why do people take every little thing so seriously and personally? |
|
Edited on Thu Sep-07-06 01:38 PM by mark414
someone says they don't like a city that you live in or like - take it personally and call them names;
someone says they prefer a certain look or body type that you don't possess - take it personally and call them names;
someone likes this and you like that; someone doesn't like this and you don't like that - take it personally and call them names.
whatever happened to allowing for personal tastes and opinions? jesus christ settle down everyone, smoke a joint, this is the internet...RELAX
edited to say i'm not talking about anyone so DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY!

2. Immaturity and general inability to suppress the ego like an adult. |
|
Childishness, boorishness, toddler-like mentality - all those reasons.
Plus too muich self-invesment in and self-worth based on externals, and not based solely on internals like a mature, actualized person.
It's pretty fucking sad, but I have learned that not only the majority of people really fucking dumb, they're really fucking immature.

9. May I offer a corrolary? |
|
There is a widespread inability, on DU and elsewhere, to distinguish asking a question or proposing a hypothetical from actively advocating a behavior.
I don't understand the squeamish inability to explore a given topic without automatically making emotionalism the first, last, and only response to it. We all have deep feelings about certain topics, but some of us are unable to discuss them except in terms of those feelings.

The extremes are the perpetually offended and the those who can't help themselves and take a giant, steaming pile on a number of innocuous threads w/ their asshole-ness.
We've got both in abundance here (and just about everywhere on message boards, big and small), and it's ridiculous in both cases.
Both need to relax...

22. Sounds like somebody's taking things a little too personally |
|
Why don't you relax a little. Settle down, if you don't like the subject of the thread, smoke a joint, turn off the computer, use the hide thread or ignore button.
Isn't technology wonderful?

I have opinions. If people don't like them, then tough shit.
Likewise, if someone hates the state or town I live in, then I don't care. Just as long as I like it, that's all that matters (I hate the town I live in, btw. But I do love MN).

It's stanching the bloodflow to your brain. You're confusing Marshall McLuhan with Wilson Bryan Key again.
Eat some lutefisk, or some Spam, or some fucking Schwan's. It won't do anything for your brainpower, but it might keep your fingers out of your buttcrack for a second or three.
Anyway, aren't you late for your gig as Godspell extra out in Chanhassen?

There was a golden moment in the early 80s when the two words meant entirely different things.
