Okay, I've just come back from the pub, and I'm slightly drunk, so excuse my blatant talking-of-shite... Why is it that I feel compelled to be so fucking cynical at every, tiny, little thing that people do? I must seem like a pompous kid that constantly corrects peoples grammar and spelling, yet mine is probably a piss-poor attempt at making me seem intelligent. All I do is swear and cuss, and point out their stupidity like some twat in the schoolyard, waiting for peoples acknowledgement.
you are kind of an abrassive dick, but that's what i like about you. though, to be honest, what i like tends to piss other people off extensively. you're you. who the fuck cares what anyone else thinks?
It's not so much how other people think of me, but what I think of myself. I don't want this thread to turn sympathetic towards me, because that's one thing I hate. I know I'm abrassive, and I know I'm arrogant, but I'm just wondering why. It's not like I hate anyone - actually, I like quite alot of people, and can be friendly - but general stupidity annoys me, yet who am I to say what is "stupid" or not? They're all my own opinions which are just as plausible as to the next idiots.
well i could probably come up with some reasons, but the important thing is your thinking about it. S
you're a judge of character, i'll give you that. great, not so much that i've seen. anyway, luke, what's going on in your life right now? i was a hyper-caustic bitch for many years. i've manage to wangle my way down to a more liveable "crabby bitch" status. i had to really shake up my life and scrape off a few barnacles before i managed to find a degree of joy again. do you feel like your kinda stagnating? getting sick of seeing the same ol' shit?
the one in the middle. quit jacking threads. this is about luke. he's gonna stomp your ass. *snicker*
I say what I say so that people like you can talk about me, I like that. ohh THAT one Thought so. ok.. back on topic. I think you're a great guy.
Life's good. I'm doing well (enough) in college, but I still have those essays to do. The only problem I have is so trivial, it's stupid, and that's to do with a girl. My feelings of arrogance has been prominent for sometime though, before the complications of college and girls. Sam, why do you think it is?
people that are arrogent to others or are nasty do it to keep people at their distance, because they feel there is an aspect or aspects to themselves that are weak or shamefuland keeping people at their distance means that they won't discover what that is. also if you feel like you get irratated by people a lot its worth noting what you are getting irratated by, because its says a lot more about you. what gets on our nerves about other people tend to be a direct reflection about things we dislike in ourselves do you want to change it? if so sit down with some people you see a lot but are generally caustic too, say that you notice you have been rude and ask them how they felt. if you feel that you simply could never do that, listen to peoples responses, then should you be speaking to people the way you do in the first place? S
and good manners are a habit, as such, something that can be learned it tends to ingrain itself on your pysche eventually, too.
i find your caustic, abrasive nature refreshing. i know when i first started posting here, i didn't get it and was wary ... but once i realized you are a bit of a gob shite and rather a nice bloke i found it amusing. i'm not trying to be all "luke your a great guy" bs or anything like that. just people are who they are. i'm one of those rather naive, blatantly nice (unless i'm in a bad mood) sort of person. sometimes i wish i could be a bit more caustic and abrasive so i could protect myself more from the shit of the world. but well, that's not me. i also wonder sometimes if human beings can ever truly be happy with who they are as individuals. not to get all existential or anything. maybe there are people out there that are 100% happy with who they are. but i think most of us sit around (especially when pissed or stoned) and reflect on who we are and wonder what about us should change or could change and why. this probably didn't help you at all, luke ... but well, maybe someone else will have more insight.
I don't really get the "caustic" thing, I always saw you as something of a village idiot type character (Just aiming for an antidote to the "you're a great guy" stuff... I think you're great really:tongue: )
