It frustrates and tires me that there are so many people out there who are so blinded by self-pity and weird sense of moral righteousness (where do they get it from?) that they don't have the quality of self-reflection. It's one thing to internalize negativity, but it's a whole other thing altogether to take a minute and think about your actions and take responsibility for them.
I'm sick of whiners who are always going on about how sad they are, how mean people are to them, how life dealt them a short stack. Well, there are ways of dealing with every negative situation. I guess that's the main thing that makes me a Heartless Bitch. I have little sympathy to waste on perfectly abled and intelligent people who seem to be stuck in a mode of self-pity and can't see outside themselves. There are so many women in this world who bemoan, for example, their singleness, and when you suggest that they do something about it (like take out a personal ad), FREAK OUT, as if the mere suggestion that they can be so desperate as to SEEK a mate is UTTERLY beneath them. These are the same people who think I'm a Heartless Bitch when I don't feel sorry for them for their lack of mates.
This is just one example, but COME ON! As much as our lives are influenced by random events and other people, there is a LARGE measure of control we, OURSELVES, can exert! I control my actions, my thoughts, my feelings, and their consequences. I can do something about a situation I am involved in. There is always self-determinism. Why can't people, the perpetual victims, get this in their heads!!
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
