can't deal with people...their stupidity and ignorance...

Post Reply New Topic

I seem to have less and less tolerance for stupidity and ignorance.
On the other hand, many people I know seem more and more aggravated by me being honest and posting things on Facebook, etc. that are truly relevant to our lives...

ie. someone I know had her child get a vaccine...before the kid got the vaccine, I told her everything that happened to our son, told her so much information and she dismissed it. Fine, no problem. A year later, she is freaking out because her daughter almost died when she got the vaccine. THEN she wanted to know all about it. She was freaked for a few years with infections her children were getting. I told her everything I knew about it and she was so very thankful (she asked me).

Now, I tell her something about allergies, etc. and food, as her kids seem to be very much like mine. Now she says "sometimes I'd rather not know about it". HUH? You'd rather NOT know about what can harm you?

On the other hand, why is it that the same people are constantly complaining about cigarette smoke? Who cares at this point. If they knew anything at all, they'd know that the research proves that it is NOT as bad as the government is making it out to be, but somehow, they worry about that.

Another example, I was once talking to a friend about MRSA infection I got and how I nearly died. My sister IMMEDIATELY jumped on my case and told me that I did NOT KNOW what I was talking about. That NOBODY dies of that...I kept my mouth shut. 3 weeks later she posts on my facebook "oh, listen, my friend such and such, his wife, she is in the hospital and might die from an MRSA infection, do you have any tips on how to help him?" WTH? F#$% off!

Again, just tired, sick and tired of people.

The same thing with people saying I am negative. Me? Negative? Well, maybe if you weren't an AHOLE to me I wouldn't be so negative. But you mistreat me, put me down in front of others, bully me and somehow, "I AM NEGATIVE" for saying I am "sick of aholes"? Gotta love it.

There you go. I am tired. Just tired of everyone by now. I have ZERO sympathy for people. It is NOT that I have never had sympathy, empathy, no, it is that literally you have destroyed that in me by your constant BS of wanting my help when you are in trouble and then when you aren't, even if I don't specifically tell YOU that you must do something, but just randomly post medical things, etc. on the internet, you complain about my posts. Then don't freaking read them. Honestly, I don't give a hoot about your "Thank God" stuff that you post every day. I think you are a idiot, but NEVER do I offend people with that. I just keep my mouth shut and "like their posts" if it makes them feel good inside...who cares.

Any ideas what to do? Honestly, at this point, I hate everyone I don't want anything to do with people anymore.

Stop wasting your time trying to save the stupid sheeple drones. They are more a liability than anything else.

I have a rule. I tell them ONE TIME. If that's not enough, then I treat them like a friend who got bitten by a zombie and turned. It's too late at that point; it's not my friend any more.

And take heed because in just about every movie with zombies, the person who refused to accept that the dead thing in front of them is not their loved on any more, either gets bitten or eaten. There's a lot of meaning to the metaphor.



Save only those who are still alive. You get much better results and it will improve your mood.

Thank you for your honesty. I agree. I have been doing that little by little. Everyday I get rid of one more. Of course, my parents and family then are all over me because it must be because of "me"...but honestly, the only reason I still talk to them is because of my son. If it weren't for him, I would have told them all to take a hike too.

I think it is difficult because I feel that I always go above and beyond...but I agree, I need to start getting rid of them. In the last week two of my cousins, their father, their mother are gone. My grandmother, whom I love dearly but has created so much havoc in my life by playing BS social games, lying, etc. with my cousins, while I have been there for her for over 30yrs through thick and thin when NOBODY took the time to even call her, is next on my list. Sad, but true.

I feel the same way about stupid people, but reading the sentiments from another person, I realize that's it's really nothing to get angry about. The arrogance of some people will often make smart people look bad. If you have above average intelligence, you are fated to a life of being misunderstood.

But it is not enough to just be a smart person. To live among others, a smart person has to realize that the annoying things will never stop coming. One day you will meet someone who corrects you, and you will feel just like one of those idiots you have corrected. We're all ignorant on some level. I understand you are just venting, so that's cool. These are tiny things that were said by people who probably don't remember saying them to begin with, or certainly don't give them the same amount of importance.

Focus on your own happiness. Do something that takes your mind off of those idiots and makes you realize how great of a person you are.

oh yeah, and if you are really that annoyed by them, just do them a favor and stop talking to them.

from my own experience I must say I'd rather have a friend leave me than have her constantly bickering about something, or else I'd leave. I had a friend who was always annoyed by just about everything. She expected perfection. She needed to get her s**t sorted out. Once everyone left her she crawled back for sympathy but I was past that.

Ya, I see people I just want to smack and say "Whats wrong with you?" But even if I did, they wouldn't listen. They have to learn for themselves
