Damn, I think i'm an a**hole

[Meekail]

Lately, i've just been really snappy at anyone that says anything i think is dumb. I'm typically a very passive person when it comes to things i feel aren't worth a debate, but lately, for maybe the last month, since a two-year relationship ended, i've just had the fangs out like never before.

 

I say i'm an a**hole, because for a long time, i've been told i was a jerk by many. And sometimes its just name calling, other times i was a jerk, but a lot of times i'd just say it was the person being mad that i put them in their place. Because the only thing worst than a jerk is a jerk who can actually put you in your place in an argument.

 

But recently, i've felt like i realize i can be this way, and i don't want to be. But this past break-up, all the energy i put into it and for it to end the way it did, its made me very sour about life and people in general (especially women). And not out of some irrational rage, but due to facts of life that i find really disapointing.

 

I don't want to make this a long rant. I know many of you don't know me well as i don't post regularly, but i felt like i needed to vent, and this if the first place i thought of that i felt had more cool people than not-so-cool people.

 

I watched 500 Days of Summer and it just sent me into a huge flashback of past relationships and now i'm slightly intoxicated by sorrow, emotions, and rum of course.

You should try being the funny asshole, when you're actually mean but people just laugh at it, I use that all the time.

lol. nice one.

 

I don't think you're an asshole.

[EscoLehGo]

A true asshole doesn't even for one second consider themselves to be an asshole at all. If you're a self aware asshole then this phase of your life could pass should more positive events begin to happen to you. I'm a self aware asshole myself, I'm sure once I'm done being miserable my demeanor will change.

Be careful how you label yourself.

 

I'm a dick, not an asshole.

pro-tip: stop being an asshole.

 

it's actually pretty easy.

Not if you're surrounded by stupid people.

I am now a bit active in the GTA V forum because I think I should. After doing this thread, I felt like I need to lay back and enjoy the forums.

I see where you're coming from and I agree that it is easy to be antagonistic with people you find to be stupid or ignorant, but I wouldn't use that as an excuse.

 

People come from all walks of life and some of them don't have the privilege that you and I have regarding our education and knowledge of the world. Additionally, everybody knows something different. I could prattle on to you about sociological concepts and so on, and you may think I'm the smartest person in the world for knowing what I know, but if you spoke on physics, I would feel the fool. Another example is how I am well aware that Czechoslovakia hasn't existed since the first day of 1993, but many people young and old from all kinds of places aren't aware of this. I have met people in my country (USA) who still think Czechoslovakia exists, and I have met people in Mexico who think that Czechoslovakia still exists. It's not a piece of information that is as relevant to them as it is to, quite possibly, a European.

 

So when I deal with people I find to be uneducated, I give them the benefit of the doubt and instead of thinking them beneath me and worthy of contempt, I imagine them as the chance to teach someone something new and interesting and inspiring. I have a cousin who is several years older than me and belongs to a very conservative Christian family, but he is very open-minded. My father and I were talking with him one day and we were expressing our opinions and supporting facts on certain things, and he seems so mind-blown, like learning a new idea about what he knew was the coolest thing in the world. My cousin isn't stupid, but up until that point, he had a pretty one-sided view of things.

 

So please, don't use "people are stupid" as a reason to be mean to others. There is almost no reason to ever be mean to another human being.

[Mr. Reaper.]

Not to be a dick or anything.

 

But my remark wasn't meant to be taken in an entirely literal form.

 

 

Also, I'd never call someone who is culturally different stupid.

As you said, it's merely that they're different, not stupid.

[Ziggy455]

I find stupid people exacerbate my snappiness. For example: When people feel the need to correct my grammar. Just recently a guy in my media class came up to the board, was cheered on by a group of his friends in the process, took the marker out of my hand and did this to my sentence:

 

Original

To which I could feel the presence of darkness, it's hold over me felt foreboding.

