Raggeee! THE MG GROUP!
by lvoe, kat
I'm tired of the MG group. It's not the same as it was 10 months ago when I first joined. It's changed... and it sucks because these girls are supposedly going to be "supporting" me for the next 13 months.... I actually just felt like I got attacked when I posted a simple question on the MG wall. If I have had posted that a few months ago, it would've been a completely fine question with funny answers! I WOULD KNOW BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS ASKED IT BEFORE. And we just joked about it together but now when I asked it, people are just attacking me:(
I just wanna say: to the new girls who has joined in the group within the last 2-3 months... the MG group wasn't always like this. It started changing like 3 months ago (more or less!?). Can we just PLEASE be a support system again? I always though this group would help me with my waiting for 2 years but it's only been 10 months.. I need the group to help me keep waiting! I want girls who has actually SUPPORTED me to celebrate with me when Daniel comes home
The MG group has been a big part of my waiting life. IT HELPED ME SOOOO FREAKIN MUCH. And most of my close friends are now MGs from all around the world!! I want the future MGs to experience what I experienced when I first joined. I don't want them to be attacked and be afraid to post comments and such. Now I'M afraid to post things!
I use to refer girls I met to the MG group when i meet them on TUMBLR but now I'm scared to.. I think they're better off without it!:(
So I don't know.. just start being friendly and happy and POSITIVE in the group again, yeah? Thanks. And also start posting positive things... I rarely see that now!:(
I LOVE YOU MGS!
I highly agree!!!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way. I asked something for certain girls and so many others felt the need to put their opinions and beliefs on it. It felt like an attack. I don't want to be part of something if this is how it will be.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you Kat! So many girls are just too serious about everything and give their personal opinion when they don't need to. Hardly any of the girls understand our personal relationships with our boys, so they don't really need to tell us how we should act with them. Those kind of thoughts can be kept to themselves.
ReplyDeleteHey Kat!! I feel the same way, I have for a long time though, it's never really been for me for lots of reasons, one of them probably being I have such different circumstances. but I've just been on there because I was told about it and it is fun to read sucess stories, they always help you feel uplifted BUT, I did meet some super sweet girls! You're one of the best ones! I love ya Kat, I will always support you! Message me whenever you like! :) AND can't wait to meet you!!! xx
ReplyDeletechin up and surround yourself with positive people :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to tell you the same thing I told Leah. I've been a member for 4 years, and I'm treated like dog crap there. I didn't wait for or marry "my" missionary. I married someone 100000000X better. So, therefore, no one cares about my story, or my life. There are girls that are rude and insensitive. However, there are girls that are nothing but support. They got me through 14 months. Just surround yourself with the positive girls, and stay away from those that can't seem to realize that they aren't always right. :) I'm always here without being critical. I promise. :)
ReplyDeleteI feel like we have all gotten attacked by an MG at one point in our lives.... and it sucks:( The group was sooo supportive to me in the beginning though.. something happened.. Blahh!
ReplyDeleteBut we just gotta ignore it and stay happy, right!?!? RIGHHHT:)
Ahhh Kat, I got so sick of it that I left the group. You can make it without the group, if the negativity becomes too much of a downer. That's what I'm doing, and I have to admit I'm much happier.
ReplyDeleteKat, I just want you to know that I respect you, as an MG, but more so as a person and a human being. I actually left the group about 2 weeks ago for similar reasons to those you are describing. However, it was time for me to take a break anyways. There is much more good in the group than bad. Right now, I am happy without being a member of the group and am in a much better state of mind. Plus, these past two week have even gone by much faster. I have had much more free time and have been doing more fulfilling things, like reading a good book or spending more time with the scriptures. I may or may not return to the group in the future. I hope things aren't as bad for you now! We've both come so far :)
ReplyDeleteHey girl! I don't know you, but I found your blog via another girl's blog reading list, who is also following my blog. Can I just say that missionaries do come home? Girls will be girls and drama comes along with the territory. But it'll be all worth it in another year or so-- and that year goes by FAST.
ReplyDelete"My" {using the term loosely, ha!} missionary came home in the beginning of May and my best friend's missionary comes home on Friday. I have been so happy this past month and a half being able to talk to him like a real person. Because I gotta be honest, I kind of felt like I had been writing to a fake person for the past 16 months we had been writing previously!
Anyway, sorry for the monstrous comment, but I just wanted to let you know that it really is all worth it in the end. And if your MG group ends up breaking apart or isn't supportive anymore, you can do it by yourself. Trust me on this one! ;) Good luck, pretty lady!
Hey Kat (: I'm a new follower of yours, another (soon-to-be MG) I also found you off another girls blog, i don't know of this group you are talking about, and it's probably better that i don't even check it out..but i just want you to know that you all (the other mg's on here) just through your blogs are inspiring. for ladies like me that will be having their guy leave soon and will be experiencing the wait. Love your guys blogs and love your optimism through it all! (:
