Insecurity’s a Bitch. So I hear.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking as to why people act the way they do. We have the idiots that are bound and determined to bring us down or call us out. We’ve never hidden anything but you have these people that will flat out lie about it and you have people that want desperately to believe it’s true.
I have this person on the Enid news forum that got angry at a post I made and has decided rather than to argue the merits of his point, to attack me personally. He keeps making comments about how I’m not as big a deal as I think I am. I told him I was sorry he was insecure and that insecure people often get feelings of jealousy for people that are not. (He does not understand that I am classically trained in internet arguing, LOL).
I am working on this transcript of a hearing and the other lawyer keeps making these utterly ridiculous statements such as “Mr. Jones is pulling things out of his hat” etc. Now, I know you all don’t know him, but let me tell you, he does not “pull things out of his hat”. He KNOWS the law inside and out and he can turn to any page in any book and cite it to you even if the book is 80 years old. He knows his shit. This other guys is on and on about him being wrong when he’s the one with a twisted sense of reality.
I said all that to say something we already really know, but it baffles me that people that are not strong really do take issue with people that are or people that know more than them. What is it in them that makes them have a need to bring other people down? I know that I personally am inspired by strong people. What is it that makes one person inspired and another absolutely fearful or jealous? Why can’t people just admit they are different than others and move on. Some people are leaders and some are not. Some people are confident and some are not. The ones that are not generally know they are not. There are things I am not comfortable in leading and I’m OK to step back and let someone else do it. Then there are the ones that simply cannot be that way - it somehow makes them feel like a lesser person or something to admit that leadership or confidence is not their strong point. It’s really a pain in the ass for the rest of us.
Is it as simple as insecurity causing people to be so jealous they can’t stand it? And I laugh because what’s there to be jealous of, really? If you want to have balls, grow some. Sheesh. Don’t be mad just because someone else said what you wish you had the balls to say. Don’t attack someone personally just because they don’t agree with you about politics or tattoos for crying out loud. Have a healthy debate about it, but then move on and have a beer together. That’s a lot of the deal - too many people don’t get the “art” of arguing or debate and they take it all personally. I admit that I did sometimes, but I have learned to see the difference in a healthy debate and when it’s personal.
So to all you whiners out there, I’m sorry your mama didn’t hold you enough. I’m sorry you didn’t make the cheerleading squad or the football team (or that you did and can’t get past it now that you’re an adult and have nowhere to go with all that). I’m sorry you suck so much you have to bring other people down to make yourself feel better. I’m sorry you have no balls and that mine are bigger than yours.
Grow a pair or shut the fuck up.
