Bitter people suck (rant)

You sound bitter.

I am not. Annoyed and pissed off? Yes. Bitter, nope.

I am happy it’s going to rain today

That's nice honey. Now get back out there and keep selling used cars.

It’s absolutely enraging. It’s like talking to a black hole where any sort of positivity gets sucked out. Surrounded by an echo chamber of people who never actually grew up is exhausting. They don’t have the mental maturity to view things appropriately.

Sounds like a summary of the OT.

Make a fricking conscious effort to have a healthy attitude though. Or be kind to the people around you and shut the frick up.

I will fire someone quickly for a shitty attitude. It is like a cancer and you have to deal with it. Otherwise it spreads.

I agree with you 100%.

cant say that man...they have mental health issues...didnt you know.

bad decisions can not have consequences anymore!!!

How long have you been a municipal court clerk?

A lot of people are hopelessly resentful and grievance oriented. I'm not talking about narcissists or true bad actors. I'm just talking about people who feel bad about themselves, project that onto the people around them, create tension and chaos, and then wonder why happy, optimistic people GTFO.

Look, my own mother is the absolute worst. Getting her to take personal responsibility for anything is impossible. It's just a circle of resentment, grievance, psychological projection, personal insults, emotional meltdowns. Rinse. Wash Repeat.

The truth is a lot of these people deserve to be alone and should be alone because they can't play nicely in the sandbox. They end up exactly where they have earned to end up. Your job is to remove them from your life to the extent that it is possible. You can still love them, but your responsibility is to yourself and your happiness.

i used to work with someone like this. she was the absolute worst to work with and no one wanted to even talk to her. worst part was she was sort of a gatekeeper for a portion of our work so everyone had to request things through her (not for her to approve but for her to put in motion). These were hourly interactions required. She and i once went months without verbally talking, i would only email her even though we sat within speaking distance and getting up and talking to her would have been much more efficient. Eventually our boss (that loved her) quit and the new boss wouldn't put up with her bs so she quit.

It may not seem like it, but a lot of people actually know how messed up they are deep down. They deflect, rationalize, and project as a means of coping with reality, to just get through the day.

For your own sake, may help to just show compassion and kindness, and don't try to fix these people with your advice. You may have some small positive effect on these people.
