Things I Hate

[GeneralZodLives]

Meh, I don't have any kids and I'm doing just fine--never felt like I'm missing out on anything or that I have a hole in myself somewhere without due to not having them. On that note, I'll tell you what I do hate: parents that expect everything to be changed for their kids instead of doing any parenting. Movies and books don't need to be censored, restaurants should be able to tell you to leave if you can't control your kid (same thing with planes and movie theaters), teachers not being able to do their jobs because parents expect the school to raise them, etc., etc.

Well, as humans, we're social creatures. Some of us require less socializing, others require more of it. But, I think how you develop in your need for social interactions, depends a lot with your upbringing (whether you had friends to play with), your circumstances at a given time, and other external factors that come into play. You also can't rule out mental illnesses such as depression and bipolar disorder which can lead a person into isolation.

Yeah, there are a lot of confident loners who don't give a s*** about anything, or anyone. But, it's usually the case that they didn't willfully choose isolation, either. The cool, silent people always have interesting stories to tell, about how someone broke them or let them down, and they decided to become stronger and go their own way.

I think people have become so superficial that most interactions are fake and a waste of time and energy. I keep close the people that are true to me no matter what--which is generally only going to be a rare few--and don't bother with the ones that aren't.

I think what he meant was is to not expect outsiders to get or do those things for you. So many people do that.

I don't agree with his life lesson, sounds very close minded, depressing, shunted and limiting.

I'm inspired by complete strangers every day that make me better, stronger and richer.

If a complete stranger inspires me to do those things than obviously i'm much more open to the world than just being a grumpy nothing person.

Nothing, how depressing that sounds.

I don't need anybody....good for you now volunteer for a mission to Mars to see how far you'll get not needing nothing from anyone lol.

Yeah, superficial relationships are the worst. Granted, you need to put the time and effort into friendships for them to work. I'm very patient by nature, but whenever I'm trying harder than the other person, I usually cut them loose for my own peace of mind. And there were a few like that when I was in college.

Well, with all due respect to Pliss and Ween, I think Musashi was referring to tapping into your inner potential for self-improvement and success . It's definitely not a quote about advocating lonerdom.

I was aware of that, but I think it could be interpreted in a few ways. My reason for posting it was how people need others around them to get ahead or to just have a sense of normality, and I feel you shouldn't have to lean on anyone to get your way. Friends can be overrated and they aren't essential. Then it turned into a parenting seminar.

Hard to encounter people that inspire. Most are users and indifferent. One of his neighbors are indifferent who rent their house and doesn't even shovel the snow off their sidewalk. The other neighbor is entitled who think Mr. Green have to sell his vehicle to them. And think he can push religious crap on him. Some of his mother's friend are just users are well.
Yea, Mr. Green is perfectly happy being alone. Never had such peace and freedom since.

I think jye needs to read more .

But, friendships can either help or hinder your path in life. The right friendships can build you up, but the wrong friends can bring you down. I think the best thing you can do, is find a self-actualization and assurance of who you are, and use that as a standard for judging your potential relationships going forward.

Sure everyone is different. We can only speak from self experience when it comes to that. I've found as others noted that friends at a distance on the internet can be much more suitable than face to face. I've had numerous chances to do things with friends growing up, and more often than not I didn't. I'm just not that person.

That's cool you found a process that works for you.

But for me I need my crows and Ween to enrich my life even more.

But nothing is nothing no matter how it's applied.

My inner potential has been greatly impacted in a positive manner from outside forces, not just of my own superior self sufficient self.

But hey if someone wants to live by his motto then more power to them not saying it's wrong either, just not for me.
