Regardless of how DEEP I get into the research, investigation, studies and application of higher learning principles, I’m still a hard-edged REALIST at heart.
That means… in spite of how evolved, on the path or conscious someone thinks they are (Yours truly included), it doesn’t excuse them from being called out on how stupid they are, either.
I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that some people, even if they say otherwise (or insinuate by what they “do” — i.e., read self-growth books, listen to podcasts, attend seminars, etc.), just ain’t comfortable with themselves.
Heck, we’re all familiar with the kind of personality who loves to be miserable — ya know, the person who constantly gets in their own way, majors in minor things, and wallows in self-pity.
But what about that “other” kind that is never too far away from the spotlight switch?
They’re easy to spot if you see them for what they are (attention seekers). But, oftentimes, they do indeed come disguised under the veil of a) having a bad case of victim-itis or b) unaccountable incompetence.
Of course, when it comes to a), the common example we seasoned online publishers (sans the ‘Marketer’ label) shake our heads at, and blow off steam through BIG belly laughs at, is this one:
“Stop spamming me. I don’t know how you got my email,” or “Unsubscribe me now, or I’ll _____” (usually some misguided threat of telling our ISP or domain provider how bad we are).
But, in both cases, you can easily see how they bleed into b) unaccountable incompetence.
So, what ta do, what ta do, what ta do ? :)….
