No Patience for FreakOut Artists or DramaWusses.

[A-Unit]

Probably a rant, but whatever.

Why is it people have the mental fortitude of a 4 year old? If they don't get their way, they freak out? And if you don't respond to them in the way they expect or need, they freak out more? And when they vomit up their ills, they don't want solutions or tough love, they want to be coddled, to have the pain disappear as if the event or injury never happened...

Aside from a few people this apply to right now, a good friend of mine dated this girl, what, like 4 weeks? 6 tops? He basically "won" her from another guy, one I'd met at a jack and jill. And when my buddy met her, she was WITH this guy. So the fact he "won" her wasn't really a victory. She didn't like this other guy much, she's a committment phobe, or maybe, she really liked my friend. But now it's over, and he's near depression with Myspace confessions of "want a noose." How evident is his emptiness? All it took was 1 girl to display that. My philosophy is...if she chooses to be rid of me, she wasn't worth my time. Period. If she leaves, she wasn't for me. I want a girl who finds it HARD to go. Not one who can consciously choose to go. And I wouldn't take one who second guessed her 1st choice, because she'll do it again.

And then there's clients/people who complain over the simplest nickel and dime crap!!! Come on. There's people in the world without food, shoes, legs, mentally retarded, on death beds, and people are whining as if they have NOTHING. If life was a card game, texas hold 'em, most people are holding AT least a POCKET Ace. The ones who succeed KNOW how to bluff through with the hands they have and make the best of it. And the ones can't bluff life, are the ones who get found out and just fall to pieces over the simplest crap!

We have such a SENSITIVE mind, where everything EXTERNALLY rattles our INTERNAL reality. I'm just tired of people coming at me. And my reaction most of the time is to breathe back virtiolic "I don't care" speeches and attempt to harshly enlighten these people to what their real plight is. "You are your own worst enemy." Instead of each person befriending themselves, they hate themselves and seek someone else who can make it better. So sad. Even here...everywhere...

You NEED to hit rock bottom. If something is your safety net, unless you're smart enough to wake up before catastrophy, you'll never change. There's the drug addict who NEEDS someone to reform, but by and large, each person can TRULY only help themselves and wake the fawk up. Perhaps its because I find it incredibly rude of me to impose my oft waivering feelings that I'd never do it to someone else. When I've looked back over time about a girl I lost, for instance, I realized the time alone was spent doing awesome things and I always met a better girl. When a job went south, I realized it was time to move on and I'd do something better. That's just me. Obviously nobody can be me. And I can't impose my will on anyone else. But I don't get it. IS everyone just a big baby who wants everything to be as it was? We must be the most egotistical of all animals/mammals since we have the misguided belief we MUST keep things permanent in a world of ANYTHING BUT.

I'm sure many of you get what I'm talking about. The name DJ should be changed to JEDI, or SITHLORD, or WIZARD, or some all powerful being since they're more awake to the intricacies of the mind than most people. Imagine what life would be like for all people if they talk THINKING and FINANCE throughout school???

I'm right there with you, bro.

People DO need to hit bottom. People need to have some REAL problems before they can evolve.

Unfortunately, in this day and age, parents coddle and shield their kids as they grow up (apparently "grown up" isn't official until around 30).

People, boys and girls, vomit their grievances all over you, and it's the silliest of gripes.

I picked up something a long, long time ago: "Be weary of the company you keep".

Essentially, before you whine and cry to someone, consider how they perceive it; before you brag, consider who you are bragging to; etc. On the road of life, just as there is ALWAYS someone going slower than you, there is ALWAYS someone going faster than you - so keep right. If you need to pass someone going slower, signal, pull into the left lane, pass, signal, and pull back into the right lane. If you don't, if you just hang out in the left lane, you are going to p!ss off a lot of people who are going faster than you. What's more, you'll appear EVEN SLOWER + STUPID + AZZHOLE for camping that left lane like you're god and your sh!t doesn't stink.

These people who don't have any regard for others seriously annoy me, as they do you, A-Unit.

Oh, and that nickle-dimey sh!t... Amen, dude, A-fuxin'-men.

"I've got a coupon in my purse here somewhere, hold on."
*rummage for ten minutes*
"I guess I must've left it at home, nevermind. What's the total? Ok, I have two pennies here, just a second..."
*rummage around, empty purse, find only one penny on the bottom of the purse*
"Um, well, I guess not. Here's a nickle."

Meanwhile, there are 15 people stacked up in the line behind the person.


I use the "chick" version, but the man version is: *reach in one pocket, reach in other pocket, reach in shirt pocket, turn to significant other: "do have two pennies" she rummages around, empties purse, finds only one penny...*

People have this "It's my turn, dammit, so I'll do as I please" mentality. You see it in conversations, on the road, in lines at stores, everywhere.

Oooh, and don't even get me started on the "forward thinking" or "analytical thought". People, rather than think, open their mouths and ask 943 questions instead. "I don't want to use my brain, just give me the answer." The ULTIMATE in laziness! I attribute all this to the coddling and sheilding of kids by parents. People have virtually zero "street smarts" anymore.

But maybe it's just me, and yes, I'm ranting too.

 

[KarmaSutra]

Im in complete agreement with both of you.

I fvcking loathe the whole "poor me" mentality. It's pathetic that it's become more normal to blame society for your ills ather than accept the fact that your life is what you make it. If it sucks and not going the way you want it's your goddamned fault. Not your Moms, not your Sunday school teacher, not the government, not 1-800-ask-Gary, only you.

Responsibilty is the one personality trait which noone helps to mature. Scratch that, Noone CAN help you with that. You have to want it, not need it.

Drama queens and whiners rank as one of my biggest pet peeves!

If something bothers me, I take it upon myself to sort it out. If I need help, I'll ask for help. If it's out of my control, I'll try and move on.

Drama queens, on the other hand, cry, moan, dance around, tell everyone they know and even people they don't know, and turn it into a fvcking epic disaster! What's worse is that their "problems" are usually trivial nonsense. Maybe if they had been diagnosed with cancer, lost a parent or been accused of rape, I might be more sympathetic, but when it's over someone not talking to them, a cancelled date or a squabble over clothes, it makes me hate them.

What I hate most of all, however, are people who threaten to commit suicide and have no intention of following through. People like these cause real suicide victims not to be taken seriously.

Law 10: Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky

You can die from someone else's misery— emotional states are as infectious as diseases. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortunate sometimes draw misfortune on themselves; they will also draw it on you. Associate with the happy and fortunate instead.

Anything else you need to know?

Sometimes I wonder if I am precipitating in my own disaster by helping out some members on sosuave who are stuck in the matrix and won't listen to a good advice. Most of these members will ignore the advice on letting go of the b1tch that cheated on them but they rather wait until someone gives them the advice they want to hear and that is "how they can get her back".
