Also, speaking spiritually; it's POSSIBLE that I may have a real demon living in my soul. I'm going to ask about that in Religion. This is a serious thing I'm talking about to, I'm not just being goth or something, I seriously, genuinely have reason to suspect there is a demon in me.
Might be a good time to depart the forum, then, because you’re not going to get away with being rude and nasty to people here, I’m afraid.
D00d, just being rude and nasty isn't the answer, because here's the catch22:
A) Be a good guy, people use you as a doormat/swiffer mop.
B) Be a jerk/rulebreaker, people get other people who are higher up on the pecking order than you to officially use you as a swiffer mop.
Neither one really works for me. I really don't want to go to jail, or be the subject of a 500 page Kiwi Farms thread, with all my dox on the first post for everyone to harass me with. Also, I don't think that compliantly letting people walk all over me because of my inferiority is that great either. 40 years of it tends to get dull.
C) Retreat to the wild with my only connections to the outside world being a beat up Hyundai, a ham radio, a AM/MW radio, and a satellite dish for internet that doesn't work during storms. Pay my property taxes and nobody cares about me being out there, as long as I stay out of the way of the weed planters. It's not like I contribute anything to society anyway, so I'll just raise chickens, grow potatoes, and gather acorns. (Oh yeah, and fish for a couple months in the spring before the toxic algae kills everything in the river-again.)
Being an e-thug seems great until Kiwi Farms doxes you and suddenly the entire internetz is laughing at you and sending you copies of the Quran.
Yeah, I honestly had this same thought.
I get why the decision to not be pushed around anymore is there. Too much bullying... you bet it can lead to that.
But that's not an excuse to get nasty.
On top of that though, it's ALSO not the way to deal with the bullies. It's a way to JOIN them, sure, a way to sink to their level, but... that'd be even more nonsensical.
I'm saying all of this not just as one who has experienced alot of bullying (back during highschool, naturally)... but as someone who managed to directly triumph over *ALL* of them.
And I remained the "good guy" through all of it. Granted... I could also control the bloody faculty, but still, I never did break a rule or even so much as act slightly rude towards even one person in order to exercise that control. It just wasnt necessary, and besides, I refused to sink to the level of the jerks I had been up against. THAT would have been a victory for them.
Which is something else to keep in mind. You think you're rising above them by doing this big personality change, but... that sure aint what it looks like from my perspective.
....are you sure? Cause in order for that to happen, I wouldn't be able to tell about it through a lengthy story.I think you should create a thread about this. I’d like to hear what you have to say. In fact it’s a topic I’ve taken an interest in lately (“dark attachments”).
I tried the small acreage thing in Tasmania, only to get death threated by neighbours for not making myself available to the local wife swappers/sleaze club.
I'm not competing on any food chains. I'm just walking down a new path that's smoother and easier than that "Johnny be good" one was.
Fortunately, I live in the US. Also, my main neighbors will be marijuana plants, cows, a handful of Hmong plant tenders, and the rancher who has superior grazing rights. I don't think that I'll have any problems from a swinger club. It helps to choose an area with few if any neighbors. Dunno if that's possible on a small island.
Think this explains where i want to be in life ATM as i try day by day to increase my self esteem and way of being i think i may achieve this at least some days.Maybe you could strike a balance somewhere between Uncomplaining doormat and Mean machine?
For decades, I have been laughed at, shunned, shamed, belittled, and hated just for the simple fact that I'm not normal like everyone around me forces me to be.
I have been yelled at for things that weren't my fault, accused and punished for wrongdoings that had other peoples' names on them, I've been stolen from under the automatic and unavoidable label of eternally weak, and most heinous of all, my own family, who are supposed to be supportive of me in battling my Demon(s), are no differently aligned towards me.
I've been told to (read: FORCED TO) be nice about it and not fight against it or make it right, because just like when I was living with my evil uncle and aunt, everyone is always right and I am the only one in the known universe who is always wrong no matter what good deed he does.
Well guess what? I'm done! I'm sick of being a good person! I'm not going to do it anymore! It does nothing beneficial for me anymore; I do good things for people every single day of my life, asking ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in return. And what do I get? Everything listed at the beginning of this thread.
No more Mr. Nice Guy from now on. The UberScout that saved turtles from busy roads and dropped $20 bills in tip jars and donation buckets is dead; someone broke into his house and blew his skill inward with a sawn-off shotgun.
Everyone, meet the NEW UberScout....
That's the Candy Dark SideDefinitely these the days l am standoffish however l would call that the soft version of the *Dark Side*.
You are maturing. When you start questioning how you come off to other people and why you do what you do - to me this is the next level of maturity. You are reinventing yourself and it's great. You find yourself and thought patterns changing as your maturity kicks in. You obviously have a new interest in life from this post, and l am happy for you.
Think about how a villain in Teen Titans GO would live his/her daily routine when not terrorizing the town.Are you going to be rude to others or are you just going to pay them no mind at all? I don't really understand what you're getting at by going to the "dark side".
I've gotten exhausted dealing with people and have done the latter. It's more helpful than being rude, at least in my experience. Just ignoring people and not really doing anything nice or mean to them, since it doesn't take a lot of energy or thought really.
