They don't get me down. I see it more as an opportunity. Can point in one direction, have them focus on that, while I'm doing something else.
You were approached by one, by the way. Low rep account handing out, reading material. Awkward and antisocial.
Since it's an ongoing situation that's the best approach, I think. To trying to institute change, that is.
Oh? Do tell :) (know you can't)
I've had a trolly troll on here. I take it as it comes. People come and people go. Some stay. Some fall off. And so do I. They don't scare me or even bother me much these days and if the connection isn't a constructive, joyful exchange I allow it to wither or simply move on.
Some are worth fighting. Some are better ignored and abandoned. I guess it all depends on how much energy I have for the good fight (not much left these days after government f*cked me up) and how much valuable time is worth investing in other people's bullshit (not much left after... well... you get it)
I wouldn't call these trolls. They behave more like, livestock, maybe? Hard to describe without revealing much about what I know or how I know it. Just a type and a couple fit the profile so well, practically come with a user's manual. Can snap your fingers and they'll rat themselves out by putting on a performance. Cornered into a narrative so it doesn't give them much room to think.
Can't say it's ongoing. Moves in waves; follows patterns. Deflated, heads;ego starts building up when isolated, then it starts getting entertaining/dramatic, overconfidence and power trips galore, then they want to step out into the real world but everything is a shock, forgot to look both ways, get hit by a bus, back to deflated. It'll go on like that for years. Stuck in a loop and I'd say denial is what puts them there.
No getting through. It's way past that point. Trying to help is what made me a target. I'd still like to help but I only focus on it when it's in my vicinity. I'll reserve some energy for it but I got enough going on to keep me busy, and happy.
Well... life goes by fast. Like... fucking really fast.
Best to focus on what brings you joy. Unless something in your vicinity is messing with that. Yeah 👍
You know... the more I see things clearly the less I want to do with humanity really. It's not that I think I'm any better or anything. It's that humans seem to make a mess, complicate things and we think we're clever about it. Which makes things even more complicated and messy.
I prefer animals. I like humans and all (there are some really beautiful souls wandering around) and I want to help where I can. But really... more solitude is really far more simple and peaceful.
Too many people in survival mode and not thinking clearly these days. Dumb animals running on animal instinct. That's all we are, really. But more dangerous at times because animals are, at least, honest and direct!
If we remembered this perhaps things might improve... until then, give me a pack of wolves and a herd of horses to run with any day.
Also still deciding on how far to take the good fight with government. Because health. And time. And immovable systems. That will be filled with unethical humans again anyway. I mean... how far does one bother to go?
Yeah. I've made peace with myself and can tolerate keeping my distance. I'll talk to anyone but I don't attach myself or set myself up to depend on anyone. In life I can say a lot but prefer to watch, listen, and learn.
In general, yeah, there are a lot of dishonest people. Only a friend can stab you in the back.
I've had a rough life. Enjoyed this environment for several years; it removed me from a disaster. Didn't really need people coming along to make it hell, acting like demons, and claiming I'm the bad guy, after I had put so much energy into everything you see around me. All these good people. Discovering I can connect with and entertain people was something I needed to know after disconnecting for so long. There are good people. But the shitty people try to ruin that for everyone. Those types can't be fixed or change. Give an inch, they'll take a mile.
Lots of wisdom there. Thanks for taking the time to connect and talk. As always. I really appreciate it. 🙏
