People dont like people who judges them and look down on them. Sounds like they know you think you are better than them and there's nothing more people hate than someone who they know think they are superior than them. The fact that you have only mentioned your good side and mention all those peoples flaws tells me you just look at the worst on people, yet want people to just see your good side. I know this because i used to be like you.....a judgmental b@stard who thought I was the greatest thing walking this earth. Then i realized Im just an average joe like 80% of the population

Does the wife make sammiches? because nothing is better than a blowjob and a sammich. You should spend more time with your family IMO

She's a great cook, not great at giving head but I'm encouraging her to practice.

I do spend a lot of time with my family but I don't want to be one of those guys who cuts out his friends completely. The fact is that he reaches out to me to do certain things that he likes to do, I agree because I feel like that's part of being a good friend, but then it just goes sour.

Well I just spent money on a new lens for my camera. :icon_neut

Couple days working the local gas station bathrooms, I might be able to scrounge up that amount.
 
Just listen to this, everything will be alright!

I used to be like that. I'm perfectly content with being with my family. I still get a lot of time with the boys. In the gym, bjj, drinking, etc. The older I get the less I feel the need to do that stuff. I rarely have any single friends anymore
 
I think I see where you are coming from TS. My situation is kind of similar.

I've got peoples back 100%, and I, like yourself, am a genuinely good guy. But I'm not a guy who's gonna grab a beer with you after work. I'm not going to go to the company Christmas party or retreat and party hard. I'm not going to try and bond with you by the watercooler because I just don't have the energy or desire to do that, AND I'm not going to pretend.

Those really close to me, they "get it", but those that I don't work closely with, they have a different, and slightly less flattering view of me.

Recently I've become a little more conscious of how people perceive me, and I'm working on it shaping the impression I make.

Could you make an extra effort, TS? I get that you want people to see you for who you really are straight away, but superficial things throw people off and give them the wrong impression.

Anyway, best of luck to you!
 
Oh and I feel you TS. A lot of people take people that are nice for granted and act like selfish assholes to them. Just find some people that know how to express their appreciation for you and you'll feel a lot better.

I mentioned in an earlier post that my new strategy may be to act like an asshole, smile in their face while I tell them to fuck off. Because being nice with a straight face doesn't seem to work anymore.

That's certainly some people's opinion and I would try not to hold that against them, just like I don't like having my opinion held against me like some sort of negative character trait.
 
The nicer you are the more you're going to notice how unsavory others act. All a matter of contrast.

I do take note the being a douchebag has become somewhat acceptable in America in the past decade or so. Saying shit that would have you layed out in the 90's is commonplace now in everyday conversations. Somewhere along the line we lost our sense of decency and self respect.
 
Some of the co-workers I have met through my life has really tested my tolerance level.
The dumbest people you will ever meet on this planet work security jobs, trust me on this.
I have been a dishwasher and a cleaning-man (whatever you call it) and nothing fucking compares to the stupidity of security personnel. Holy shit.
Obviously im not referring to highly trained people. Im referring to those that takes a 3-weeks course and call themselves a certified security whatever.
If you are ever at an airport, look at the guy checking the x-ray machine and wonder "Does that guy have any fucking clue what he is watching on that screen?", the answer is most likely NO, he does not.
But the more advanced jobs you get, the better your co-workers will be.
But we all have to go through those shitty jobs sometime in our life while we educate ourselves, it is hell, I agree with that.
As for your friends, that is another problem. You really should get friends that you can rely on, it is very important for when you are feeling that "Is everyone a fucking retard" feeling.
It's true what many posters have said already, about how many assholes you meet on a day.
