Surrounded by a**holes...

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.

Used to,.. then I..

*quite smoking weed for 2 months to figure out who my real friends were.

*started my own business to control who I had to deal with

*86'd friends who were only hangers on and who were not productive/creative/insightful etc etc


You need a new scene.
 
There's only a handful of people anyone can rely on in their life at any given time. Scumbags come and go, many are family members and former close friends. It depends on what you've done for other people. If you've really helped family and friends and gone out of your way for them they'll be there for you. Really try and think all the time 'What have I done lately to deserve to have people go out of their way to be my friend/help me.'
 
I work in the ghetto with ghetto people. I have seen the scum of humanity. It makes you feel glad for what you have and hate humanity all at the same time.

Well if everyone else thinks you're an asshole, chances are you probably are one. How you can claim that everyone around you are scumbags yet all your friends and family think you are an angry anti-social jerk? It doesn't add up.

That makes sense, but I overstated when I said "everyone" thinks I'm an asshole. That's just me being a little more emotional at the moment and I think most of the people that know me know that I'm not an asshole. But there are a select few who I know think this of me because they don't know me well and that's fine. The ones that really bother me are people like my mother in law, who like I said is a bit of a bigot and judges people not based on their character or their actions but more on their looks or what she considers their radical opinions.

I have a challenge for you dear boy and I guarantee it will improve your perspective on life.
From now on, say to people exactly what you think. Don't bite your tongue, just say it.
Let people know where they stand with you no matter who they are. Start with your partner at work.
People will appreciate you for it.

It works for me.

I would be fired in my first hour of work if I did this. Terrible advice. No employer is going to put up with some guy running around trashing everyone.

Sounds like pretty good advice.

Do you live in some shit hole like WI or something? Try Seattle, San Diego, Boston.
 
Sometimes I hate living in my home country, Finland.

So many douchebags here, we call them "juntti" or "amis".

Mostly drunken people who try to start a fight all the time, over 18 years old trying to get underage to bed, people not helping each other, people judging others way too quickly etc..

I dont know. We have great people here too. But I see so much people just as a trash.

But in the end, I am a trash myself. I am not a good man.

I wish someday I will be. I try to.

Age 12 to 27 seems to be the worst.

Some people never learn. Fortunately others do.

I hated teens when I was a kid, hated teens when I was a teen myself and still hate them. Not all of them of course, but so many of these teens are just... Unbelievable.

But who am I to judge? Guess I am not the dream human myself either.

I don't mean go round wantonly giving people verbal abuse. Just when the time comes to speak, always speak your mind.
If you are saying you cannot do that hen you need to look at yourself. You are not free.

My boss is a total ass hole. I still tell him when he fucks me off, I even pay a visit to his office to do so and have once slammed his door so hard it nearly fell off.
He still appreciates my brutal honesty though.

If you would rather be a yes man, that's your call.

I'll think you'll like Finland :) I have a mexican friend, she loves Finland. But then again, she has a finnish boyfriend, so maybe that has something to do with this.

If you will someday come to northern Europe, I strongly recommend you to visit Norway. Amazing place, second home for me.

This. Sometimes we hate everyone. Sometimes we hate ourselves too.

Sometimes we get drunk, yell at players on tv and talk to our imaginary drunk-friends. We have a culture of our own...


ps. Rawe, jos oot suomalainen, etkai vain satu olemaan Julle?
