    I've heard not caring about what people think of you becomes easier as you get older. How?

    Enlighten me because I want a shortcut. I wish it was as simple as "just do it" because I have this complex that comes from my upbringing. Basically I see not caring about what people think about you as an incredibly stupid idea. I want to stop caring about what people think of me, but I also...

    Would being direct as hell work or would that be too intimidating?

    Depends. Do you have a 6 pack and a tragic backstory?

    Nobody understands the economy and everyone should shut up about it.

    How's developing a beer gut and throwing constant ego tantrums gonna fix the situation?

    Nobody understands the economy and everyone should shut up about it.

    I'm sick and tired of seeing all sides of American politics telling each other that they "don't understand the economy." Whenever one person or group says something about the economy.. there's always another person or group there to directly contradict said thing with an equally vague new...

    GYM - Women perceive the body THE SAME WAY WE DO + It's 100% LEGIT

    And here I thought this forum was purely about fitness. Yet you meatheads still found a way to shoe-horn women into it. Good job.

    No.. vaping can NOT "deliver toxic metals like nickel and lead into your lungs." (No, that's not metal *long pause* in your lungs)

    This I'd believe over any scientific article some **** tries to shove in my face.

    No.. vaping can NOT "deliver toxic metals like nickel and lead into your lungs." (No, that's not metal *long pause* in your lungs)

    What, just because a black kid says it, that automatically makes it true? Give me a break Just to be clear, I don't vape, but propaganda disgusts me. In the 30s they told people that weed causes insanity and was made by Satan or.. something. Growing up we were told that people were gonna...

    Look at them when they want exclusively and say "no." Easy peasy.

    I don't understand "heated discussions." Either we're fighting or we're not.

    Your argument is irrelevant simply because I don't show how I see people. My mask is very good. Yeah? And what happens when I DON'T get their "approval," as you call it? They go and tattle like little snakes and I'm in even deeper ****. I refuse to believe that employers and authority...

    I don't understand "heated discussions." Either we're fighting or we're not.

    Pfft. I'm only 1 inch below the national average. But seriously. It especially becomes a problem when you see really successful people talking about how they don't listen to people they don't see as credible. Leaves me wondering why the same mentality doesn't work for me. When they do it...

    I'm having trouble understanding how the idea of "not explaining yourself to anybody" works in reality.

    "Do this or we're gonna have problems" was the big one. By job was a packer and truck unloader. The entire team was around including the leads and supervisors.

    I'm having trouble understanding how the idea of "not explaining yourself to anybody" works in reality.

    Telling you what to do in a threatening way.. or literally threatening. Usually these people can get away with it because they're hard workers I've noticed. Flimsy considering I worked hard in the past but God forbid I lose my temper with a coworker.

    I'm having trouble understanding how the idea of "not explaining yourself to anybody" works in reality.

    You're losing me with how the opinions of onlookers factor into it. My goal in discussions is to shut the other person up, not make myself look better to a bunch of ****s. If in the process of standing up for myself I lose some of your precious "status," all it means is that they'll expect...

    I don't understand "heated discussions." Either we're fighting or we're not.

    Most people are ****ing insects who don't even think about the possibility of the person they're mistreating fighting back. What do you mean "weapons?"

    Get told to not be a *****.. but whenever I stop being a *****, I get shot back down. What do you people expect?

    Since I know I'm gonna get this "no true Scotsman" bs, I'm telling you right now that I have no intention of listening to it. "Oh but you need to have real confidence. What you have isn't real confidence." Get the **** out of here with that. I'm sick of it already, and that's just from other...
