If I've ever been perceived as a Heartless Bitch, it is most likely
because I'm not that interested in what most people have to say--and I'm
very bad at pretending that I am. Some examples: Conversations about
what is on television don't interest me at all; I don't watch it myself,
and so I find myself unable to pay attention when people talk of it. I
am also not interested in conversations with people who complain about
how hard life is or how unfair things are without struggling to find
solutions to the problems; aimless complaining is boring and
unproductive to me. Finally, I do not like gossip, especially when
insights into the behavior of the person discussed are not provided or
that person's perspective is not considered. Unfortunately, these are
the predominant topics of discussion for many people of my acquaintance,
and I just can't pretend to care. Since this disinterest is, I'm afraid,
painfully obvious not only to me but to the talker(s), I may come across
as "uncaring" about "people" (them, that is)--a Heartless Bitch. I
suppose I truly am Heartless too, since I don't much care if they think
so.
I might be a Heartless Bitch because I don't feel a lot of pity for the
aforementioned aimless complainers, and again I can't pretend to; I
believe we all have our share of problems and we all have our pain, and
at the end of the day we ourselves are the only ones who can address
them--as we must. I get so annoyed at those who behave as though no one
else but they have ever had problems--how self-centered is that? I do
not feel such people ultimately contribute anything to society by being
too busy with themselves to do anything creative or wonderful but rather
suck it dry looking for emotional handouts. I just don't have time for
that.
I am probably a Heartless Bitch because I do not dissemble my feelings
about people--even to their faces sometimes. If I find someone's
behavior stupid or absurd or mean-spirited, I am unable to hide it,
which is perceived as most Bitchy. I will tend to point out to people
what I find upsetting (or at least roll my eyes at them). Some might
define that as being direct or honest, as long as it's not "directed" at
them.
I am most definitely a Heartless Bitch because if I want something, I
will just help myself to it; for example, I decided to become a
biologist, so I scraped and scrounged for money and worked and studied
and graduated and got into grad school and am now just about to earn my
PhD. I wanted a house, so I worked and begged and saved and scraped and
scrounged and searched and found (and bought!) a teeny little place by
the river. I have learned the power of not hearing "no" or "I can't."
Those words are death.
I think being a Heartless Bitch means that you actually think you have
the right to exist and live your life the way you want. Shouldn't we all
be Heartless Bitches?
