Most sites on the internet [as far as I'm concerned] do NOT care about people. As unbelievable as it may be to SOME of you - I really DO care. I care about what YOU think. I care about what YOU feel. I also care about what YOU are struggling with. [And we ALL struggle with something]
COMPASSION
AS alone as SOME of you MAY feel - try to remember that each and everyone of us are just trying to get through life as best we can. Don't be fooled by the 'surface stuff'. SOME of us are just better at putting on 'masks'. Deep down - we ALL want the same things. To be treated with kindness, compassion and with respect. We ALL want [AND NEED] to know that we 'matter' and have at least SOME value.
I'm writing this message to let you know that YOU REALLY DO MATTER!
IF YOU are NOT being treated as well as you would like to be - it MIGHT have something to do with YOU. Very often - people wait to see how THEY are going to be treated BEFORE they decide HOW they are going to treat someone. Unfortunately - it doesn't work that way. Waiting to see HOW someone treats YOU is like playing a game of tennis and refusing to 'serve' until you KNOW how  the 'other guy' is going to hit the ball.  One of the most basic 'golden rules' of life is the treat people the way WE want THEM to treat US.  So don't leave it up to the 'other guy'. Be nice - FIRST. You'll be amazed at how quickly people 'warm up' to a 'nice guy'.
Benjamin Franklin once said, "I NEVER judge a man until I see how HE treats ANOTHER man who can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for him."  It's always easy to be nice to someone who we believe can benefit us - in some way. THAT - however - is NOT a sign that YOU respect people. A person who respects other people is JUST as considerate of those who CAN benefit them in some way as they are to people who [THEY BELIEVE] can NOT benefit them.

 Do YOU try to treat everyone with RESPECT??
YES - ALWAYS
YES - most of the time
YES - but ONLY if THEY treat ME with respect - FIRST
NO - not really
NO - why should I?
The 'hell with other people'. I'm not about to waste MY
time worrying about how OTHER people think  and/or
feel. Besides - I think 'nice' DOES equal 'weak'. The only
person in MY life that matters is ME. If someone
doesn't like that - so what.

If being nice to people is something that you've never really considered before - give if a try. If you genuinely respect people AND are considerate of THEIR thoughts and feelings - I promise you [far more often than not] you WILL get that respect BACK.
THINK 'NICE' EQUALS 'WEAK'?
THINK AGAIN!!
