This but also, at least once a week, slap someone. As a little treat to yourself.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Do you know how much this would actually help me in my life?

Like I'd wait for the perfect moment every week where someone very definitely needs slapped.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 2 points 8 months ago

Oh man a weekly guaranteed slap system would be actually really useful

If anyone needs me I'll be installing a shower in my kitchen

In all three of those scenarios, vigorous exercise can serve as a reboot too.

If you are ever wanting to support someone do NOT start a sentence with "Maybe you are just". It comes off as trivializing the thing you are discussing.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you are just right about that.

Maybe you are just trivializing about that.

What asshole drew this comic about me?

I feel attacked

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What if you think everyone is an asshole including yourself?

[–] tubaruco@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

thanks, i have now imagined people turning into literal ass holes.

[–] BustinJiber@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'm perfectly fine being irritable on my own terms dickhead thank you very much fucking presumptuous asshole

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That's the reality how people see themselves. Everyone else is an asshole - but not me.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Not all people.

I think of myself as the a-hole all the time.

[–] tygerprints@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Well - good point. I see myself as an asshole most of the time too. And I am. I don't deny I'm selfish and self-centered, but I do try to subjugate those things when I'm around others. Most people see me as a quiet, wallflower type of person - they don't know the real asshole within. Sort of the Bigfoot of all Assholes in some situations.

My problem is that everyone around me is dumb.

[–] Kornblumenratte@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago

When I was younger, I had this impression, too. One day I realised that the problem might be me, not them: what if they are not dumb, but I'm just a bit more intelligent? This realisation helped me a lot to have a better relationship with my fellow humans.

The end of the second paragraph is usually not there. People are fast to dismiss this. Maybe you dont like the culturally accepted dunking on outsiders or are sensitive to discrimination. Depending on your environment, you‘ll get shit on quickly.
