the bitch

Okay, so I work in a profession with a plethora of strong personalities. Despite what I thought I knew about people, I'm continuously learning everyday in how to socialize with these people (because I have to) and how to conform in certain situations. I'm generally an optimistic person but I am human nonetheless. Now i know many of you can relate when it comes to that 'specific' individual who for some reason has this "I am the best and bow down to me" complex. If you don't know one, then you might be one. In my reasoning I'd like to categorize them partially as bullies. This complex is a 'front' to hide poor self confidence and feelings of inferiority. Oh these poor fragile individuals.

     Let's face it, trying to be civil absolutely sucks when attempting to reason with 'complex' type people. Trying to be 'professional' about things, when in reality you just want to knock their teeth out. Reasoning or confronting is useless because it's probably a long developed trait that is not easily altered. People don't change, you change. The last thing is to be angry and end a conversation or situation poorly because ultimately you'll either end up feeling foolish or more frustrated. Just move on people, be angry, dislike them, but move on. It's so cliche but its not worth the effort, time, brain space, or energy to focus on ridiculous people. If confrontation is what makes you feel better then go for it! to each their own. Anyway this is my daily rant....I hate stupid stuck up people.

I Don't Like You Man

Alright people, truth of the matter is that not everyone gets along with everyone. Personalities clash, rolled eyes, and opposing viewpoints like head on train collisions.

Let's for a minute differentiate the word 'hate' and 'dislike'. There is a difference. If you hate someone you dislike them in addition to a bundle full of knife stabs and stomped on voodoo dolls, feelings of hostility. Hence, you've heard your mom say 'don't say hate dear its a very very strong word' *shakes forefinger* To 'dislike', you don't like them but you don't want to hurt them, you agree to disagree. Point blank.

Lord knows there are a few people who want to push me off a cliff and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to drag them with me if it happened. However, I've learned to get rid of feelings of animosity and it may be due to personal selfishness but in a one months time just think would it really matter to me? If you hate someone you are dwelling on issues and wasting precious brain space just focusing on every fiber of their being.

WHY BOTHER PEOPLE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET'S ALL JUST BE CIVIL.

You can do it! The least thing is that you can say you've tried. It takes a lot of energy, a lot of courage but JUST be civil. You can dislike someone but it doesn't mean you can't manage a 'hello' or 'hey how's it goin'. Doesn't mean you can't work with them, doesn't mean you can't help them out when times are hard. Who knows maybe being civil starts a spark and cycle of new born kindness and maybe *gasp* dare I say friendship.................or not.

Anyhoo try your best because in the long run at least you said you've tried.

peace, love, and no regrets!
bellicismo!
