Just the other day I found out that someone thinks that I am a snob here on Elliquiy. I was rather stunned at this and basically put it on the Shout Box due to the sheer gravity of astonsihment. Of course in good form the rest of those watching on E. decided that being a snob wasnt necessarily a bad thing and made me laugh about the whole situation, I know why I love this place so much sometimes. Now normally I wouldnt let something like this get to me, but it irks me because there was a snap judgement made about me without really knowing me. And though its par for the course in reference to being human, I guess I expect more from an individual here on E.
Then something occured to me, that my being a rather selfcentered brat had never crossed my mind until that moment. What if this person was on the back swing of a nasty depression? What if their life was so complicated and stressful, that my acutual bad habit of neglecting to say hello, or be some modicum of polite had effected them that day when they made this judgement about me. And truly it would be a clouded judgement, because all of the other screwed crap in their life just happened to become more prominent fixture that day, and my stupid little nonsense did not help at all. Well then maybe they are right. Maybe I am a snob.
Let me make this perfectly clear so there are no misunderstandings. I do not, nor will I ever consider myself a snob. Looking down at people from any height is arrogant and just plain stupid and its not something I have EVER made a habit of doing. And to the person whothinks this, I do apologise for whatever it is that I did, though we have spoken so very little I cant imagine what it is.
The real purpose behind my writing this little blog, is that I think we as people make too many snap judgements about each other. She doesnt say hi, so of course she thinks she is too good for us or he doesnt speak when I speak to him because he doesnt like me. WTF?! Seriously we arent in the same room together, so how in the WORLD could you know what someone else is thinking or feeling. There are no facial expressions or body langauge to convey the true meanings of words, so writing or failure to is no indication of ANYTHING! Folks... please quit assuming things, its bad for you.
We constantly write about the "DRAMA". Oh please. Get over it already. The only drama that happens, is the nonsense you allow to play in your head. If you take it as drama, there will be drama. If you take it as mostly folks acting like asses, you will laugh your head off. If someone needs all that to make themselves feel better, let them run with that. The only person they are really hurting is themselves, because truly they cant touch you if you dont allow it. All these little shenanigans with folks flaming each other, and trash talking is just ridiculous. Can we please leave the Jerry Springer show on TV and not bring it to Elliquiy?
I think i got it all off my chest. This blog thing was a good idea. I feel much better now.
