Two people may experience the same person very differently

[La Lioness Priyanka]

i used to get upset with duer's who would constantly wax poetic about someone who was really an asshole to me, but now i have realized that the same person may have been a real doll to someone else.

the same person can be witty and wonderful and interesting to one person, and insanely petty to a another.

now, i fully understand that this OP is somewhat trite and platitudinous. still, its probably a useful thing to keep in mind

1. +1

I just learn to take everything with a grain of salt and form my own opinions.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. yes, and accept that we cant all like each other.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Don't listen to LynneSin. She turned my auntie into a newt.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. LOL

2. Trite and Platitudinous are two of the most overlooked characters in Hamlet.

There's a lot to be learned from their dialog with Laertes in Act II. :crazy:

:D

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. you are making my brain stretch. i think i may have to accuse you of pedantry

:P

:hi:

3. I would have nothing to do with anyone that acts like an asshole to others

I really don't care if they treated me well or not. Beyond the ethical consideration of not wanting to be supportive of rotten people, there is the selfish motives. I figure anyone that is rotten to others will eventually get around to me, as soon as the motive for their niceness is no valid.

5. you may not know...

[NJmaverick]

7. True enough

however there are usually tip offs. They say you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat waiters and waitresses, for example.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. i was mainly talking about du'ers. yes, the way people treat waitstaff or really anyone

less powerful then them is very telling

[NJmaverick]

11. Exactly

:hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. we cant love everyone and everyone cant love us. its just life, you know

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. I have never expected everyone to even like me...

Never mind love me!

But I do expect (in vain, alas) people to be polite.

:shrug:

[mcctatas]

13. Hell, sometimes I experience the same person very differently

Of course I am a little touched in the head

[Dangerously Amused]

14. Agreed, and it is good to be reminded of that once in a while.

Like the saying that "No two people have the same parents." Took me a while to figure that one out, but it is so true.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. indeed.

[VMI Dem]

17. I ignore what others post.

I judge them by whether they have cleavage and the size of said cleavage.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

18. you must love me

:P

[VMI Dem]

20. You're in the top tier.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. i'd like to know who is topping me?

[VMI Dem]

22. Thats a loaded question.

[datasuspect]

23. nope.

i'm the arbiter of who is cool and who isn't.

if i think someone is a dick, they probably are.

people only hate me because i am so righteous.

the best part is, i could not give two fucks what many people think. in fact, i wish my ass was big enough so that they could all kiss it.

and i have a pretty big butt.

[Shell Beau]

25. I agree. I like some that some don't like and vice versa.

That is life basically.
