People on my Bad Side
It's no secret there are those on this earth that I don't hold in high regard. For whatever reason it may be, some people just rub me the wrong way. I used to keep a lot of this information to myself. I mean, if someone happened to piss me off, I would just look the other way and either a) forget about it, or b) use passive agressive tactics to 'get back at them.'
In the past few months however, I've noticed a trend: I bitch out loud about people I don't like. I'm not exactly sure if I should be doing this or not. I mean, it's not exactly polite to tell someone 'I don't like you as a person.' Right now there's a list of about 10 people to whom I've said that specific statement.
But something bothers me.
Is this really the right thing to do?
Part of me want so say yes. Telling someone upfront I dislike them as a person is the only way they will change. (Assuming I want them to change). I mean, what else is the point of insulting them if I don't want them to change. Insulting them is a form of constructive criticism. I wish to see change in this person, therefore I will attempt to change this person. This person will not improve by sugar coating the consequences of his words/actions.
The flip side of this argument is that I would make myself to appear as a huge bitch. I mean, there has to be some balance between just letting people piss me off and actually doing something about it so they do not piss me off anymore. I don't know, it's really atypical of me to actually bitch about other people. I mean, it's really hard not to see the good in almost everyone. But with a few people in particular I've found it easy not to see it.
I don't know, maybe I'm just being a bitch. I guess I've been bitching to everyone else in person, hence the lack of entries for the month of March.