 

To this:

 

To that I could feel the prescence of darkness! its hold over me felt throbbing.

 

The room erupted into laughter as he walked back to his chair and I was left stood there realizing that those kids who did the Columbine shooting had the right idea. I felt like an asshole due to the Aurora shootings but the less mentally-stable kids must suffer greatly.

Yeah. Enjoy the other sections of GTAF too. It is a pretty big place with a bunch of fun nooks and crannies.

 

Why do I think of Bill Cosby when this line comes to mind?

"If enough people call you an asshole, you are probably an asshole".

Follow that bit and you should be cool.

[epoxi]

If you're not an a**hole, it's great because you're not really an asshole.

 

If you are an a**hole, it's okay because being conscious of the fact you might be one is the first step to not being one. It's win/win!*

 

*As long as you stay away from the V forum.

If you think someone is an asshole over the internet, chances are you're just a little bitch.

 

I used to be a pretty massive ass in real life a few years ago. I would insult people to their face not jokingly to make other people laugh because what I was saying was true. If someone was bugging me I would just tell them to "shut up because frankly I don't give a f*ck/not interested/don't care."

I would tell people to their face that I did not like them, reasons why I didn't like then, and never to talk to me again, pretty sure I humiliated this girl quite badly because she sat next to me on a daily basis and I didn't like her.

 

Actually our whole circle of friends were like that, we'd just constantly insult each other and whoever else was nearby for fun, we would put open cans of Tuna in each others bags throw food at each other and other people, hide peoples things, trip, punch, push people and just hit peoples did out of their hands onto the ground for no reason, we were all gigantic ass holes, anyone who didn't hang around with us didn't like us because we would probably picked on them for something or another, we never bullied anyone specifically, pretty much everyone.

 

But we grew up around 16 or 17, the people I didn't know started liking me more as a person rather than for my ruthlessly humiliating jokes and we all foundeveryone else to be pretty cool once we stopped being douchebags.

 

Once you realize you're an asshole you can't keep being one and mean it.

 

[Acehilm]

Be a funny asshole. It's simple really.

 

Just be the quiet guy for a while, and when you speak, it's always a funny insult. The quieter, the funnier when speaking.

[WHAT!?]

Be a funny asshole. It's simple really.

 

Just be the quiet guy for a while, and when you speak, it's always a funny insult. The quieter, the funnier when speaking.

This only works if you pick your targets and your insults well.

 

You don't want to be the quiet weird guy that suddenly speaks just to lash out at the person everyone likes. Probably just get yourself a verbal and or physical bashing.

 

And, you know, the thing about a shark... he's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be living... until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin'. The ocean turns red, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... rip you to pieces.

 

Aye, that'll get ya every time, Chief.

[Creed Bratton]

Don't be a funny asshole. Be a dominant asshole. It doesn't really matter what people think of you as long as you establish superiority over them. The only time that other people's opinion matters is when something you want depends on those people. If you're superior to them, they will want things from you, and you won't have to worry about their opinion of you. They'll have to worry about your opinion of them.

 

Or you could try not being an asshole. That might work too.

I don't think he's an asshole. I know he's an asshole. And a self-admitted on as well.

 

But he's one of those funny assholes, luckily if never suffered his wrath.

There is no difference in thinking someone is an asshole andknowing they're an asshole, either way they're an asshole in your eyes, so I don't really understand why you posted that.

MURDOC has been nice lately though.

Hating your life and being surrounded by what you percieve to be stupid people is a pretty legit excuse

[El Dildo]

hating your life should be an even better reason to NOT be an asshole.

 

if you hate your life, being an asshole will only make it worse

Unless you've met him in real life and had a few beer with him, you can't really say you know he's an asshole.

 

For the record, he's a pretty cool guy.

I know he is. It's hard to explain what I think of him. The best I could do in my post was 'funny asshole'. I don't think of him who constantly bashes other people for sh*t, in fact he generally does it with reason.
