Man is it just me...but do alot of ppl seem very moody and bitchy in the forums lately...especially yesterday and today. Maybe it is the holidays. Is it the holidays? Anyone else notice.

I am just wondering what is going through ppl's minds...I guess bc I am trying to stay positive and in a good mood for personal reasons.

Maybe if it helps cheer anyone up...Darko and I have a project going on in Plum with snow globes...if you like you are welcomed to come and participate.

BTW....HAPPY HOLIDAYS *hugz & kisses*

No Paris, its not you it IS the holidays. In fact this time of year is actually the biggest time for suicides beleave it or not. The holidays make a lot of people do a lot of crazy things. This has been going on for a LONG, long time since Christmas was created as a tradition, and the preasure has been slowly increasing ever since. It's not for nothing that these times are known as the "crazy days of Christmas" ya know. The fourms are only a reflection of what is happening in the real world, and beleave me Paris, it is a LOT crazier in the real world, then it is here on the forums and in SL too (as I am sure you know

.

But I love projects such as darko and you are working on. It gives some hope, that despite all the crazyness and hair pulling, there are a few bright momments (and people) that shine threw the fog of dispair a lot of folks feel at this time of year. You two keep up the good work hun, make those snow globes sparkle, and you will make it better for all of us to make it threw another day..........

Actually, I think its a combination of the holidays getting to our frustration levels up, plus the fact of world events that are unfolding that are directly affecting a lot of us. It all adds up ya know.

But yes, the holidays adds to the frustration levels.

I think it's a collection of:
The holiday season
Winter time (burr my joints ache!)
Less Vitamin E from the sun
Bush 4 more years
Bad economy
Horrible behavior highlighted in the media ( NBA brawl.. Peterson.. + all the other OT news stories)
War

I agree - this entire season has felt like multiple levels of stress. The fact that the economy is bad at a time when Christmas commercialism is at it's peak can't be helping. I have a snow globe for your project btw. It's one I made for my Mom.

I can't blame the Holiday Season alone, but it definitely influences and affects people's moods. I know I'm affected.
