Now this post, was my very first freshly pressed post. Later I will post my even more popular second freshly pressed post. I hope you enjoy it as much as wordpress did.
Let’s Be Friends… Wait Nevermind
Why I will never be popular.
1. I am too sarcastic. Sure certain men enjoy a sarcastic woman. The same kind of man that gets turned on by a girl being mean as hell to them. You know who you are. But everyone else, they find it funny if they understand it. Don’t under any circumstances be sarcastic with someone who is stupid. They get super angry and bitter.
2. I am confrontational. If someone hurts my feelings, or says something that is simply hateful I just can’t not say anything. Yes I am that person that says what everyone is thinking but won’t say it. Especially in those awful work meetings. Yes I have made presenters cry. She had it coming.
3. I am too blunt. This goes hand in hand with number two. I simply do not understand why people are not simply honest all of the time. What is the point of lying, and making things up? I will never understand why someone would ever lie about anything ever.
4. I am an introvert. Now introverts are largely misunderstood group of people. It does not mean I do not enjoy the company of others, it simply means social occasions drain me emotionally and physically. I can only handle so much before I hit empty and need to recharge.
5. My awesomeness. I am so awesome it is threatening to many people. My awesomeness fills up a room. How do I know I am that awesome? Ask around. Everyone says so.
How strange. I have yet to experience you as “confrontational.”
Confrontation in life and on paper are two different ball games. Besides, if I am going to confront it is going to be damn well worth it. I save it up for the good battles. You would have loved how I single handedly took down my entire republican family about occupy wall street last year thanksgiving. They went into silence. I save it up, so when I use it, it is like a bomb of knowledge. Boom son, you just got schooled.
LOL! I would have loved to have seen that.
If I learned anything from my republican dad, it is how to argue. Even if you are wrong, which I wasn’t, you can still be more educated about a subject and win easily.
I identify with many of these things. I also really suck at meaningless small talk.
I just feel so awkward. My wife is so good at it. Sometimes I think they prefer her to me because I suck at conversation.
I feel awkward too, but only with meaningless banter. Give me some crisis or big real-world issues, and I light up. Good thing I became a therapist….I see it as me cutting through all the bullshit and getting to the good stuff.
I do believe this post is the reason why I began following your blog. It has never let me down.
I am glad, sometimes I am not so confident in my posts. Thanks for following!
Being not so confident is what makes you push a little harder…always a good trait.
Oh, I like thinking of it that way. Very insightful.
#5 is true. I totally asked around.
I knew it!
I’m too sarcastic to be popular, too. In case you couldn’t tell from my blog’s name….
The good ones always are.
This was the post that introduced me to you. You so speaka my language! My first first reblog attempt (I had no idea what I was doing that early in blogging!), thanks for letting me practice my awkwardness on you.
PS — It seems that odd and sarcastic is the new pragmatic. I’m no longer unpopular; in fact, my wacky dirt habit has developed a bit of a fan club with the PTA moms, with most of whom I have nothing else in common. And I’m still sarcastic as hell — with a smile, always with a smile — when it drives the point. (When someone says, “Wow, you’re so fit, and with four kids!” to which I reply, “Yeah, eating vegetables is just the worst way to get fat.”)
Fan club in the PTA that is epic, you must teach me how to do this in a couple years.
