I’m an easy going person so I usually focus on the positive side of things and try to create a “chill out” aura around me, and what I often do is let people know what are they doing good or make things seem better than they actually are in case someone I know is facing problems. This leads to me giving plenty of compliments to people, mostly because I know that it feels nice and because I’m pissed off for people tend to criticize things all the time and pick on meaningless shitty details. The confusion that arises here is that people tend to think that I suck up to them and that I’m trying to use them. This is less likely to happen when I’m advising someone but even then they might think that I’m trying to gain some points with them like I give a fuck about that. So basically instead of getting appreciation I get the feeling that people find me a hypocrite which obviously pisses me off.
And you can create plenty of analogies out of this too. Like, why is so hard to believe in the most obvious thing? Everyone is so doubtful all the time and the first example that comes to mind is the 2Pac conspiracy theories. I know that it’s a matter of little importance but the guy jumped on a gang member who doesn’t give a shit about killing somebody after which he sent people to smoke him out and that’s that. But no, it had to be the government right? Even though there is zero evidence for that, or is it that he’s alive and 350 people including doctors and police officers have been able to keep their mouth shut? Or let’s take religion as another example. Some ridiculous book about unrealistic things inspired by earlier mythology and made by people who couldn’t explain things and had an IQ of 13 is believable, while science with all the almost absolutely truthful evidence is less likely to be right? Sure, some things are unexplainable but the chances of the randomness of nature to have created life are much bigger than the chances of an existence of some magical creature with such abilities. But hey, you can believe in whatever the fuck you like, that is a whole other topic in which I don’t want to get into.
So anyway, this wasn’t addressed at anybody in here obviously, you guys are cool and all, just a subject I wanted to touch. As for the point of the thread, I guess I was wondering if any of you in here are facing the same “problem” or moreover, what’s your opinion on such situations?
