What happened?


Enviornmental issues as usual. People overstepping their boundaries and the utter farcicle that is the law enforcement that doesn't do a bloody thing about it. No air to breathe - because the bloody idiots burn their garbage. Ever hear of anything like that? I also happen to live near sheep. Yeah - SHEEP. Not sheeple - but the real thing - 4 legged lamb chops to be - that are kept penned in and the urine and sh*t keeps on piling up just 10 meters from my house - so let's use our imagination at the cocktail that I breathe in day in day out. So - it's hilarious because it's so insane and there's little to do but to write a book about it. It's just too surreal for even me to believe - and trust me - i've seen a LOT.

Hey, I do that all the time. Apologies depends on what sort of person I'm dealing with.

I have dealt with a certain sort a few times that still annoys me. It's so hard to ignore them. The kind that think they are always right, and get in a person's face, and then deny that they are trying to be rude to them. Annoys the heck in me.

That's a good way of putting it. There are scary people out there. Among other things, that's why I've decided to make some adjustments in life.

Quote:
People are frustrating, but in my experience there's very little to be gained by shouting or name-calling back at them. It doesn't teach them anything, doesn't help their behavior, doesn't make them sorry - they're obviously damaged people if they're adults and still acting like that. Blowing up back at them might make me feel better for about a minute, but I'm not proud of myself - I feel like I failed because I couldn't figure out another way to handle it. I guess I'm more Picard than Kirk, in this regard. ;)


Lately I've been name-calling people who have been name-calling me (it's not the most mature thing to do, I know), always felt bad about it afterward because deep down I still do think people aren't as bad as they look, and I'd like to believe that they aren't as untrustworthy either, though I'm not so sure. You can only apologise only so much, because if they're really intent on bullying you they will continue to do so and you're only making a fool out of yourself. I guess I failed because I gave up, but it's for the best. The best thing to do is ignore. They'll hopefully leave you alone (they're harassing me less and less online).

I'm with you. It takes so much work to try to play the fitting in game, sometimes I need a break. If I lose some friends or piss some people off....well what can you do?

With some people who are really annoying, I just tell them what I think and don't care whether it is nice. If it's someone I'd consider being friends with, I'll be nice even if I don't like what they say.

Sometimes it's hard for me to tell other peoples intentions.

When I was at the airport the other day this guy walked past me and my Dad, he was like "guys you're not helping, standing in the middle of the floor" and I just said "be quiet you twat".


I would have felt like responding like you did before but now that I'm beginning to understand people a little better, I think the guy was basically telling you "please move out the way" and not trying to be mean or anything. I've been mean to people before and later realized they didn't intend to be mean to me.

This is how I feel most times, and how I get over feeling like that, it's good song

People = BS(s**t) Slipknot

Here we go again, Motherf***er

Come on down, and see the idiot right here
Too f****d to beg and not afraid to care
What's the matter with calamity anyway?
Right? Get the f**k outta my face
Understand that i can't feel anything
It isn't like i wanna sift through the decay
I feel like a wound, like a got a f****n'
Gun against my head, you live when I'm dead

One more time, Motherf***er

Everybody hates me now, so f**k it
Blood's on my face and my hands, and i
Don't know why im not afraid to cry
But thats none of your business
Whose life is it? Get it? See it? Feel it? Eat it?
Spin it around so i can spit in its face
I wanna leave without a trace
Cuz i dont wanna die in this place

People = s**t
People = s**t (Whatcha gunna do?)
People = s**t (Cuz i am not afraid of you)
People = s**t (Im everything you'll never be)
People = s**t

It never stops - you cant be everything to everyone
Contagion - Im sittin' at the side of satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure i was meant to be
Overdo it - dont tell me you blew it
Stop your bitchin' and fight your way through it
IM - NOT - LIKE - YOU - I - JUST - f**k - UP

C'mon Motherf***er everybody has to die

People = s**t
People = s**t (Whatcha gunna do)
People = s**t (Cause im not afraid of you)
People = s**t (Im everything you'll never be)
People = s**t

I'm an ass to people now who act like it. I am sick and tired of all their ignorance and bullying and insults. I'm at a point now where I am not nice to to people anymore when they say someone doesn't have AS. God I hate those "You don't have AS" people just because someone is too normal or isn't aspie enough or they have something wonderful they don't have. :evil:

I'm not there yet but I've definitely moved closer. People just p*ss me off nowadays and I'm sick of walking on eggshells around idiots who obviously don't care about how I feel.

Things like flicking off a car that beeped at me when crossing street or responding to a friend that hurt me instead of just accepting it and believing it. It never was like me, but I get tired of being the Goomba.

I just need to get more offensive/assertive now.

I've had problems with authority my whole life, particularly undesevered authority.

I used to really go off the deep end when I was younger. People have sworn that my eyes have literally glowed with rage. :evil:



Authority has been the bane of my existance since day one. I defy them - every single one of them. My respect goes to those that deserve it - regardless of their *position* and *class*.

Your eyes glowing - that's cool.

Yeah but they fight back - argh. Ever think about taking up martial arts? I just practiced today - with karate - now there's some ass-kicking. Very satisfying stuff.

I hear you. There are certain times I will put my fists down and say - F NO. I'm gonna tell YOU how this is going down! And take it from there. Then there are times like on the road? I'm not going to take chances that the dude in the other car has an Uzi - so I'll just bite my tongue and be courteous - as much as I'd like not to. It's just common sense. Then there are other times that I go completely neutral - which of course baffles the sh*t out of the other side. They're like W00T? LOL. All in the Art of War. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art_of_War Best to be unpredictiable, this way they can never pin ya down.

I'm pretty close, but I never will. That will make me as bad as them.
