Honestly, the thing about people like that is that they generally don't sit down and think about their actions and the way their actions have effected themselves and other people, otherwise they wouldn't still be acting like that.Fuck that, I want him to realize what he lost by continuing as normal, and taking my leave when it comes, all in a humble peaceful nature. He already lost. Plus, I still get paid. I still need that money.Well, sounds like a good time for an elaborate practical joke involving a high amount of bees.More like, "Nah. I don't feel like coming in to work today. What are you going to do, fire me?"
I was the ideal employee, all the way to the end. I was a dream. Did I really exist? Did he really just demolish his own blessing out of the sake of his own ego and greed? He'll tear himself apart by guilt, and maybe finally become a decent person in the long-run (equally a win for me). I prefer humbling him by making him realize just how much of an asshole they really were. And if that fails, there's always another employee to react differently from me. But the thought of me will haunt them.
EDIT:
Seriously, any negative reaction to my continuing kindness will only dig him deeper into eventual realization of just how much of an asshole he really is, and everyone can see it. I'm serving as a mirror for his soul, and he continues to avert his eyes.
This is an issue I tossed around a lot in my head for many, many years, mostly because of how manipulative my family was, which was something I didn't really understand to be abnormal for a long while.Christine Love just has the weirdest naming sense.I'm not sure I can agree with the idea that manipulation is bad, all social interaction is manipulation, it's just that it's mostly so normal and commonplace and integral to how people relate to one another that it isn't picked up as being manipulative.
I mean, I'm going to buy the game and enjoy it. I just don't think that's a reasonable point to make.
Hey, guess what, guys!Congrats dude.
I officially have a girlfriend!
I'm so happy.
Them otaku drones had it coming.Damn straight.
Reminds me of this video I saw at the Pocky panel.I'm not sure what's going on but it looks like solid science.That is the best video of an almost-naked Japanese man getting shot while in the bath I have seen all week.
Realistically deportation might have been a bit unlikely, but I've already gotten one mark from someone calling the police and making things up to get me arrested. When someone acts like they might be about to do something similar I get kind of scared. I've been told another misdemeanour means I get deported.Entirely human level hits the nail on the head.Yeesh, that would have been mega shitty. Not even on a "We're Internet frandz" level, but rather on an entirely human level. I'm glad you were not deported, Pnx.Well this has been a spectacularly shitty day, for a number of reasons I either don't want to talk about, or can't really talk about.Situation resolved, and it seems I'm not being deported, or any of the other incredibly unpleasant things that could have happened.
And in case this winds up being my last post, it's been fun you guys. You guys have seriously helped me deal with so much shit, and have done so much to help prevent me going insane from lack of talking to people.
I'm just sorry I haven't given back as much as I've gained.
Nice to see ya sticking around Pnx :>
Well then.*hugs* Trust me, there'll be other crushes, it may seem like the end of the world, but it's not.
The very last time I'll see my crush ever has passed, and I didn't even speak to her.
I wish I wasn't so fucking akward. Literally everyone else can just walk up to somebody and talk to them but I just can't. I don't talk to a bunch of people on the same time, I hardly ever send texts to anyone, I'm just a worthless socially inept retard.
I'll just go do what I always do and play games to forget all this BS while hoping that my grandparents don't try to talk to me (but I don't doubt that they will)
At least one person disagrees, but thank you for the sentiment.Well, that's good. We'd like to keep you around.Well this has been a spectacularly shitty day, for a number of reasons I either don't want to talk about, or can't really talk about.Situation resolved, and it seems I'm not being deported, or any of the other incredibly unpleasant things that could have happened.
