Things have been eating at me, folks.
I am REALLY curious to know if I'm alone in this.
# 1 -
When one of two monogamous people talks about "who they'd like to bang" or whatever, when they're supposed to be dedicated to their partner. I could understand it if they were in an open relationship (which I don't particularly advocate, but I don't discriminate all the same)... but come on. I just can't wrap my head around that. Its probably just me, I'unno.
# 2 -
Listening to an unnamed couple who are around me sometimes, who are having a conversation about weight loss, and hearing this;
Female; "Yeah... I have to stay little. I have to keep the weight off me, or you won't be with me anymore."
Male; "Damn right. I don't date fatties."
Like... wow. Sounds like a healthy relationship.
That kind of mentality disgusts me.
# 3 - Telling me that "certain tones piss me off."
I have a friend who I've had numerous conversations with, and I will be TRYING my BEST to express a particular thought or feeling, and she'd get angry with me, because my "tone pissed her off."
Well, I'm sorry you can't handle certain voice tones.
Maybe if you listened to what I'm SAYING, rather than the TONE in which I'm saying it, you'd be a little closer to adopting some sense of cognitive understanding of someone's thoughts and opinions--the very thoughts and opinions you ASKED to hear.
# 4 - I have some folks in my friend circle who are a little more "open" than I am. They swing a lot of ways, and a couple of them greet one another by groping each other... which I find weird. Despite asking people not to greet me this way, they do it any way. I don't enjoy being felt up against my will (lol). I also don't enjoy being called names by friends, who seem to think that's normal... but, again, none of them seem to care.
# 5 -
Taking someone back days after discovering irrefutable evidence that they cheated on you.
And following this action with this statement;
"I only seem to love people who hurt me. I can't help it that he's cute."
......
JESUS.
You can only feel bad for folks after a certain point, ya know?
Until they're LITERALLY asking for it.
# 6 -
Me being a bad person for conspiracy theorizing.
This one is a complex issue, I'll just sum it up by saying that I usually feel like garbage just for giving any deep thought to big world problems, and every single person close to me (no exaggeration) have told me its just going to drag down my life to care about those things, and a few of these people have even gotten very angry with me for caring about this "dumb bullsh!t."
I'm not angry at them. Not completely.
But its frustrating, trying to determine exactly how I can become a part of something bigger in the world when no one around me is interested--and the simple mention of it infuriates all of them.
I don't enjoy being bumbarded with discouragement.
Its extremely frustrating and saddening.
Not one person has supported me and my ideas. Not one.
And I can understand why, because it scares and frustrates them to think about--but its starting to get really old.
Well... that's my explosion for the month.
Rant over.
Honest opinion, most of the above seem like minor annoyances that deal more with how you deal with people not the other way around, YOU can't change any of the people or things you mentioned above, you can only change how they affect you and how you react to them.
I am with you but the tone of our voices is a big part of how we communicate. It can express many, many things that weren't actually spoken and can even change the things that were said.
on another note....the fattie issue....I think a couple has the obligation to stay healthy for one another. Not "un-fat" but healthy (I am speaking of married couples here).
As for the couples talking about other people sexually.....not sure...seems strange to me but I can tell my wife if I think a woman is beautiful .... she will probably tell me that she agrees.....not sure that is a big deal.
p.s. I don't like the Tone in which you typed your Post

I'm wondering if your class covered electronic communication and what that pyramid might look like in those areas?
Either you are not satisfied with yourself or you feel your partner is not satisfied with you. Either way its all in your head.
