Hi Steemians!
First of all, this is not for my lovely followers who are already loving me for what I am - you know who you guys are, no need to mention.😘
I've been getting comments here and there, mostly from new members, and of course, from people (plural) who will just attack my ideas/me suddenly, or after a long time of not commenting. This is expected because tadaaaaaa - this is the internet.
Since this is the internet and I cannot talk to these people personally, there's nothing much I can do but just reply (can be sassy at times), downvote (which I only did recently and I feel 😈) or the best thing - ignore. Most of the time, I can't do the last one because, awwww I get hurt too. Sorry for that, I guess I have nothing to prove to anyone, there! 😎
I do understand that my posts might sting a bit, hence the attacks, trolls and other types of defense mechanisms. I don't know everyone and you don't know me, which means nothing personal. However, people get hurt. Ouch, I didn't mean to have an effect on you and I don't want to feel proud about it too. Don't even think I write about anyone in particular, geez.
Imagine you see a girl for the first time, walking. You see her face, the way she dresses, the way she walks but that is just about it. You have a glimpse of her and nothing more. Then you suddenly approach her telling her what to do in life, about success and all that. Uhmmm, excuse me?
Everyone has an opinion but not everyone has a clue.
You see, some of you might not even be really reading what I write. Some might be just scanning my articles, who knows? So get it, people don't have a clue. Unless you fly to me and we can spend some weeks together, but even that would not be enough. So maybe years?
There's also one thing I don't easily give, especially to those who beg me for it - attention. Sorry, I'm not being snobby, but it is just that a lot of people will do anything for attention these days.
Stop here, stop scanning and read - this is the internet and everyone has an opinion. Yes, I get you, so feel free to comment yours. But, don't expect me to behave according to your expectations or your illusion just as I don't expect you to behave according to mine. The nature of humans being conditional - which means if someone stops behaving/writing the way you want that person to, you just dislike that human.
Don't burn me yet, I really care. I really do.
I labeled myself above (profile) just to set some expectations of the type of dysfunctional articles you are following because I still do not want to disappont everyone. Some people matter to me. Oh yes, I hate labels, but I guess, I am just like everyone - not perfect. Surprise! I'm sorry to disappoint you. I guess I am evil after all, so 😈 come here and burn me.
Being open-minded does not mean you are opening yourself to all ideas - like to everything (is there even such a thing?), otherwise, your brain will become a bin, you know? Mixed with all that rubbish and other shit, so good thing, you are free to welcome anything that will work for you and reject ideas that are not true to your life. FREEDOM.
Perhaps, if I am really so bad, people can stop upvoting and just downvote me. It has been like 4 months and that is not the case yet.
However, here on Steemit, I am extremely nice (I hope) to my few loyal followers here who have been commenting and giving me positive vibes, not preaching about anything, disagreeing (why even upvote?), not attacking me, or imposing their beliefs. I am more understanding with their opinions because I have read their life stories.
So, if you are to tell me what to do in my own life or preach me about society, labels or success - make sure you have a high reputation score, success stories, books you've written, your life stories or a high investment (proof of financial success). Any proof that will make me slightly consider your opinion because honestly there's a lot these days, so confusing.
Deeds not words count.
I hope that I have nothing to explain anymore, so just read my life stories 😊 . Thanks!
