I’m kind of a poster child for intimidating people. I was born 10 lbs and have always been big. 6’5 and I lift so... most people don’t even look me in the eye. But I’ve learned to kill them with kindness. It makes people REALLY paranoid. Have patience. Stand tall. Your physical posture can be useful. Don’t let people walk all over you but you don’t have to be abusive or crude to get a point across. Ask questions. Keep asking. Be nice and in the words of Patrick Swayze from Roadhouse “I want you to be nice.. until it’s time to not be nice.” One of the worst movies of all time but a marine corps fav. Always take the high road because those who don’t suffer from their mistakes eventually. How many times have we been chastised about masks or vax? Gas, rent and groceries too high? Socialism sucks, don’t it? Now they’re suffering the consequences and we can just sit back and see them scrambling. I hate to see human suffering but damn if I didn’t warn ya. And yet, I’ll still keep being kind because it wastes energy to be spiteful and mean.
Patience, calmness, kindness. Wait 3 seconds before you respond to a verbal altercation. Look them in the eyes and count to three in your head and speak very calmly. Have fun experimenting with that.
My mom had me and then when she had my sister, they knew she was going to also be big. They did a sonogram while she was at the hospital and estimated her to be between 12-14 pounds! They said it could break the hospital record. My mom laments how she was bawling, saying “I don’t want to break records!” But she didn’t. Same as me basically. I guess the sonograms are not an exact science.
Yep. Learnt that a long time ago when the neighbourhood kids teased me and ran away from me because I had red hair and freckles and couldn’t run fast. I’m thankful for that now. Their teasing, and what my parents taught me about how to deal with it, made me virtually impervious to peer pressure as I got older. Never fell in with the 70s drug culture or promiscuity. Found Jesus and gave my life to Him at age 13.
You described how I feel and why no matter how many meaningless downvotes I get, I will always speak my mind truthfully and without hesitation or fear of any kind.
I'm not a trendy asshole, I do what I want
I do what I feel like
I'm not a trendy asshole, I don't give a fuck
If it's good enough for you
'Cause I'm alive
I coached girls basketball at a high school. The AD hated me because I never followed the rules. I was a lay coach not a teacher. He wrote me up, tried to be little me I just smiled and his neck and ears got red.
Look internally to develop yourself. Don’t look externally. This is what we need to do and what we need to teach the new generation. Do you want to live the rest of your lives using the attention and acknowledgement of others who aren’t close to you and who don’t give a fuck about you? The current attention seeking and currency of validation from others needs to stop. Rise above, even higher, and break away from the herd and live the rest of your lives being your true selves. Without the influence of those who don’t matter.
Yep, I used to have a lot of friends I played golf with and now they avoid me like the plague. Even my family has given me the cold shoulder. I can hear them now calling me a crazy old so and so. I decided it was their loss and moved on.
Yup. Have a riding buddy who decided to go to FASCIST Canada a month ago. He was TOTALLY offended when I told him that he was tacitly supporting a FASCIST Regime. Fuck Him. He had no idea what I was telling him.
Though in his defense, he was enlisted - and I am an officer..... Bit of a difference there.... "No Offence." - Rodney Dangerfield
Are you implying that because he is enlisted he’s less than you are? The number one thing about a team is that all participants are important to the team and overall success. No team member is better than another- just different roles and responsibilities.
Except that's not how the real world works. Those people are the majority, and they will work to screw you over. What people think of you has a very direct connection to your quality of life.
I would say the opposite, be considerate of them. We were all asleep at some point. These are the people we are fighting to save in this war. Get over your narcissism that you want everyone to admire you or whatever. Fit in with their group. Give them a little bit of truth when they are ready. Don't be super offended that everyone is not on your level. Think of all the people much more awake than you and how they feel about you being asleep to most things.
The lion is not concerned with the opinions of the sheep. Some of us have been gifted the ability to reason beyond the methods of control and manipulation. We can thank God for that, and that is exactly why we are chosen for the task of informing the people.
At 4'11" it was weird to see how some folks reacted to me, not all, but some. Usually folks find me a little eccentric but funny, and kind, but every once in awhile, and this has happened all of my life, the energy in some interactions was profound. For no reason at all, my presence unsettled some, it was tangible, bordering on overt hostility. I know now that those encounters were my facing evil, that the people who were uncomfortable around me were those who harbored satanic influence. Can my Faith cast out demons? Dunno, but I can say for sure, the folks who were disturbed, just by my presence, no conversation needed, God was protecting me from. Archangel Michael has assisted me my whole life, he protects me. In my youth, I put myself in dangerous situations, I was a wild child who did not fit in, so I sought the company of good people in odd places, and usually found them. But coming up against the Devil, God took over those situations and they (legion) was repelled. I am not obnoxious in preaching, I would just be authentic, and that makes some people squirm. God assures me that is for my own good, and I thank him for his protection, no one can hurt me, he sends his angels as a force field around me. Atheists do not like my company, without a word mentioning religion, the evil in them must sense it. I am not unique, I am bathed in HIS Holy Spirit, that's all.
The more people are in need of salvation and deliverance, the stronger the reaction. I pray God will help me discern the spirits so I can pray more effectively.
My grandfather, who was a great man, had a list of rules that he lived by. The most important of these rules was, "Never think, nor allow yourself to be manipulated into thinking, that you're something special. This removes ego from everything that you do, and makes your life much, much easier."
He was absolutely right. I know that ALL ego cannot be removed, because, after all, we're human. I just suppressed the misguided side of ego, and it's worked for me.
Started doing that long ago. Never missed one day of work, unvaxxed, never will take the death jab, started making people uncomfortable long ago. Been told I was crazy, eldest son has disowned me, but I will never waver in my faith. Sad but it has to be this way.
I have three words for them. “Fuck you!”
Unvaxxed, untested, and willing to point out and laugh in the faces of these authoritarian clowns.

10 lbs! You weren't born, you walked out :)
Actually, 10.2
Yeah I was 10 lbs too. But some how have a 5'10 190lb frame.
I LOVE roadhouse lol! And I tell people all the time - I try to be nice - til it's time to not be nice.
Same. Roadhouse was a great movie
A favorite saying, can't remember where I heard it: "Violence is not the answer, unless it's the only answer."
My son was 10.4...An only child😂He's 6'5 now and a Great Son.

Are you sure not 10 oz?
Hello Undine. Been thinking of you this past week. Hope you are well.
I'm over the worst, thanks. Staying busy helps.

Hugs!

All things turn to the good :)
We've heard that about you...
You described how I feel and why no matter how many meaningless downvotes I get, I will always speak my mind truthfully and without hesitation or fear of any kind.
I think the down votes are a joke here lol
Good for you!
I'm weird AND damaged. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
This was basically my entire 12 years in public education
To quote Offspring:
I'm not a trendy asshole, I do what I want I do what I feel like I'm not a trendy asshole, I don't give a fuck If it's good enough for you 'Cause I'm alive

Very true. Sometimes you can see it in people's eyes, often they react nastily without cause.

You're not very good at this trolling thing, try harder.
And that is why I said...
As it has been said, a man is not an island. I still have a few true friends and they make life worth living.
They will try and suck your open mind into their small ones.

You think that way because you are afraid.

My whole life.
This is the thing that can unite people like anons and the super duper unique and special dyed and inked masses. Kewl. You go girls!
