Well calling someone a homosexual is so edgy and funny, I was just speechless.

I wasn't calling you a homosexual, exactly. I was just sharing my impression based on your post. I wasn't trying to offend you.

Not offended. I assumed you were joking but you actually get the impression based on my post that I'm a homosexual? I'm married, have a newborn kid and I can't take my eyes off the chicks tits that sits across from me. If I am gay I don't know it yet.

That was just based on your OP. Your further comments made my original hypothesis unlikely. I was mostly joking though, the comments about homophobic people and the like seemed a little odd compared to the rest of your post.

To be fair I did change the thread title from scumbags to assholes. Scumbags seemed a little harsh.

Aha I meant no harm TS. I feel for you in your situation, but it sounds like you have a lot of good things going on in your life (new kid, wife). Alpha up a bit and show the assholes who's boss.

Do you ever feel like you're one of the few decent people you know? I swear to god I feel like I am surrounded by scumbags.

My partner at work, the only other guy that does that same job I do, is a lazy asshole who throws me under the bus at a moment's notice but likes to chat it up and act like it's me and him against the world.

My supposed best friend of 20 years is a selfish, inconsiderate douchebag most of the time.

The worst part about all of this, is somehow over the years I've been given this stigma of being anti-social or angry by my family, friends, and coworkers. Mostly because I don't walk around with a big smile on my face all the time, yet if you were to talk to me I'm probably one of the most reasonable, helpful, and kind people you can meet.

I'm fucking sick of this stupid shit. I'm done being nice and keeping my mouth shut about things that negatively effect me. It obviously has no reflection on my reputation as a human being.

Quite the opposite actually. I am the lone asshole in a large group of very decent people. I'll give you 3 guesses as to who is in charge. :)

In all seriousness though, holding shit in and biting your tongue all the time just makes you non confrontational. It does not make you reasonable, rational, or even a decent human being. Or a good friend for that matter. In fact, it makes you a shitty friend. If I had a friend for 20 fucking years, and I was behaving like a douche, he would be letting me down if he did not hold a mirror to my face about it. And you can sure as shit bet I would be calling him out.

And please do not misunderstand this. Confrontations do not have to have animosity. It is all about your intentions. I want to help my friends be better people. I want to help my spouse be her best self. I want my staff to be their most productive and achieve their goals. So when I see them falling short, I bring it to their attention, and offer help in removing any obstacles. Most of the time they thank me.

I am getting better about being confrontational and voicing my thoughts, however, my best friend is very sensitive and easily offended by anything resembling criticism. Seriously, we were out the other night drinking and he was going on about how he's the best scorer on our soccer team and it's all due to his speed and I told him no, you're the best scorer because of your tenacity (nice word for ball hog) and that I score more goals by pure speed alone than he has. He was seriously offended by that, like he actually got mad about it even though I acknowledged he's the best scorer we have. If I would have said "hey dude, you're being a dick right now" he probably would never speak to me again.

Not to mention he's a grown man and being a stubborn person myself I know how hard it is to just get somebody to change the way they behave. I know he doesn't do things intentionally but he's just going to be inconsiderate the rest of his life, calling him out on it all the time isn't really going to help things IMO.

Sounds like one of my good friends. He's a good dude, but hypersensitive and insecure. He can't handle even the slightest of criticism, or just even a joke. I basically have to watch what I'm saying at all times because I know he's going to take what I'm saying the wrong way. Usually after some drinks he lightens up.

I AM NOT IMPRESSED SHERDOG
 
My best friend is a good guy, he's a good family man, I don't think we would have been friends for this long if he wasn't. But there are certain things about both of our personalities that are a bad combination. I'm a bit of a pushover and will almost always do whatever I need to do to maintain harmony. He sometimes lives his life at the expense of others. You can imagine how that can create some negative feelings.
