HAD TO DO IT
14 years ago
Copied/Pasted from my LJ caus IT NEEDED TO BE SAID
Okay, so...this has been bugging me for awhile and I've managed to try and bite my tongue but I just feel I need to get it out and then perhaps it would alleviate me from anymore inner nerdrage when I come across another instance that makes me want to slap someone.
What exactly is the point of having a "public journal"? I understand the need to vent and possibly gain feedback on certain situations, but I mean those journals of people bitching, whining and otherwise complaining about their life and questionable choices/actions. They complain about something someone did, something they did to provoke a response, etc then get defensive when the backlash of negative responses floods in. If you don't want to be judged, don't put the information out there. If you're just looking for a bunch of yes men and women to pat your shoulder and tell you the world is wrong! Its all their fault and none of your own....talk to the mirror, baby.
Newton's Law said every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So whatever it is you are bitching about, you started even in its most innocent ,good intentioned, minute form.
People are judgmental, cruel and will wait for any excuse to cut you down. Even the people you trust the most , while telling you to your face you are right and everyone is wrong for thinking such things, are secretly telling their friends exactly what they think.
Popularity is a double edged sword. The more people seem to like you, the more people are waiting for the perfect way to drag you off the pedestal you cling so tightly to. Bottom line, keep your secrets secret. If you have a problem with your life, change it.. or don't, but hide it well. Passively stating something bothering you, doesn't "really" bother you just to save face and be strong in front of your fans..is redundant. It obviously bothered you enough to write about it so whatever that little annoyance trying to get a response out of you was, succeeded.
Ahh this did make me feel better :)
( Inb4 rumor mill starts , this is not about one person. This is something I see on FA A LOT. It gets old.)
