Sometimes I feel like The Boy in the People Shooting Hat

Nov 30, 2006 21:38

What the fuck is with this week? It's like every overconfident, snide, spoiled little shit has found some way to piss me off at every turn. I'm sick of everything at this point. It happens a lot and sometimes it's really amusing to notice for people, but Jesus Christ. I've been genuinely and incessantly annoyed for the past five days and I'm tired ( Read more... )

Man. I wish you spoke up for yourself more often. It used to happen to me a lot because I was quite, people will walk all over you if they think you wont protest. It makes me mad that the teacher turned out the light on you ( ... )

That sounds great in theory, but it'll never happen. I've admitted to myself that it's my fault that I let people get to me, but for some reason I keep thinking decency and maturity from my peers is a sensible expectation. It isn't.

you mentioned how theres no respect. would it be impossible to respect people's insecurities? thats what leads to all the little macho-games. that is, if lack of respect is actually a problem, which I dont think it is. if you need respect from assholes to feel better about yourself... then I dont know what.

ps. you spelled conScious wrong in the title of this page

Yeah, I just realized why, too. Microsoft Word autocorrects "concious" with "conscious" and I have never noticed until now. So I've been going through life spelling that word without an "s" thinking it was right... I fixed it.

I don't need respect from assholes to feel better about myself, it's just something you sometimes expect for one reason or another. It isn't the fact that I'm not getting respect from people that annoys me, it's the fact that people think they can get away with being so blatantly disrespectful because they're showing off and playing their little "macho-games" as you called them.

And yes, I think it would be impossible to respect people's insecurities. For me, at least. Just because... I don't. Insecurity is so deeply ingrained into the core of everything that annoys me that trying to respect it would be like trying to respect some guy that raped your mother.

The whole post was pretty much an angry spur of the moment type outburst that I didn't really think through but which pretty much describes the intense hate I have for people who disguise their weaknesses by acting like assholes to other people.
