I will preface this post by saying that if you are reading this it is probably not about you…Exactly…and if it is…kinda…about you..sorta…just chalk it up to my limit being reached due to recent widespread events and go on your merry way.
WARNING: RANT BEGINNING
PLEASE for the love of giant robots STOP being so flipping sensitive! And touchy! Really! I am so tired of walking around other people’s delicate feelings that I am inclined to become an almost literal hermit. I am starting to dread going out or going online because I inevitably run into someone who is in the process of having a pouty fit.
STOP IT!
Very few people are out to get you. Most people don’t hate you. People say stupid, clumsy things and make rash decisions. It happens. People are self-centered. They ARE! But this is not in a calculated attempt to hurt your BLOODY FEELINGS!
Why not try (and I know that this is hard) to give people the benefit of the flipping doubt? Hmmm? For the sake of my sanity and if you EVER want to see me again, when someone does something you don’t like, why not start by guessing that they may have made a mistake? Or were tired, or cranky, or under alien mind control? ANYTHING than immediately slamming into “full on offended mode”.
For you see; when you are upset, I feel upset. When you are defensive, I feel like I have to apologize. I value harmony and you people are starting to disturb my implacable calm, dash it all. Be how you want to be, be snarky or touchy or brutally honest, whatever. But please, please, please can’t you also be polite? Keep your disagreements small. Talk to the person who upset you. Apologize when you are wrong and for cripes sake find a better way to handle your stress than by taking it out on the people who would call you friend.
Now, my headache and I are going to go kill imaginary things for a while. I’ll be back when we both feel better.
Thank you,
Coraxonyx
