A few years ago when I was going through all that depression crap, I was a LOT like this. And honestly, sometimes I still am. I mean, I try to be nice to people. I try to show consideration for others. But some things, honestly, I just refuse to do.
For example, if I'm making a harmless joke and someone gets seriously offended, depending on the topic I honestly won't joke around/talk to them anymore. If it's abstract (stereotypes relating to hair colour, ethnicity, etc.) then I joke about it all I want. I don't make too many jokes with things on a PERSONAL level, but you can bet your ass if I were offending a friend I'd stop/tone it down in a heartbeat.
But some people are too sensitive to things (and trust me, I AM sensitive.) but if someone's sensitivity is making them to the point of being a whiny bitch then they're obviously not the person I can joke around with.
Most of the time I'm making fun of my self than others. Self-depreciating humor is my specialty. I make fun of my race, my ethnicity, my appearance, my personality - everything. I'm not saying the fact that I make fun of myself gives me the right to have borderline-offensive jokes from time to time, but sometimes...ya know, I just have to say "no".
For example, on tumblr. I had nothing to do with this but I was watching. Some anon asked a blog owner to tag food posts because she's on a diet and she's afraid it'll trigger her. Look I know I'm going to sound like a huge bastard but if that person had asked me, I would have flat-out said no. I wouldn't have known the person (they were on anon), it's MY blog for MY personal use and I am not meant to cater to anybody. I just ugh. Call me an inconsiderate firetruck all you please, not helping how I feel.
I don't get upset by much. It takes something really obnoxious for me to even speak up about it. So essentially I try to be as respectful and as considerate as my personal being possibly can be and I treat everybody as EQUALS. Even if someone is just super sensitive (moreso than myself) I don't sugarcoat anything for anybody (being optimistic is different than sugar coating, btw) and I don't give anybody (except my cat) special treatment... That's why if I SERIOUSLY don't have anything nice to say or I don't like a person, I just avoid them like the plague. I don't start drama anymore, I'm not that self-centered jerk from a few years ago. I just keep it all under control and inside now o u ob
Sorry if this make y'all view me differently, but oh well. That's me.
