"omgosh be careful who you meet online, u don't wanna get hurt" "u need to be careful who u talk to and what u do"

Is it just me or is there a pattern with people feeling sorry for us and thinking we're fragile little creatures who need to be extra vigilant and careful about what we do and who we associate with. Like I'm very sensitive yes but I'll scoop your eyes out with a melon baller if you come for me. 

And people thinking we're easily manipulated and lied to and that we could "fall prey" to other people.. I mean I can manipulate someone to filth if I wanted to, I just choose not to (:
