People who always criticize other people for how they look or how they act. Once you criticize them they feel attacked. Basically people who can talk crap but not take it.

This is the worst. There's this girl where I work who always tells me how I'm the slowest guy she works with. The other day she was going on about it and I told her I'd heard a couple people talking about how she was the slowest like an hour before our conversation so maybe she should just stop talking about it before it comes back to haunt her.

It took her less than 20 minutes to report me to the manager...

Meh. In my book you get a pass until You're in your early 20s. It's annoying but often this stuff fades as soon as you're out of school/that age group. There's a shit ton of maturing and changing during that time no wonder we all seek approval. If youre doing this in your mid 20s, though, I'll be forever tempted to agree with you publicly. I might not do it but the look of "why would you say such a thing!?" Would be momentarily funny.

after an awkward situation with someone, i totally ignore them now even though we're working together in a group

P.S: its my own insecurity that i think some can relate

[–]chowbricky 181ポイント182ポイント  (19子コメント)

Hey! Awkward situations are awesome if you approach them right. Think about what it is, it's a moment that no one really knows how to respond or react. It's a break from the normal rhythm or pace of the conversation that throws everybody off and makes the next moments unknown to everyone. That's where the insecurity comes in... for most everyone.

But! What a great time to innovate!

At that moment, direction is needed. Whether or not it was your actions or someone else that created the gap, be prepared and jump in with something... practically anything will work because no one really knows exactly what to do anyway.

Compliment someone on a recent achievement. Find a positive or fun retort for an early part of the conversation. Ask someone their favorite sport. Throw a curve-ball out there and watch how people scramble to catch it. They'll appreciate the "awkward out"

Pretty soon, you won't feel the "awkwardness" in an otherwise awkward situation because you'll know exactly how to handle it.

Then maybe no more ignoring?

[–]openupmyheartagain 1202ポイント1203ポイント  (81子コメント)

That and constantly cutting you off to do it. Like they didn't listen to shit you said because they're too busy thinking about what they're going to say and it's so important that they have to cut you off to be the center of attention. Had an ex that used to do this..

Me: "I'm tired because-". Him: "You don't even KNOW tired! I work two jobs blah blah blah." Yup not only was he a talk overer, he was also a cut offer and a one upper. They'll never find the body.

"You don't know" and "You don't understand" are two overused bits of hyperbole that I've grown to hate. If you come at me with that, you better have something I couldn't possibly empathize with. Because otherwise you are just invalidating me completely.

[–]TriceraScotts 2261ポイント2262ポイント  (105子コメント)

When I was in college I lived with two other guys. When we went to parties, one of my roommates, let's call him Steve and I would wait until the other roommate, Travis, would start talking to a girl. Steve and I would then stand next to Travis and loudly discuss his accomplishments. A few of my favorites:

  • Did you hear that Travis recently broke the landspeed record on a motorcycle? He wasn't even wearing a helmet!
  • Oh man, I heard Travis recently rescued an entire busload of puppies from drowning in a river

  • I can't believe that Travis donated one of his kidneys to save that orphan. What an incredibly thoughtful and selfless man.

Needless to say he was rarely successful with any of these women.

[–]mikdavi84 712ポイント713ポイント  (77子コメント)

Yeah with my buddies its usually a back and forth sort of thing where we would talk each other up about good and bad things, but always entertaining and generally ridiculous.

Works pretty well for getting chicks back to your place too. After talking all that outlandish bullshit about the time he took out a russian satellite by door-gunning out of the space shuttle, we'd be like "Hey Jim has to go home and feed his rescue kitten and polish his little league trophies, we got some wine there, ya'll coming?"

[–]bokchoykn 2410ポイント2411ポイント x3 (149子コメント)

Off topic but...

One thing I've never really understood: Why are people so eager to hate those who are insecure?

I mean, when someone is physically disabled, or mentally handicapped, or socially awkward, (good) people want to show them compassion and fend for them, and that's great when people do that.

When someone is insecure, people are just like "Oh, no wonder he's such a dick" or "Oh, no wonder they <insert any of the top comments here>."

Insecure people don't want to be insecure. Not any more than a handicapped person wants to be handicapped. They can't help being insecure. They probably hate their insecurities just as much as everyone else does. They hate when their insecurities manifest in ways that make other people dislike them.

So why do people's insecurities only deserve hatred and disgust? While physical/mental/social handicaps deserve compassion and empathy?

It bothers me when people say things like "Fuck that guy. He only behaves that way because he's an insecure little bitch." Why "fuck that guy"? I feel sorry for that guy, especially if he doesn't realize how he's behaving or why he's behaving that way. In a way, he's in a handicapped too... It's just in a way that nobody has compassion for.

I don't get it and it bothers me. Maybe it's just me being insecure about being insecure.

[–]irrelevant85 760ポイント761ポイント  (34子コメント)

Your comment is a thoughtful change of pace in this thread, and I appreciate your perspective.

I disagree with you on this, though:

Insecure people don't want to be insecure. Not any more than a handicapped person wants to be handicapped. They can't help being insecure. They probably hate their insecurities just as much as everyone else does. They hate when their insecurities manifest in ways that make other people dislike them.

I think people who are aware of their insecurities feel the way you described, and those are the people who are actively involved in self-improvement and growth.

Unfortunately most of us (I'd venture to say all of us) are blind to at least one insecurity, some tic or quirk that other people see, something that we don't notice about ourselves.

And in our current culture (from a US perspective), we're perpetuating this idea that "being yourself" is the most important thing, without teaching self-development or even cognizance.

So we end up with guys with truck nuts.

I'm not sure what my point even was. Thanks for listening.

[–]bokchoykn 132ポイント133ポイント  (20子コメント)

Nah, that's a good point and I'm glad you brought that up.

Personally, I believe there's not a single person who does not want to better themselves as a person.

Maybe some don't realize it or don't know how. Some have weaknesses that they either don't think they have or maybe their insecurity and psychological defense mechanisms that fool them into thinking they DON'T have that weakness and that they're NOT insecure. Maybe they lack the ability to be self-aware.

I don't want to sound like I'm making excuses for people who don't take the steps to improve themselves. I also don't want to sound self-righteous or like I'm shaming people who are participating in this thread. I went down the list and laughed or smh at all the top comments, just like everyone else.

Self-improvement is achieved by making the right choices. So criticize people for making the wrong choices, not for being insecure. Everyone is on a road to self-improvement, but for those with deep insecurities, the road is long and windy. I'm just sympathetic because I've been down that road for as long as I can remember. You know people who make others feel like shit so they feel less like shit? I've often been that guy and lost friends because of it.

This convo is probably way deeper and philosophical than this thread intended lol.

[–]irrelevant85 48ポイント49ポイント  (12子コメント)

I don't think you're shaming or making excuses for anybody. You asked a legitimate question - why are we (humans, redditors, whatever) so comfortable calling other people out on what we think are their shortcomings?

Self-improvement is achieved by making the right choices. So criticize people for making the wrong choices, not for being insecure. Everyone is on a road to self-improvement, but for those with deep insecurities, the road is long and windy.

Amen. I will make an effort throughout this week to approach my "problem child" at work with the mindset that she is just at a different mile marker on this long and windy road.

[–]Sadistictoastie 4640ポイント4641ポイント  (157子コメント)

One of my favourite pictures is a bunch of girls post a picture of them (in bikinis i think, or at least very skimpy clothing) doing something like this. And a bunch of guys start posting comments talking about the cars in the background, then a small discussion starts about the cars.

The girl then proceeds to post "Excuse me?" and it's so funny to watch her fury at being completely ignored.

I worked with a 18 yo girl like this, but she was always talking about how fat and ugly she was, no guy would want to date her, etc. Ignoring her didn't work. It stopped when someone told her she's single because guys don't like girls who are high maintance and fish for compliments.

Edit: she didn't use Tumblr, but she was really into MLP and deviantArt.

People who post a lot about how great their life is going on facebook.

[–]kraliz 3894ポイント3895ポイント  (721子コメント)

People that can't be single for any amount of time. The type that get out of a serious relationship after 10+ years and are dating someone else within weeks... or days. Those are the types of people that advertise just how insecure they are about themselves.

Edit: Just to clarify I'm not saying everyone that does this is insecure. That's just what I see. A good friend of mine has either been in a relationship or activley seeking one since I first met him when we were kids. If he goes more than a week without having the title of boyfriend he becomes severely depressed and thinks that his life is over. He is very insecure about himself and is one of the only people that I know personally who always has to be with someone. So now I associate this behavior with insecurity. Obviously it doesn't apply to everyone!

I've been single for about a year after five and a half years. While I wish I had someone I could talk to about all the crazy shit in my head, the random thoughts and scenarios I run through my head pretty much non-stop again, it's pretty nice not having to check my plans with anyone. I do miss having someone sleeping by me during some (rare) rough nights, but overall it's pretty cool.

[–]YourWizardPenPal 164ポイント165ポイント  (14子コメント)

Wow, I kinda feel you on the random nights thing. I just want someone to comfort me sometimes. Other than those, I'm far happier not to have someone to slow me down. That might speak to the quality of my past relationships though. I just don't think I like it.

[–]Mohumasta 93ポイント94ポイント  (32子コメント)

I agree but I can't figure how people bounce from relationship to relationship. Usually when I become single it's usually 2 or more months (usually a lot longer) before I stumble upon somebody I'm interested again.

[–]jeni_cote 127ポイント128ポイント  (5子コメント)

Sometimes people will stay in a relationship even if it's not worth it, because they're so used to the comfort zone they're in. Until they see something they think is truly worth it, then they'll switch. The relationship was dead long before they broke up and then got together with the new person.

I have a friend who will, every once in a while, post some shit on FB about how all her friends are getting/have boyfriends, and she can't find one....

A couple of weeks ago, I ran into her at the bar, and she told me about one guy she had been dating, who had 7 Facebook pages (mostly male), and a side gig stealing credit card numbers.

