I give zero fvcks about all that horse chit nonsense and you shouldn't either. They are doing what they feel like is right for them and you should too. Freedom of choice and will come at a price. Grow a pair and quit getting shook over every little thing. All your posts read like the same ol "Oh my God, the sky is falling!!!", then you turn around and try to gaslight every other poster that shares a little common sense with you by telling them they're being the negative one.
Spot on.
Let's look at the title of his thread "the sickness of the women in today's world" Doesn't exactly come across as the most positive or joyous thread really does it? Then he receives some responses that don't exactly agree with him and
his response is to say such things as:
1)
you want your "opinion" to offend (notice how he puts opinion in inverted commas. One can translate that as a little attempted passive aggressive dig. An attempted put down of the disagreement he received. A sign of
disdain.
Contempt. Now we have some congruency with the thread)
Really? Translation:
he is offended by my opinion and any other opinion that maybe different than his. Personally, I like to dig a little deeper than the surface question and so often it's never really about the surface question. Sometimes we dig a little deeper and there's gold to be found, gold used for growth. Anyway, I just couldn't imagine having a beer in a beer garden with such an apathetic and sensitive young boy. Imagine, he's giving you his theory on women and you give him your response and he says back to you "dude, I think you should be more positive when you're responding to me so that I can understand me better. And I know you're trying to offend me". Son, spend some time mixing with other males. Being a loner and an introvert is turning you anti social and over sensitive.
2)
you could make your posts more positive so that they can be better understood (note: this was written in poorly constructed English. I took the liberty of correcting the awful grammar instead of confusing the matter)
So this where he reveals his disingenuous nature. Granted it may not be by design but rather a stunt in his growth and a bruised and hurt ego. Again he creates a thread entitled "the sickness of women" and he thinks others could be more positive with their responses. The lack of congruency is palpable.
Granted it's interesting to note that he wants me posts to be more positive
so that he can understand them better. Ok maybe there is some honesty being revealed. Non native English speaker.
3)
please remove any literary devices from your posts (the two examples that he seemed to have difficulty with and made a special requests that I remove them were irony and sarcasm) This is a poster who takes everything at face value. Everything has to be literal. Some other poster had to reply to him in a thread the other day "brother, that was a joke" as he took the clear tongue in cheek joke as literal. He completely missed the point of my second reply to him, took it literal, got offended by it, got defensive and tried to attack back. (hint: it contained a literary device)
Again, trying to understand the poster and help him, we can realize and understand:
1) the guy is a non-native speaker (writer) of English. Many of them come here and to other sites and blogs with the main intention of improving their English.
2) the guy's level is around B2. it can sometimes appear above that in writing but it's clear he has no verbal contact with native speakers or exposure to English speaking cultures.
3) He's learned the English in what Kachru refers to as the "expanding circle" in his "three circles of English". This is the the third outer layer after the inner and outer circle in "world Englishes"
This is not a problem, but maybe if he learned to acknowledge where he's at and take some responsibility and be open to growth, he wouldn't get so offended and may even grow a little emotionally.
He posted a thread last weak where he failed to set up a date properly,
perceived the girl as playing games with him (hint: I pointed out he was seeing games where there was none and now he's seen offense where there was none) and tried to come across as nonchalant. If ever i saw a buffer to rejection AND complete apathy from anyone.............I wonder is he a stoner.
Anyway, it's clear this thread was about his own personal trauma being provoked. He's still suffering. He would like a nice, sweet girlfriend to settle down into a warm, snug comfortable life.
It's also clear that he hasn't recovered from the trauma of his childhood issues he had with his father. You'll never achieve strong, mature masculine growth unless you heal the father trauma.
You see these trauma's (the unhealed feelings from an ex, the childhood issues with dad or dysfunctional family) are like sunburn that's half healed. You forget about them until someone or something........tap tap taps upon it. Then she stings.
