Dealing With People

Okay.. Unnecessary was the wrong word. Uncalled for is what I should've said.


My post wasn't hurting anyone. The comments made soon after didn't hurt me either. They were just bad jokes. If they wanted to make a point, they should've done it in a more tasteful manner.


But while their jokes weren't really made at my expense, I'm not the only one on here that gets mocked or picked on for a post. What about them? Do you think they like it? From what I've seen, they don't appreciate it too much.


I understand the point you're making about the hypocrisy in the free speech card, but does free speech mean the bully down the road gets to make fun of another kid? Does that mean people have the right to make fun of Amish people because they're different? No. Because it's wrong. My post wasn't harming anyone. I was just expressing my thoughts. So why did I deserve the rude, sarcastic jokes?

 

You are even being overly combative here.. =/

Have some humor with life. No sense being serious throughout your whole trip to the grave.

Often, humor's the best way to make your points. You can really fit a lot of symbolism into one quip.

I did mean what I said about you losing your introspection by shrugging it off right after. And unfortunately it's starting to seem I was rather right, too.

You can't grow if you don't take pride in knowing your weakness. Can't defeat an enemy you don't admit exists.

 

Not everyone has the same sense of humor. Despite everything that's been said, I am easy to get along with. You probably didn't read much of what I said. lol, right. You even said you didn't.


It was still uncalled for in my opinion. And that's it. You're still going to make jokes like that. I'm still going to disagree.


Just because I've been serious in this thread, doesn't mean I'm a humorless robot in life.

 

No worries, there are other people like you.
I for example...

Imo term friend is overused. I have maybe 2-3 friends, others are just people I know.

 

I think it just sounds like you need to relax. You can be nice to your boyfriends friends without getting close to them. I joke around with my boyfriend's friends but I'm not striving to get really close to them or make them my confidants. They're his friends.

I think you're just overthinking the situation.

As for the general trust issue, I never really got that. If someone seems shady right off the bat then don't waste your time. If someone seems like a decent person then take your time getting to know them. You don't have to trust and let someone in right away, but you can relax, be nice, and have some fun getting to know them.

 

if i were more comfortable seeking out people to deal with, i would almost certain spent a far greater percentage of my life gainfully employed. just never could quite get into the idea of having to beg people to put me to work. the irony is that i LOVE doing things.
