You only get what you want because of how you talk to people

Someone said that to me the other day. Didn’t really have an effect on me but it is a new observation. Haven’t heard that one before, usually it’s the same old.

You’re thick headed-(This term bores me, not enough substance)

You’re selfish-(Usually said by women I date)

You’re self absorbed-(Said by people who cant hold a conversation)

You’re Arrogant (That’s my favorite, makes me smile)

You’re Pigheaded-(Usually said by adults who are incapable of holding their own in an argument)

You’re Conceded-(This saying no longer has meaning because it’s become trendy   and commercial)

You’re Crude-(Very old word but still has power and boldness)

You’re Rude-(To antique and politically correct sounding)

You’re an Asshole-(Most frequently heard)

You’re Egotistical-(Heard once of twice but made me laugh)

Let’s look at that comment closer. You only get what you want because of how you talk to people. For those of you who don’t get what that comment was supposed to mean. It means that the only reason people ever agree with me or see my point of view to anything, is because I am verbally tyrannical and mentally vicious. Or as I now label myself as the (physiological Big Bad Wolf) I will huff and buff and blow your self-confidence down. Personally and by the view of others (voiced by people who like me and people who are irritated by me) opinions on this comment that its obviously an over kill assumption. Said out of frustration and mixed with an attempt to achieve a psychologist’s-style conclusion. Even if that be the case, it was still a creative and intriguing statement. I don’t hear interesting opinions and statements often anymore. Lets take a quick walk through these negative characteristics I’m branded with, see if we all can’t understand and learn something in general. And yes that includes me and my think head.

First, let us tackle this idea or thought of many individuals thinking that I’m better then everyone else. First off this kind of statement is childish and ignorant. If I really thought I was better then EVERYONE. I wouldn’t bother having a job I’d just sit back and sell my farts as perfume. So off the bat, anyone who gives me a vague-elementary school based insult doesn’t even deserve an adult response. And therefor- I am better then you (okay people that last part was just a joke)

Of what I know thus far, the reasons why I’m told I act better is because I think I am smarter, more educated on issues and see many people as beneath me. Okay, am I smarter then everyone? obviously not. If that was the case i’d be an astronaut, the first emperor of earth or at least a German. Do I think I’m starter then some people, yes. If you honestly think you are not smarter then someone around you then your either full of shit or fucking stupid. And by now you would have died by swallowing your own tongue.

The question now is, do I think I’m smarter then most people? To me their are two different kinds of smart, Book smarts (Told about other’s experiences) and common sense(learned from your own experiences). Okay then, do I have better book smarts then most people No I don’t, not at all. I can’t spell for shit, I have the handwriting of a disgruntled infant, I read slow as hell and I couldn’t do math to save my own life. These factors are well known to everyone including those who give me such flattering labels. SO how is it I can have and admit these open flaws and still retain the self-proclaimed title of “Smartest Person Ever?”

Now, do I have better common sense then most? Yes, I think I do. I find myself more open minded on curtain things. Others tend to think one dimensional, even though I’m very firm and stubborn when I come to a conclusion. That’s because I’ve either seen it first hand or already read, watched or heard five different perspectives on the topic. Most people just take what they think on an idea and block out all others, no matter own realistic or informal it maybe. So do I think I’m smarter then people in general? If most people keep thinking one dimensional then yes. I have better common sense then they do and anyone with an open mind does as well.

2Nd , am I more educated on issues then most people? I already basically answer this question with my first response. Since the 3rd part of this question is closely connected we will stick them all together and answer all at once.(don’t applaud yet theirs still more!!!!)

Am I better then most people and are many others beneath me? This question I feel is harder to answer because this is the only question that makes me think deeply. Maybe this will help and shed some light,

Every single person is born equal, regardless of color, religion and ethnicity (or whatever other differences we have that seem drastic enough to hate and kill each other over.) We are all equal when we are young. When we don’t know shit about life, death, greed, rent, relationships, dept, taxes and existence only extends as far as the play ground or as high up into the clouds as we can see. When you reach the age of reason and understanding, that is when you must struggle to find the truth and maintain your equality. If you choose to neglect truth and instead fill your head and heart with pure; discontent, bigotry, hate, fabrication, greed and ungratefulness. You have then revoked your equality and you are beneath others including myself. All I can give is my tolerance and a little joke here and there but if you want my opinion its going to be less satisfying and less kind. I have the choice of speaking softer and changing so people embracing me more. But if I change (even a little) for others then I know I wont like myself anymore and that I refuse. I will not surrender who I am just because others find the taste of raw reality to be sour.

I’m Thick headed- (ever since birth)

I’m selfish- (Only to people that I think owe me something)

I’m Self absorbed- (mostly in relationships)

I’m Arrogant- (All the time)

I’m Pigheaded- (To people that act like me)

I’m Conceded- (hardly but sometimes for fun)

I’m Crude- (On purpose)

I’m Rude- (when I need to be)

I’m an Asshole- (To everyone but I have a scenes of humor about it)

I’m Egotistical- (When people tell me I am)

Just because I except all of you and your flaws, doesn’t mean I cant tell you - Your a fucking idiot, you annoy me and your full of shit-. Crude is the deepest kind of honesty you will ever achieve and rudeness will grind off the sugar coating. If you keep feeding everyone sugar-coated bullshit, you’ll burn cavities in their minds and judgment. And when a truly bad person comes around, the people are defenseless and easily controlled. Weakness is a sign of weakness. Push back and don’t be afraid to speak from your gut sometimes. I am a humanist even though they don’t deserve it.

Drink one for me
