I just got in a bunch of stupid arguements with sean and dave today because I do things differently and sometimes i'm rude to people i don't know.
Should i be rude? No. Do i mean it? No.
While working out with dave and while i was in the middle of a deep conversation, a guy at the gym asked (not exactly politely) but asked how many more sets i was doing. Caught off guard and kind of annoyed- i replied 11 and kept on talking to dave, while dave tried to make up for rudeness by saying 1 or 2 more.
I finished my set and said "11" and we walked away. I tried to play it off as a joke, but i just came off like a completely jerk. So dave pulls me aside and tells me that was rude-which he was right, and thats not how it works here, you have to let people sit in if they ask. Which although it is a public place-i don't have to. If i can wait for them to be done, they can too. Thats what i said to dave who said thats gym courtesy just do it.
How about i'll do whatever the hell i want and whenever the next person asks to jump in, i'll say when i'll be done and not be so rude. But the topic got brought up again when i told dave we would use the situp machine when the guys behind us were done. The dudes behind us then " replied-ohhh we can move if you want." and began to get up and i said "no. Finish what you're doing and then we'll use it." Which broght the whole conversation up and dave frustrated stormed up and didn't let me try to work the issue out.
I told sean about this and no matter how realistic and honest i was about the situation it led to a discussion about how I act, how I snap at people, how i work out is not the right way, and how if someone wants to give me their opinion i should listen to it.
How i feel about this is so spread out over every category and judgement i don't even know what to think. All i know is that i'm mad that dave walked away from me without working out our issue. And that after telling sean this he can criticize how i act and offer me more of his opinions and "advice" that i really didn't ask for. I like dave he's a great guy and so is sean but i feel like that need to understand that i do things differently than most people.
Does that mean i shouldn't take their advice when i am acting out of control. No! Sometimes i go wild and my friends and family are there to keep me in place. Does that mean there is something wrong with me and i must conform to whatever bullshit gym system there is so i can do things the way someone thinks they are supposed to do something. Is the way i'm working out right now the wrong way? NO. f- that bull schlap. What i'm doing is working and when it stops i'll do something better. If i can freaking wait for somebody to get done with an excercise machine so can someone else-i'm sure they'll die if they don't know how many more reps or sets i'm doing.
Here's the bottom line:
I don't need anymore of you people that don't really know me to tell that i'm different or what other people are used to. Especially tell me what i should do so that other people will like me or won't get weirded out. I KNOW. I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO SAY ALREADY. I KNOW THAT. I lived my whole life and tried many different things. I know people don't get me here and there, i don't need anymore advice on how to act. I know how to be normal and i know how to be a completely 100% acepptable version of myself.
I KNOW HOW TO BE MYSELF AND BE SOCIAL AND APPROACHABLE ENOUGH TO HAVE POSTIVE HUMAN INTERACTION AND COMMUNICATION.
I could care less about how chapaqua girls are different and people here in chapaqua are different, people here don't get that humor and don't do that. There's normal people everywhere that aren't used to the shit i do on a daily basis. I get it. I've lived in several places and been in hundreds of different situations. I get it!
I'ma do me. And don't worry if i have a question and need advice i'll let you know. For everyone else that doesn't know me and think they can step into my life and tell me what to do-Fuck you.
peace. |
