What I wanted to… talk about, I guess, or ask you all, today is… am I really that scary? Or maybe I’m just more direct than everyone else?
You see, in a short period of time, two very similar incidents have happened. In both cases I believed to be behaving okay, to be well within the unwritten lines of proper behaviour. Only to get called out for my actions.
And no, not called out directly, but finding out through others, or by an accidental quirk, that someone has a huge problem with my actions. Twice in a row people prefer trashing me behind my back, criticizing my words or my actions, without letting me know.
How ’bout you come to me and say “hey, is [imagined problem that's getting their panties in a twist] really how you meant it? ‘Cause that what it felt like to me”? How ’bout letting me know you have a problem with me? How ’bout stopping to talk crap about me behind my back while pretending to be all holier-than-thou political correctness yourself? How ’bout it?
I prefer to know. Funny me, but I do. So just grow up and talk up.
(oh, and if you do know someone’s badmouthing me behind my back, please tell me. I have no problems with people not liking me. As long as I know about it.)
