What's everyone up to right now?

[Losty]

It's because he has always treated everyone on this forum with kindness and respect and I know him and care for him deeply. If you came here and made friends things would be different for you. When you treat people like shit, I have a harder time feeling bad for you.

Your selective sympathy just proves that everyone's "feelings" are just a commodity to be bought a fucking sold. You have no empathy for me or what I could be going through. All you care about is yourself and yeah I am pissed off. I am a person who actually does care about people more than others, but I can't be given any respect for my feelings because I stick up for myself. Most people just let others walk all over them, because there's this sort of punishment aspect to every single interaction. You have to let yourself be tortured by another person, give into their desires just a bit every time. But because I don't let people like you walk all over me, with your sick little fucking game of "earn my respect" I won't get your respect, huh. When was it that this little game started? Was it when I said some things you don't like in that fucking insignificant thread when I joined this forum? It was probably then that you decided that your empathy could be selective. You disrespectful, insensitive little girl, you fucking treat me like shit, I'm not going to play your game.

You see? I have never attacked you. I don't believe I have ever been cruel to you. I simply haven't developed a relationship with you. I see no reason in offering you kind advice or sensitive sympathies because you have only responded to such with anger and hostility. Does it mean I hate you? No. It just means we aren't friends.

I'm not playing any games. I am telling you how it is. If you want to be treated with kindness and respect, you need to treat other people with kindness and respect. You come in here, in to a forum, a community, a family...and you see people giving you real genuine advice, and your response is to treat them like complete garbage. You think that's okay? I give you more than you deserve by civilly tolerating you. If you think I should be especially nice to you after the way you've mistreated people I love, you're even more deluded than I thought.

Grow up, stop being an asshole, and you might make some friends.

You clearly don't know who Losty is, dude.

You have no empathy for me or what I could be going through.

Okay, what are you going through?

I am a person who actually does care about people more than others, but I can't be given any respect for my feelings because I stick up for myself.

Your posts do not read as though you are sticking up for yourself, they read as unnecessarily hostile and defensive.

But because I don't let people like you walk all over me, with your sick little fucking game of "earn my respect" I won't get your respect, huh.

You certainly won't get my respect simply because you feel like you deserve it.

When was it that this little game started?

If you are referring to what you call the Game of Earn My Respect, I suppose it started when you joined the forums, as it did for everyone else who has joined.

You disrespectful, insensitive little girl, you fucking treat me like shit, I'm not going to play your game.

I think you just lost the game.

I wonder how the dichotomy of respect differs in either of our philosophies. I wonder if on some basic fundamental level, my brain is just wired to perceive the world differently. I walk around feeling as though I have no connection to your thought patterns. It makes me angry sometimes when I think about the human condition. I just have to remind myself that I am not like other people and I was born to operate in a different modus operandi. I guess there's something that we can agree on, which I think is a nice little sentiment; you don't have to be my friend and I don't have to care. I wanted to be your friend, but that's obviously not how human beings work. It's not my fault. I know that I won't be able to communicate with you on the same frequency, but here's to hoping that in some obscure corner of the universe, some alien is translating this and sending it back to your mind's frequency.

[Losty]

When you treat people badly and then insist that they respect you, it is your fault that they don't want to be your friend.

This is so fucking tiring. I don't know when you thought I was being an asshole, I don't know where I'd have to look back and decrypt whatever notions of disrespect you have. I think we have the same idea right now, which is that I feel you're disrespecting me and you feeling I'm disrespecting you. I don't know why you have to make this a matter of "friends" or "not friends". It seems like a fucking mind control trick. I hate how there's this scale that gets tipped with people like you. I say something you don't like and you hold onto it. You put it me in debt for every perceived infraction of your rules. The operative word here being "your rules", I really can't think of better wording. When I deal with people I put them on the same level as me, I don't do this weird shit you've made up in your head, which is probably just intrinsic part of human nature, which I have somehow over come. I am really great person and you continue to put me on the ground and stomp my beautiful face into the mud. You abuse me through these elaborate rituals, I am expected to just take it. Yes, you wonder why I feel absolutely drained and sick and desperately hopeless for humanity.

If you want to know what someone thinks about something, ask them. That's what Losty did when she asked you if hated ugly couples - she was asking a question about something you posted about and in response you blew her off , got angry at her and then started unnecessarily calling her names that, if you knew her but a little, you would know completely miss the mark.

I wanted to be your friend, but that's obviously not how human beings work.

I do not become friends with people simply because they want to be my friend, just like I don't automatically respect someone simply because they think they deserve it.

To me, things like respect and friendship are earned, not simply tossed out by the fistful like candies at a parade. You can still earn my respect and my friendship, but not if you keep on the track you're on.

Here you go again, with your elaborate fucking ritual. She was asking me a loaded question, when she asked me if I hate ugly couples. I am smart enough to decipher that she doesn't respect me, so much that she actually would be willing to toss my feelings into the mud, and coddle someone else's. You don't see that as a little bit suspicious? She used her confirmation bias to decipher that I somehow dislike fat couples, which I never actually said. It's inconsistent with what I said anyways, there's no way she could have inferred that. She is what I could very simply call a snarky person. I blew her off because I saw fit to not answer her absurd question, your case is fucking nothing, air, it was never even there, it's fucking dissipated. It really is fascinating trying to unravel the ritual of your behavior.

Wrong, I don't believe you're disrespecting me. I believe I have watched people give you kind advice (in your relationship thread) and you attacked them.

I don't wonder why. Look around and see the common denominator. Be nice to people and they'll be nice to you. It's not that hard. Why do you think I should be nice to you? Probably for the same reason I think you should be nice to empress and thump. But you haven't been nice to people. Why don't you hold yourself to the same standards?

I'm not being mean to you, I am just trying to give you friendly advice. Be nice to people and they'll be nice to you. Give respect to get respect.

Would you say you're an Ubermensch?

Nope. That's pretty funny though. The game never ends apparently. It's funny to me how you haven't even noticed yet. I wonder if you'll get tired of the game too some day.

I fucking told you, I didn't mean to come off as mean to thumpalumpacus, I also believe that if you dish out some shit, then you get it back to you. It doesn't fucking last forever though, you're the one who fucking insists on holding a grudge. I am a person who doesn't really care about something someone did in the past, if you want to start respecting me then I will be cool with you. So you can either take it or leave it because I am sick of trying to suck up to you.

Also, Ludwig, I said I operate differently, not better. You're the one who made that condescending inference.

I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. What game?
