Personality: That Flat Out MEAN Person

Personality: That Flat Out MEAN Person

            Yes I know, how cliché could I be by starting off my first personality rant by talking about THAT person? But I feel like this is of utter importance for you guys to understand how I feel about these people and basically how the rest of the world feels about them too. WE DON’T LIKE YOU!!!!! WHY DO YOU EVEN EXIST????

            Okay now that my harsh feelings are out of the way I’m going to talk some reason with you people. First off, in a high school experience (or any time really it doesn’t have to be that specific) have you ever walked down a hallway and genuinely be pleased with all the people you see? But then, that one person, that person that you wished was never born, or hit by a meteorite, or eaten by a dinosaur, or thrown off Niagara Falls, or beaten to a pulp by the football team, or given the worst purple nurple in the entire history of purple nurples, or burned in a vat of acid, given a shower for a short time (just to give them some sense of reassurance) and then dowse all their hopes with more acid, walks down from the other end of the hallway? I can only imagine all the other things you guys would want to do to that one person, and believe me, I share those feelings with you all completely. However, I’m going to give you guys some personal insight by telling you a story of one specific person in my life that is the very definition of a gigantic asshole.

            So this guy/girl that all of you have in your life, they are probably popular or tall or feel as if they have some huge power over you am I right? Well that is not exactly the case for me. The guy that is mean to me is actually the opposite of all that. He is kinda nerdy, video game geek, and has Asperger’s. Now most of you are probably thinking: “aw not cool man he probably doesn’t know any better! Why you gotta be like that dawg!?” Or some variation of the sort. Well I’m here to tell you that in most cases of bad Asperger’s, you would be right, however, in his case, he has Asperger’s to the point where it does affect his everyday life, but he still has most awareness as to what he is saying/doing, just with no honest regard to what it would cause in the future. So in my encounters with this guy, it wasn’t that he was physically harming me, but rather, spreading rumors about me that weren’t even remotely true. Yes, I was involved in the forever hated rumor mill of high school. How I hate that thing and wish it would burn in a searing fire. Anyways, that wasn’t the part that bothered me the most however, what bothered me the most was what he would do, after all those rumors were spread, he would be mean to my face, then ask for favors a couple hours later, such as give him a ride home. WHO THE HELL DESERVES A RIDE HOME AFTER HE SPREADS A RUMOR THAT YOU STARE AT GIRLS LEGS LIKE A CREEP ALL DAY? YOU CAN WALK FOR ALL I CARE BUDDY! Also what kind of a rumor is that anyways? Girl’s legs are hot. But I don’t stare at them. The problem was no girl would talk to me in a casual conversation until the rumor went away! Which I have an issue with since girls are great conversationalists and quite frankly more interesting to listen to. This went on for a few months until finally I decided I had had enough. I called him out on his lie and told everyone an embarrassing secret about him that I learned over the summer. Bad. Idea. I made the dude not want to come to school for a week because he was embarrassed. Now I didn’t get in trouble, but it wasn’t the greatest idea I’ve ever had, because I felt so incredibly guilty afterwards

            The message I want to let you guys know is, don’t be that person. I know sometimes you get self-conscious about yourself and sometimes you choose to put others down to make yourself feel better. I’m here to tell you, that that is wrong. Its beyond cowardly and its rude and no one would think any better of you if they saw you do that. These people need a sense of relief to themselves and want to feel important. Instead of raising themselves up, they bring others down, which is not a good environment to be in. Instead, don’t be a bystander in any bullying/ rude behavior (Like most of my friends were in my case) and do something about it. Make it stop. Be the voice of reason. Let them know that what they are doing is wrong. Don’t do what I did and act out in aggression, be peaceful and serene about your actions with no intended violence. It makes everything so much better I promise you.

            Don’t be that mean person. Plain and simple. Thanks!
