I Am Tired Of People Judging Me Because I Am An A-hole

Please stop with the everybody hug and feel good posts. Sadly, there is no one poem, nothing on Pinterest or FB that applies to everyone or will cancel out responsibility for your own actions in any situation.

Also noteable..there are generally multiple people affected by any struggle or decision in life. This means when you hug and kiss someone through their own bad behavior, you may be affecting the lives of others. Why encourage someone to be destructive, because "you understand"? How in the hell do you know what's really going on?

We have no real life context because this is the Internet. It's a little pretentious to act like we do.

Even if you really, really love the universe and fully understand all of us from what you see here online....Go out in the real world and fix things if you are so ordained. I dare you.

So popular to act like that here. It's kinda pathetic.

Moral relativism based on illogic is the new hip thing for the drones on phones. Becoming comfortable in a life of existence where the main mantra is all about feeling good regardless of actions or truth has become the new cool for the drone generation. Virtue means nothing to people who bathe in mud every day.

Critical thinking is becoming obsolete to people who choose to live in a virtual illusion where every vice on earth becomes acceptable.

@therighttothink50 Excellent quote.
The directive to smile and be happy is so people pleasing it disturbs me. I do think you should look for the best in people and situations, be grateful for all you can, I am generally a happy person. Not if it doesn't apply to what's happening though.

I don't appreciate being told to smile and act like the day is great because that's what's nicest for others to see. I think that's where substance abuse, eating disorders depression, self image issues etc. find their foothold. "We are all fine, see us all smiling at each other? What the fuck is wrong with YOU?"

This is literally why some people hide and suffer alone.

It's false witness. We lift these people up here, too.

I think my face is still mine. I will smile when it strikes me to. Not because Bunniesflowersong or daggerinpants or whoever decrees it.
🤔

@Splendida Watch the original movie from 1956: The Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers with Kevin McCarthy and Dana Wynter. It explains society today.

@Splendida: I get what you are saying. Telling me to smile and be happy = Instant irritated buzz kill. We can't force feelings plus it invalidates our honest feelings. Happiness isn't applied like a band-aide.

So many are pumped on the drug of flattery and compliments and wearing smiles like masks. No wonder there are so many insecure miserable people. Those things won't hold, they are surface and have no substance.

@Magenta The sad thing about today is people are being are being told to be happy about things which destroy the heart, mind and soul. They are being told the truth no longer matters, just join our cult and everything will be alright...

@Magenta Very well put. It is almost a cult ugh.

I miss the free thinkers.

@therighttothink50 Indeed. Trying to be happy based on shallow surface things will make people more unhappy. They end up needing a constant fix. It's the[i] core[/i] that [i]needs[/i] contentment.

@Splendida Yes, the free thinkers, independents, originals with some depth. I'm always drawn to them. Seems few anymore. :-)

@Magenta I'm not going to be told to be unhappy or pissed off either! These are my responses to things. You don't need to be clinically depressed to be sad.

I don't get the mentality you know more than anyone else about how to feel. Who elects these SW people to office?

I value people's opinions and confessions here, their responses to questions, stories, people's music...all of that is why I'm here. I like to know what people are really thinking. I can learn.

I am dog tired of the unsolicited advice and sermons. Please. Go dust your pews or something.
