Ok there are certain behaviors that people will do that just…. really make me mad.
They include:
- Victim mentality. Ok sure. Everyone gets beaten around by life once in a while and it’s only natural to pity party once in awhile. Fine. But when there is blatant continuous victim behavior, ie: claiming that everyone is mean to you, that really annoys me. Especially when you’re mean to everyone else! If you go around messaging people to say purposefully hurtful things, or treat people like they’re things instead of humans, or heckle others just because they think or are different than you- and then you get someone who tells you that what you’re doing is wrong and they won’t stand for it? That doesn’t make THEM mean. It makes them honest and strong to stand up to what YOU are doing to others. Someone calling you on your bullshit doesn’t make them mean. You saying mean stuff to others is mean.
-Which leads me to my next point. What is the point of purposely hurting people you don’t know hardly at all? You’re mad at one person – so you tell a second person that they suck. That second person has no part in what is going on between you and person number 1! So why would you go to person number 2 and completely shred them apart, telling them things like that they’re ugly, stupid, talentless, etc? How does that even make sense? You’re just continuing a chain and unnecessarily hurting someone who doesn’t deserve it!
- When the world revolves around you …. and you try to make everyone else’s world revolve around you too. Hey guess what? Everyone has their own shit to deal with. No one gives a damn about what’s going on in your world except for you and a select fewfamily or friends who might put up with your whining. But trying to force other people into your opinions, your view, and your world…. it makes you selfish and completely rude and mean.
-Forcing others to like you. The hostages don’t like the gunman because he’s cool. They pretend to like him because he has a gun. The same goes with people. If people don’t like you- you. can. not. force. them. to. like. you. It’s called free will! God gave us this amazing gift of Free Will and forcing other people to like you with threats, or mean spirited conversation and just complete obsession doesn’t work. This is something I learned the hard way. I tried to hold on to friends that I really liked because I liked them and I wanted them to like me. It doesn’t work! If you’re awesome- you will have people who adore you. Find those people. Stop forcing people that YOU like to like you. It doesn’t ever work. ever.
-Complaining and whining. Ok. We get it. Your life is hard. Karma is against you. My sister and I both feel this way a lot. If it can go wrong- it will. And for the longest time my sister and I both would exclaim: “Ugh I hate my life!”. And finally I had to realize… life is life. Bad crap happens to people. It just does. Granted- my sister has worse luck than me but… we both have realized that at times? You just have to go with the flow and laugh it off. God’s not going to give us something we can’t handle. And in a day, a week, a month, a year- it won’t matter anymore.
-Two words: Evil Jokes. I’m talking racist, gaycist, political slander, dead baby, blondes, whatever. If it’s a joke that’s meant to cut down on one type of person by one of their characteristics- NO THANK YOU. keep it to yourself.
- Racism. See above. Mainly- keep it to yourself. Everyone is born equal in God’s eyes. I know it sounds cheesy but one person is NOT above or better than another due to color of their skin or specific features.
- General rudeness. The best way to say this is the following: I work in a call center. It will destroy your faith in humanity to work in a tech support capacity. I’m just going to say this as a customer service rep: You WILL get more done when you’re nicer than when you’re angry. I will happily help anyone or even go above and beyond for anyone who is being kind. Now I understand that issues come up with your service – no matter what it’s for- and you get frustrated. That’s ok. But it’s not the customer service rep’s fault. They’re trying to help you and make you happy just as much as you want to be made happy. I PROMISE you. No one is purposely trying to screw you in call centers. Things that NEVER should be done no matter how frustrated you are: Cursing at the agent, calling the agent derogatory names, verbally bashing the company and or the agent. These things should never ever ever ever be done. They’re just people too who have families and friends and who go to bed at night and wake up in the morning just like everyone else.
-Religious nut bags — they really sometimes make christians look bad. I promise we’re not all gay hating, flag burning, world ending crazies. Some of us actually are nice regular people who love everyone equally. I promise
