I really do think that people think like this sometimes. That social norms, and the unsaid rules of life do not apply to them. And yet, they assume that the rest of us should comply by the rules, and stay inside the box - no pun intended. LOL. - Sorry, I made myself laugh with that, and that's have the battle, huh.
I sometimes feel my I.Q. falling when I read and/or participate in certain online chat forums, or message boards. Its like a train wreck; you see the horrific carnage, and you know someone isn't going to make it, yet somehow you keep looking. Even worse you see someone walking towards the danger, and its like a slwo-mo moment - you reach out slowly screaming "Nooooooo....." and yet they keep walking, like a moth to a strange blue light.
Do know of what I speak?
You know the ones. Those strangely enticing chat forums that are complied of other people with similar interests or lifestyles. They are strange little sisterhoods where other women are lulled into a false sense of camaraderie and then they are pounced on the moment they say something that is a little 'outside the box'. I said sisterhood, and women because I have interacted on almost all male chat forums - (car forums....nasty minded person! lol)- and they don't care enough to be mean, or oversensitive about something that doesn't affect them. Apparently only women have a uber - sensitive/ bitchy gene.
I have noticed very recently, i.e. today, that some people react with a bitchy attitude because the statement they are reacting to is true. Most people have a tendency to become defensive at things they know to be true, but are unwilling to admit to. I'm guilty of it, and so are you. But for some people they have to be right at all times, or the sky starts to fall, and the end of life as we know is over.
