Beauty Tips For Body Care
Something I’ve been noticing recently is how incredibly condescending and rude many of the users in this sub can be when responding to others’ posts or inquiries. I’ve experienced this firsthand and have observed it on other users posts, and it’s equally astounding.When someone is truly just asking for help or looking for support, especially if they’re relatively new to skincare/this sub, it is so incredibly disheartening and also plain unhelpful when people respond in the ways I’ve been noticing. I’ve always seen SkincareAddiction as a place for people to go to when they’re in need and looking for calm advice/encouragement. I’ve never before felt so uncomfortable with responses on Reddit as I have in this sub lately.I think it’s awesome there are people who have spent a lot of time and energy educating themselves about skin and feel that they have a place to share that knowledge with others. But think about how you’re communicating that. And think about the fact that these aren’t bots posting in this sub, these are real people behind a screen with feelings. And those feelings can get especially fragile when their skin concerns weigh heavily on them. Maybe you’d argue it’s “tough love” but unless you’re a close family member or friend I don’t want it.At the end of the day, unless you’re a medically trained/certified dermatologist, you have no right to speak to another person in a condescending manner. And furthermore, I can’t imagine someone would feel comfortable continuing to seek help from a rude doctor of any kind.TL;DR-People’s responses in this subreddit are often condescending, overly opinionated, and unhelpful. It’s making the environment unwelcoming and uncomfortable.I’d love if we could speak each other as fellow human beings :)
