The end of the second paragraph is usually not there. People are fast to dismiss this. Maybe you dont like the culturally accepted dunking on outsiders or are sensitive to discrimination. Depending on your environment, you‘ll get shit on quickly.

That's the reality how people see themselves. Everyone else is an asshole - but not me.

Not all people.

I think of myself as the a-hole all the time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Well - good point. I see myself as an asshole most of the time too. And I am. I don't deny I'm selfish and self-centered, but I do try to subjugate those things when I'm around others. Most people see me as a quiet, wallflower type of person - they don't know the real asshole within. Sort of the Bigfoot of all Assholes in some situations.

If you are ever wanting to support someone do NOT start a sentence with "Maybe you are just". It comes off as trivializing the thing you are discussing.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you are just right about that.

Maybe you are just trivializing about that.

My problem is that everyone around me is dumb.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

When I was younger, I had this impression, too. One day I realised that the problem might be me, not them: what if they are not dumb, but I'm just a bit more intelligent? This realisation helped me a lot to have a better relationship with my fellow humans.

What if you think everyone is an asshole including yourself?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

What asshole drew this comic about me?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

I feel attacked

In all three of those scenarios, vigorous exercise can serve as a reboot too.

If anyone needs me I'll be installing a shower in my kitchen

This but also, at least once a week, slap someone. As a little treat to yourself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you know how much this would actually help me in my life?

Like I'd wait for the perfect moment every week where someone very definitely needs slapped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Oh man a weekly guaranteed slap system would be actually really useful
