GETCJU SOME BIDNISS! 2016-07-12T14:53:15Z Comment by mista Blu @dustin: "I heard that, Bitch!" LMAO 2016-07-12T14:40:26Z Comment by mista Blu @sherry-rouse-1: they think shit of it and say it anyway!!! 2016-07-12T14:10:01Z Comment by jesspridge I'm the same way Assante, and it sounds like you too might be an empath. we feel intensely and take on the feelings and energies of the stimuli we experience, be it people's words, attitudes, or even tweets. knowing that about myself, I made it a point to clean up my social media spaces, even going as far as deleting facebook altogether because it's a comstant stream of emotions and it's difficult to filter through (I also have diagnosed ADHD and that inability to filter things is a big part of that). I totally feel you on this! 2016-06-12T16:26:26Z Comment by Benjamin P. It's interesting to realize how this group and The Read rub off on each other. There are goods vibes blending. Each one is growing. 2016-06-09T21:45:31Z Comment by Benjamin P. bRUH Just tore up both my ears lol 2016-06-09T21:41:25Z Comment by TC Thompson @latrice09: YES!!! Say it again!! 2016-05-02T23:44:53Z Comment by Latrice09 the cis gender term... really?? so now i have to say im cis gender, becuase I am who I am?! NAW im a woman - this has one definition. Im tired of these new generation terms. Another way people are overly sensitive! People complain about being labeled but now theres over 30 labels to put you back in the box you tried to come out of. Im sorry I feel Dustin. Everybody over sensitive and I'm not here the sensitive bullshit lol 2016-05-02T13:49:55Z Comment by Montiniquรซ McEachern yes fran with happy shaming! i am a phd student and everyone expects me to walk around like ny world is all gloom. they tell me my work is less valuable because i enjoy it! 2016-04-27T16:58:28Z Comment by ghaniangirl It's all about the delivery. These same people try to educate others from a place of superiority and shame. But if their children had a teacher that taught with those same intentions, they would be furious. We are all students and life and social media has created a false sense of intelligence. 2016-04-23T22:56:22Z Comment by ghaniangirl The problem with social media is that there are too many teachers and not enough students. Some people police others to feed an insecurity within themselves. You can't teach people by scolding them!! 2016-04-23T22:47:44Z Comment by Taurean Lynell Ford Smell does affect the way you taste things though. Think about anytime your nose has been stuffed and you ate just about anything 2016-04-23T05:39:27Z Comment by Taurean Lynell Ford A lot of this stuff comes from self-education and is based on experience though 2016-04-23T05:34:49Z Comment by Taurean Lynell Ford "And I don't want to see you" ๐๐๐๐ 2016-04-23T05:33:12Z Comment by Taurean Lynell Ford That's extra lmao 2016-04-23T05:18:43Z Comment by Taurean Lynell Ford @taurean-lynell-ford: Marginalized groups face violence cause of their identities all the time, so if you say something that offends someone then they are going to respond how ever they are feeling in that moment. It's not even anger all the time, a lot of the time it's passion. Tone policing someone and writing off their sentiments as just anger is a way that marginalized groups have been silenced for years. So I think it best to at least try and receive what a person is saying to you regardless of their tone, because a lot of the time it shouldn't even be taken personally. Just living as apart of any marginalized group on this earth makes people angry, so that emotion being directed towards you isn't always caused by you. And inferring someone's tone through text can be a bitch anyways lol. Sorry for the rant. Love the show 2016-04-23T04:46:19Z Comment by Taurean Lynell Ford See, I think the sensitivity goes both ways. Some people take being educated on something they said too personally. Also I think that it should clear when someone is trying to educate a person versus them just cussing that person, but often time I see people react the same way to both which is to me unfair to both parties. Because not only does the person not learn anything, but they're also making light of someone's real plight. I'm all for everyone being entitled to their own opinion, but that also means that everyone is entitled to their own reaction. Just like everyone should be allowed to voice their opinion everyone should be allowed to react. It's not fair to censor either side. With that being said, tone policing is also something that people should watch for. 2016-04-23T04:33:29Z Comment by Murdermagictricks but if you get of smell how I gonna of you musty....and you need to smell food so you know it's not spoiled or rotten 2016-04-21T18:09:12Z Comment by toppinm my favorite part .. On a Petty note! 2016-04-20T20:08:45Z Comment by Olivia De Souza Hey yall, I discovered The Friend Zone like a week ago (week ago) and I really enjoy listening to it and I'm trying to catch up and listen to all episodes. You guys are so funny and adorable. I just wanted to leave a nice comment, since you said that you read them all, although I don't usually comment on anything on the internet. Take care guys and stay real as always, love from France ! 2016-04-19T18:17:23Z Comment by Sherry Rouse 1 Smell goes hand in hand with taste so...if you can't smell something...you can't taste it either. I need ALLLLL these senses, LOL 2016-04-19T17:15:46Z Comment by Sherry Rouse 1 "yo mama got a long-sleeve bra"...DEAD 2016-04-19T16:02:40Z Comment by Sherry Rouse 1 funny the teacher and everyone would be in an uproar about what Fran said but...these same people feel nothing about saying "nigga" or using the term "ghetto" to correlate to black & brown people. smh 2016-04-19T15:54:07Z Comment by Sherry Rouse 1 who the hell would be mad because you say how YOU feel about how YOU look in an article of clothing? I need these fools to get hobbies. smfh 2016-04-19T15:51:44Z
