I’ve already made comments on the ridiculousness of people thinking I’m some extraordinary being. Two weekends ago I was telling a friend about my criticisms of my current job. At the end, he said “It must be really bad because I’ve never you complain about anything before.”
Seriously? That’s just crazy. It’s a socially mature thing to be able to control emotion, esp. in a business setting. And positive thinking is good for the heart. But maybe I should complain more. Maybe if I whine about all the little stupid things that always happen because we interact with each other as stupid human beings, then I’ll be more approachable. I think that’s the thing that bothers me most about people viewing me as so high above them. They won’t talk to me about what’s really going on; I guess they feel I’d look down on them or not understand them. So I get this bubble gum summary of their life. Maybe if I complained more people would see I don’t live a bubble gum life and start telling me what’s really going on.
Heck, that’s what I do on here all the time anyways: the whine-o-matic.
