Venting Most people are fake and hate it when you point it out

[JayJay]

A lot of people that I've experienced were extremely opportunistic and half-faced. I've experienced this online and irl. Then when you point out their bs, they either get defensive or act in a cowardly way like trying to ignore the criticism and pretend nothing happened. I've suffered and been through a lot and a lot of people would've roped in my situation. But at least that suffering built character. It made me appreciate integrity and honesty. I feel like 80% of people are just phonies. They go along with social expectations and are too pussy-whipped to be themselves. You were never free if you don't value your solitude. I came to acknowledge a lot of the crappy behavior I received was also due to my looks and being an incel. The world is cruel to the weak and doesn't care about casualties.

I agree. It has frustrated me my entire life.

You are correct. The majority of people are hidden enemies with hidden agendas. He really can't trust that many of them. Keep your circle small and know who's in it.

I agree with you, HOWEVER, with so many decades behind me and seeing what does come into play, those that are cruel, self-centered and opportunistic always get what is coming to them.

Call it Karma or whatever, BUT life balances itself out.

I have had folks burn me in business and private life and guess what? Bang! it comes back down the road and bites them hard.

I always get a chuckle when someone has burned me and then when it hits home, the standard remark is something like: "why me? or I cannot believe this is happening to me!"

From a guy who drove off and left me 35 miles from my car and laughed about it, to the person who said that I was worthless, they and so many others received what they sowed.

NO, I am not vindictive or anything, it is just so interesting to watch life balance itself out and the outcomes of nasty, negative behavior.

Fake behavior is right up there with all the other nasty, negative human traits.

Wish I learned this about other people sooner, it would have saved me a lot of disillusionment.

I wouldn't even be as mad about it if people lied only for their own benefit, at least that makes sense. Instead, you have people lie to you about how much they like you when they don't, or how much you can trust them when you can't, all because they are afraid of conflict instead of just saying what they mean and saving everyone the trouble. I'm sick of people who can't at least communicate their needs.

Although, I'll admit I've been on the other side of this situation too. When I was younger I was terrified that people would stalk and kill me if I tried to negotiate my boundaries, so I just gave up and let people abuse me. Now I just feel resentment.

They really do!! Especially people in the "caring" professions - social workers, mh pros. Or religious people.

Who will all have you sedated, arrested, committed "for your own good". They actually believe this shit!

Ask them how is that caring exactly? And they are so conditioned and brainwashed by their system, you pointing out that IT is fake, they hate that.

But probably worse are the ones who know full well its controlfreak sadism, and get kicks out of it.

Friends and family are similar but different. For years, I'd listen to their woes. Nod and smile. Try to help. Find solutions for their problems. Paint on a cheerful face. Make jokes. Empathise with them.

Be a friend basically.

That was reciprocated a little - you know the sort of thing, they'll bang on for an hour about their issues. Then you mention depression or whatever and they'll say oh I'm so sorry to hear that you should see a therapist. And thats it.

And later, all their contempt will come out. They will cut you off, victim blame, smear, sneer, ghost. Everyone here knows how that is.

I'm bullish enough that I'd use that moment to point out their fakeness. When you're this close to incited suicide you do not go quietly.

They hate it!!!

Then they're gone. But you know a week later they'd have polished up their self-delusion and will be the same.

Fuck them all.
