I refuse to do things for others just because *they* feel I
should. Taking time out of my busy day to help some ingrate further their
own cause isn't on my list of things to do, nor will it ever be.
A selfless attitude isn't something I'm personally familiar with. I
like having 'me' time, I like taking care of myself, and I like doing what *I*
want to do. If someone else happens to indirectly benefit from my actions,
great. If not, they can whine to someone who gives a shit, because I
don't. I do what I want, not what *you* want.
People who whine and Bitch about any predicament they currently happen to
be in usually get a good dose of my sarcasm. I simply don't have the
patience to listen to it. If someone is stupid enough to get themselves in a
bad situation (and, many people do, repeatedly), I'll be the last person who'll
sympathize, give them a shoulder to cry on or hand them a box of Kleenex.
I will, however, take the time to explain the correlation between stupidity,
their actions, and their current situation. If someone does something
utterly idiotic, I have no problem telling them they're a moron. The truth
might hurt, but it's still the truth.
Instead of drowning in my own puddle of pity, I'll pick myself up, learn
from my experiences, and keep moving ahead. I expect others to do the
same, since self-pity is just not constructive. Some see my attitude as
being 'Heartless', I see it as the only logical step. Life might suck at
times, but it's up to me to make the best of it, or change my situation. I
am the 'master of my own destiny', so to speak, and I am responsible for my own
happiness. I'm not sure why, but many people don't understand that
concept; they believe that it's someone else's responsibility to make them
happy, or that it's someone else's responsibility to 'fix' their life when
they've 'broken' it. If nothing else, they expect you to listen to them
blubber and sniffle relentlessly. I certainly don't expect anyone to fix
my own life, and it's not my nature to blubber and sniffle. I just don't
see the point. When I expound on this theory, many people give me a blank
look.
I am not a repairperson. I'm not sympathetic. I'm not a
'helper' type. If you put yourself in a bad situation, don't expect me to
get you out of it. I have no use for dependent people.
I refuse to be what other people expect me to be. I am who I am; if
you can't accept that, feel free to walk away and forget I exist (it certainly
won't break my heart if you choose to exercise that option).
I refuse to be someone's mother, maid, doormat, moving company, answering
service, babysitter, personal assistant, chef, chauffeur, therapist or
whore. If you're looking for any of the above, rent one, hire one, buy
one, or move back in with your parents. Don't call me.
I love the word 'no', and if I use it right after you've asked me for a
favor, don't expect me to justify myself to you. No means no. Deal
with it. I'm not obligated to give you a reason.
I have a brain and a mouth, and I'm not afraid to use either of them.
This intimidates some people (particularly men).
I favor logic over emotion. For some reason, people believe that the
fact that I'm female means that I should be an emotional creature. I'm
not. As a result, I've been called 'cold' or 'unfeeling'. I believe
there is a time and a place for emotional displays; I also believe that some
people use emotion as a crutch, or an excuse to act like a moron. I'm not
completely devoid of emotion; I simply prefer to rely on intelligence - using
your brain seems to accomplish more, and logic tends to not get you in as much
trouble.
I respect the fact that people have differing opinions. However, if
my opinion on a certain topic doesn't jive with yours, accept it. Don't
attempt to force your opinions on me and then expect me to respond politely - it
won't happen.
I hate kids - period. Just because one person thinks their brat is
wonderful, doesn't mean I do. Keep it away from me. (This point in itself
would put me in the 'Heartless Bitch' category according to most
people).
Do I qualify? :)
