you come back no more, no more.,no more,HIT THE ROAD JACK! P O Q = "Piss off quick", if you want to be more assertive. Take care Andy. Just go with the flow & trust your instincts & own judgement. Seeya

.

Thank you all

its just been a bad day, i have managed to get 1 hour 30 min sleep and now i have to go to work, but all your words are in my mind now healing.

im sure a few days reflextion and i will bounce back with new energy

Thanks for the support really! it means a lot to me

Seem you are very disappointed!!! I think not only TF where have cheating people..they are all around..

But not only cheating people are around, still have nice and sincere people too, including TF..

If you met cheating people, its all right..take it as your experiences and learn how to deal with them..and keep looking forward nice people, many in here too. Hope you feel good soon.

Take everything with a grain of salt. When you have a pound you will better understand. Don't let the negative jade your feelings.

Falangs are viewed as targets by quite a few people.

Everyone has said wise things here.

Periboea: your version was the best in my opinion.

and afook did say something that is true : "There are many on TF's that seem to be strange people on the net, however really meeting face to face in person, could be a totally different experience"

i have misjudged a few people because they said something that seemed very mean to my understanding, but i just didn't know it was a sarcastic style of humor, or they were just having a bad day.

when you meet them in person, it is a whole new story.

meeting a real peron tells a lot more about "who they are inside" than just a couple photos, and a few lines of written text.

don't give up!!!!!!

Well I will probably get roasted for this but whatdaheck.....don't u think that at 44 u should be in control of ur own life and not posting rather sad and helpless pleas on TF?

Jealousy is all around .... so be strong and ignore them,..

I will write a message to everyone in person for giving me strength

anenglishman------>>>> No roasting my friend we all feel down at some time in our lives, what makes life worth living is that sometimes we can gain strength from those around us when we have little

But i can see you never feel down or need help, wish we all could be as strong as you

you ran into some bad people on tf ?

this is impossible cannot happen

ha

If u can help ppl to feel better,,,then now i want u to help urself to not upset..or worry..or anything that bring u down ...
