I had a realization lately...
Because of my avoidant character and shyness, people really disrespect me. I was in denial about that for a long time, but I think people walk all over me...They're flagrantly inconsiderate, will make jokes at my expense without thinking twice and won't respect any commitment made to me (I *never* rely on people to do anything they promise anymore, which is good. It just happened to me yesterday and I wasn't at all surprised or upset).
I really wonder sometimes why I'm a nice guy...it is much more 'profitable' from a social perspective to be an a**hole. Sure that will put off some people, but it seems more worth it to me.
I'm sick of showing up on time to every meeting and picking up every single phone call/returning all texts/phone calls/emails I get, but people never bother do the same to me. I'm sick and tired of that. Being a polite, considerate person has gotten me nothing but disrespect from others. They think I'm some kind of desperate guilable punching bag.Fu*k everything about this social culture...if being a di*k is what people respect, so be it...
