I totally agree with you
i think people are so insecure about their own standings that they must feed off of the empowerment they get from dominating others through verbal and
mental attacks, its quite pathetic
I have no enemies mainly because i dont get into trouble with anyone, and i am a very likable person,
of course i realize i am a likable person because of a few things:
- The fact that i listen really well
- The fact that i never criticize and always enforce the decision others make
- That i am humorous and i dont mind making fun of myself to get people to laugh, of course this makes me an ample target for people to start making
fun of me
I find that the place i get these attacks from are my friends, except they dont do it openly they do it through the guise of "jokes". Its funny how
no one will admit that they are not really jokes but personal attacks, mainly because no one likes to admit what they are actually doing and like to
tell themselves its just for fun. Yet they get the same feeling of empowerment anyways. In this way its not just open bullies who do it, but almost
everyone i would say.
And even though ive realized that they are doing this through jokes ive wondered why i kept reacting the way i always did (by either acting a little
upset in a "joking" way or retorting a "joke" back), and ive come to a few conclusions:
- If you dont react and stay quiet then people will always be like, "whats wrong, come on you cant take a joke" or something similar
- I dont take it personally because i know that they need this in order to make themselves feel better and in this way they want my company more
because it makes them feel good. Now this has several benefits, first off it keeps them weak and within their insecurity, and so that is one weakness
they have that i can always manipulate and extort to my liking if ever the need arises. It keeps them ignorant of themselves meaning i will always be
higher and more mature then they are. It creates a deeper connection with the person because they come to rely on me, and makes it easier for me to
manipulate them into doing what i want of them. I have been using it as a tool for years and in high school and elementary school i used it to become
close friends with the most popular kids in school, which i would never been able to become more popular without (not that i care for or consider
popularity important anymore)
- By always being made fun of people will see you as weak and will greatly underestimate you, and if ever needed the element of surprise is a huge
advantage in most situations.
I have become really good at reading people's insecurities, and agin i just see it as weakness, and let them do their own thing
now i want to do something more interesting, im going to start calling people out on these "jokes"
im going to show them how its really their subconscious (or conscious) insecurities finding a way to lower themselves
im going to put exactly what people dont want to hear right in their faces and show them how weak they really are
its going to be a lot of fun, because everyone has underestimated me so much, that im going to show them how mature i am compared to them
I think the most interesting thing is going to be to see who reacts badly and who reacts maturely to what i tell them, i think that will be a true
test of character
btw whenever people are overly angry i simply and calmly tell them one sentence that usually stops them dead in their tracks
"I dont know why you are so angry, there are kids in Africa who havent eaten for the entire day, have no homes and are going through a war who are
happier then you are."
