The Politics of Every Day Life
    #5280367 - 02/09/06 01:35 AM (17 years, 11 months ago)

How would you describe your human interaction style? Are you reserved or boisterous, do you tend to smile at people you don't know but see every day or not? Do you try to put out a positive vibe whenever possible, only when it suits you, or not at all? Are you humble?

And why? Can you control your social interaction style or are you at the mercy of your own behavior? Is your behavior in each situation a direct result of what you hope to get out of each relationship? Do you care about people you dont really know that well when you are making small talk with them? Do you fake interest? Do you not bother?

Do you have issues with anger or rage? Does this affect your daily interaction? Do you feel a need to apologize, do you feel guilty, why?

What makes you who you are?

i smile all the fuckin time, laugh a lot (cause i laugh when i get nervous or shy, and if i dont know you and youre nice, im shy. if youre an ass then i can get pretty agressive... lol).
and im anti-social without wanting to. i want to be social, i just dont know how.... and although i get along and like alot of people, i dont trust them or call them a friend until they make it into my "inner circle" or best friend category. if youre not one of my best friends, youre just an acquaintance, theres no inbetween

I don't understand why people are assholes. I think its a vicious clueless cycle. People are mean and aggressive, and I don't mean when it is deserved, I mean overall, and they don't get anywhere with people, and as a result, they get meaner and meaner.

You get what you give, really....as far as /trusting/ people there are many mucky layers of trust..for me anyway...i try to let my inner child hang out right on my shirt sleeve, don't need to trust someone to let them know i'm a goofball

I am always an asshole when I first meet a person... I don't set out to be an asshole, it is just a defense mechanism... I have major, fucking MAJOR trust issues.

"too"?

Compassion is a pillow in this harsh ass world.

Im just really strange. Im the guy who makes the weird comments, or the guy who does bizarre things, not for comedic effect, just because Im odd.

Anyone else feel like their life is crumbling under the weight of its own self-created bullshit?

I don't speak unless I feel I have something important, interesting, or relevant to say. In fact, this post I am making now is almost not relevant enough or important enough to actually post, but I guess I'll do it anyway.

I'm all over the place. Most of the time I greet everyone I see. I tell cashiers shit like "May the good lord shine upon your day" just for shits and giggles. I'm always nice to waitresses, unless they suck, in which case I leave and on my way out let the manager know. I try to make women(young, old, hot, not) smile.

For the most part I'm nice. If you're not nice to me then I'll either let it slide or let you know what I think of it.

Rarely though, I get into a homicidal mode. I try to avoid everyone and just stay in and workout or go to the range when this happens. I'll see someone walking down the street and picture a bullet leaving the barrel and heading for their gray matter to pop it like zit without trying, just happens.

Alcohol just potentiates whatever mood I'm in. When I'm happy I buy drinks for people I like, slide the bartender/waitress $50 for a tip, and just generally have a good time. If I fall into my rage then I try to excuse myself and head home. Sometimes I don't, and end up getting banned from the establishment.

Normally I don't change my behavior to get what I want, but if I have to do it, I will. If there's enough money on the line I will do whatever it takes to get it.

Faking interest is reserved for people certain people. Like if my grandmother is telling me about how she washed clothes, I listen, but couldn't care less. For the general population however I'm either wanting to hear what you have to say, or I'm leaving. I try not to talk to people I don't know however. Normal pleasantries are as far as I go for the most part. I only want to talk to people I don't know if it's about getting money.

Perhaps all actions against others, whether "positive" or "negative" are a subconscious power struggle. "The Will to Power".

upon meeting people I tend to be a little standoffish, I need to test the water with most people before I can jump into a conversation, because when I get into a conversation that I know wont sustain, I tend to ramble and talk too much. its weird. SOmetimes I get so nervous in conversation that I will start shaking....thats when I know im thinking too much

but when im around people im comfortable with for the most part silence is much easier to deal with. in fact once I get to a place with a group of people or person I can really enjoy the silence.

People who im most close with know that Im very much in my own world, I suppose the feeling of being "forced" into the behavior and perception of a controlled situation makes me kinda uncomfortable. I need to feel like I can come and go from conversation as I please, and that a person wont be offended if I start drawing or crocheting while i listen to them

ive found that in most of the situations where 'nice guys finish last' i wouldnt want to be finishing first anyway.

if it takes being an asshole to accomplish something, i'd rather not bother with it.

Jim do you really think you come off as an asshole?

cuz I've met you, and it didn't seem that way to me at all, my first impression of you was friendly, slightly quiet, helpful,generally laid back and enjoyable to be around, all good things and that impression still stands.


Doobs, I dunno you've met me, what do you think?

I think that for the most part, I'm just really real. I laugh when I need to, cry when I need to. I smile at strangers all the time. I'm positive for the most part, unless the reality of the situation negates that, I think I'm positive but not optimistic if that makes sense. I don't have time for misunderstandings, therefore if I don't like you, your going to know it, and I can be a real bitch when it comes down to it, I don't have the time or energy to be fake. If I count you as a friend you can bet I love you unconditionally and promise to always let you in to my life as I'm thankful to share a piece of yours.

oh and I ramble about crap alot....what was the question again?

I'm a chameleon... I adjust to the situation I'm presented with and react as logically as I can. If I'm with friends (of which I have very very few) I'll say what i think. If I'm dealing with anyone else, I position myself so as not to be taken advantage of, and I'll do what I need to to make the interaction a positive one..... this can make me come off as an asshole, but that isn't the intention. I just been fucked about 5 times too many in my life because I was too nice and let people roll right over me. I like to be nice to every one, but that isn't always possible, and yes I can be a real aggressive prick if I feel i'm being used.

I don't like to come off as a jerk, but sometimes people don't respond to being nice.

........someday I'll find it.