At this point, I felt compelled to ask her, "*****, if you took some time off from dating and worked on yourself, you'd eventually find a guy that's not a fucking parasite and a liar, don't you think?"

Her response: "I don't need to do that, I've got GREAT taste in guys! What are you talking about?" Luckily another friend popped up to give me the chance to disengage from that shit show.

TLDR: Whining about not having long term relationships while dating really shitty people

Too little courage and you'll regret being a bystander.

Just the right amount and you're a hero.

Don't go for the low hanging fruit: the people who cut you off in traffic, bump you in the street, or don't hold the elevator. People can be dicks, just be thankful that was your one interaction for the day. You'll probably never have to deal with them again.

Always talking about how you'll beat the shit out of some kid that's pissing you off. It's always someone at least 2 years younger than us, never the same or bigger than him, and let's be real dude, you've never been in a fight and you'll likely never be in one. Stop saying your gonna beat up kids when we both know that'll never happen.

OK, I have to tell a story here.

My friend lost his virginity in high school to a girl I didn't know (another friend's cousin). It didn't work out, at all, but he NEVER let us forget that he lost his virginity, and we hadn't. "I can't believe it was six months yesterday since I last had sex." "Well, you would think that, since you've never had sex." All the fucking time.

Turns out it was all one big fucking lie. He went out with this girl a few times and maybe made out with her, but they never got close to sex. Think about that for a second. If you're an insecure high schooler and you pretend you've done it, fine. Lame, but I get it. But what kind of fucked up person constructs this whole scenario with specific dates and circumstances and then remembers it all so he can mock other people for it, even months later? Living a total lie, to your best friends, for months, for no real reason other than pretending to be less insecure. My god.

Karma, of course, got him. He was my literal and figurative debate partner in high school, and always told me (among other ideals) how the only moral position on abortion is being pro-life. You can see where this is going: turns out he was only pro-life up to the point where he actually lost his virginity, in college, and managed to get a girl pregnant his very first time. They're now married. She looks exactly like his mother.

Teenage boys arguing over the strength of their country's militaries. Chinese and Russians in particular.

When manly men on reddit talk about how manly they are. "I'm a manly man with a beard who chops wood and eats rare steak with whiskey but this made me cry a single manly tear."

EDIT: Because so many people are misunderstanding me, let me explain: there's nothing wrong with beards, steak of any kind, whiskey, or chopping wood. If you like those things, good on you, do what makes you happy. My problem is with guys who feel the need to broadcast it when it wasn't relevant in an attempt to sound cool.

Yeah I never thought about them being insecure before, but I hate that shit.

Just saw on Facebook a drunk driver killed a teenager and one of the comments was "As a military vet, if I drink I don't drive. I guess I just have higher standards." X400 likes. Like shut up. Why did you have to put the military vet thing in there?

Why did you have to put the military vet thing in there?

As a musclebound fitness enthusiast, I have no idea.

Whenever an attractive girl walks by, and the older women pre-emptively look at me to see how I'm reacting to her.

I can feel your dirty look. And it isn't making you look any prettier.

Guy with a shirt on in a pool.

Maybe he has a rocking bod but doesn't want other people in the pool get insecure

That's the problem I have.

Well with those nipples, you really can't be too safe. Plus, a sunburn would wreak havoc.

When I was in college, I read a short story (or maybe a poem?) about a man who was hiking in the desert in the SW U.S., and hours into his hike, he realized he didn't put his dick away after his last piss and his pecker was sunburned. It was a beautiful metaphor for the fragility of life or some bullshit. Does anyone know what this was? I can't find it Googling "story sunburned dick".

Once we get in the pool, we aren't getting back out until nobody's looking.

Ugh, I can relate to this so much, and was part of the reason I asked the question..

See, I was born missing the right forearm. And up until I was about 14-15 years old, I was freakishly anxious about what people thought about it. Confidence was an issue.

So whenever we where out on vacation in a tropical country, I would sprint in the water, and only try to get up when the least amount of people were around....

Now I'm 20 years old, and confidence is through the roof now. I get compliments all the time, and people don't even THINK about the fact that I'm missing a part of my body - perhaps because of the fact that I am so confident in myself now.

I see people all around me, and I wonder where other peoples insecurities come to the surface. This really hit home, haha.

You should have only sprinted out of the water after dousing your arm with ketchup, screaming SHARRRRRKKKKK!

[–]whenim30iwilllook20[S] 980ポイント981ポイント  (59子コメント)

Hahahaha!

See, when I was 15, I would've gotten mad and embarrassed by a joke like that..

Now, I actually do that sometimes when the opportunity arises, to fuck with someone, haha.

He's just being considerate. I'm sure you'd prefer to look at his awesome teenage mutant ninja turtles shirt instead of his giant hairy breasts (of which he was mercilessly taunted for until grade 11).

I speak from experience. And also from insecurity.

Maybe start with not calling yourself fatty_fatshits? I jest, the struggle prevails in my life also.

Fuck man, do you know the shit that's in the canals in Mexico? If you don't wear a shirt you could slip on a rock and cut your back. A shirt at least kind of warns you.
