Something I'd Like to Share About Myself

Let me preface this blog post by saying, if I have shared this blog with you, the following rant does not include you. You fit into my very small circle of people I can tolerate.

As I get older, I am finding out more and more that I hate people and care not to surround myself with more than a couple of close friends and family. Maybe the word "hate" is a strong way of putting it, maybe it's a strong dislike. I hate small talk with strangers or co-workers. The usual, "how was your weekend?" type questions bore me. I don't care how your weekend was, and if I have not voluntarily told you how mine was, it means I do not want you to know. And quite frankly, it's exhausting.

Now, I think everyone I work with gets this, or they are possibly mistaking me as having a shy personality. But guess what, I'm not shy, I am actually quite the opposite. I just hate all of you. Nothing personal against anyone, I think I just plain dislike people. You may think, well she hates her job and that is why she doesn't care to talk to people. This is not true. I love the company, the actual business that is, and I really like my job.

This hatred expands beyond the scope of work though, it's people in general, the guy standing waaay to close to me in the Wawa line, my goodietoshoe neighbor that thinks she is being nice by bringing my trash cans up from the curb, that damn kid that is looking over my should while I am eating my lunch in the Chili's booth who's parents think he is being cute. However, people do not even have to do anything annoying for me to dislike them, you could smile at my when I pass you in the hallway. Yes, I'll smile back because that is the "normal" thing to do, but as soon as I pass you, my smile immediately dissipates and I roll my eyes.

It's in my genes, not sure why because I am pretty sure the rest of my family in general like people. I just have a strong disdain for everyone.

However, if you are in my very small, close knit circle, I have nothing but love for you. I will be the first one in line to feed your pets while you are away, baby sit while you and your significant other enjoy a romantic night on the town, or be a very loving and listening shoulder for you to cry on, I will literally give you the shirt off of my back. When you are my true friend, you will stay my true friend for life. So I'm not all bad, you just have to be able to get into my circle. Not that people are beating down door to get into this circle, but I prefer it that way, obviously.

So please people, pass it along...if I don't speak to you, it's not you , it's me and I like it that way.

whew! ...that felt good.

My thoughts exactly.

a good way to get rid of the kid at Chili's, and if you're a scuba diver, you know what i'm saying here--is to "snorkel" him with a twisty straw full of your favorite beverage. of course, you have to be discrete about it to make it appear as if the kid has slobbered all over himself. alcoholic drinks are not a wise choice, as they will likely put the smoking gun in your, er, mouth...before you know it, the parents have taken him outside to teach him a lesson.

I am the same way, Smoochies.

And so is one of BFFs [Alienwhere] ...I think he and I are the only people that understand each other.

Smoochies said...

Cory, I am not sure about you being a parent. maybe you and Jenny should rethink the idea.

Welcome to my world Lioux! Now we at least know there are 3 of us!

Hmm, last year I would have whole heartedly agreed with you that I hate most people. Now, after dropping out of society to go live in the woods, the few people I come in contact with don't bother me. Although, any time I head into the city, as soon as I step off that train, I'm right back to wishing people around me would drop dead and get out of my way.

Smoochies said...

That is precisely why I could never live in the city.

im fairly certain more people feel the same than dont.

however, the chick who takes your garbage can up? wouldn't you hate her even more if she took hers and left yours every time? haha --> (you probably hate that too, its almost as bad as smiley faces or the sudden over use of exclamation points). i think one of the main reasons many of us 'hate' other's is due to the demise of plain old common courtesy, like the damn kid in chilli's.

though i dont know the 'goodietoshoes' there must be more about her you hate than the trash can thing, yes? wondering particularly because i do this for my neighbors here and there.

Smoochies said...

Understandable to bring up your neighbors trash can if you live in say a townhouse, or in the city where putting out your trash can takes all of about 5 steps. I have also shared this responsibility when I lived in the boro, but I live on a half acre and my driveway is about 50 feet long.

I think what bothers me the most is I have no idea why she did it! Other than that, she is an okay neighbor. She just needs to stay away from my waste.

i must say it feels great to be outside of your inner circle. I most especially hate you. I'm the type that doesn't smile at you when I pass you in the halls. I'm thinking phuck you. what the phuck are looking at, but no smile for you. phuck you and your fakeazz smile. be real. when you see me . you know I hate you. I'm not a closet hater like you. I especially hate you.

Smoochies said...

Sweet, than the feeling is mutual! One less person I have to smile at.

That's great! I hate a lot of people as well. As for the kid leaning over and staring at you at Chili's, even worse are the parents that look at you with that, "That's Lil' Charlie for ya" look
