I honestly don’t know why people are defensive about certain things.
Well, okay, that’s just silly, of course I know, it’s because they’re insecure with their insecurities and their more-than-a-hamster-running-in-a-wheel stupidity (minus the cuteness).
So I suppose the real question should be, why are people not willing to lower their stupidited-ness? Knowledge is something we all lack, whether it be in the things we ought to know, and most definitely in the things that we do not. So the most intelligented-ness thing one could and possibly should do is receive the enlightenment of a more well informed and experienced individual.
But I know people who, even when engaging in activities they profess to know nothing about, get extremely fidgety and tense and “leave me alone” defensive when you begin to advise them on the process. A word of advice. Don’t. There are many reasons why, but most obvious of all is that YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ANYWAY, so refusing words of advice or instructions in how to do something just makes you look more dense and hamster-in-a-wheelish than I already think (and now know) you are.
Well sure, there’s always the defense of ‘I want to try myself’ or ‘I won’t learn if you keep telling me what to do’, but seriously, in this day and age, who the hell has the time. Your waste of time is my waste of time, and time is money and generally all things fun that I want to do.
What really takes the cake and all the whipped cream and cherries on top for me, is that these types of people inevitably begin to complain about the time spent doing the things they refused advice on. Or, they just complain about how the way they’re doing it doesn’t seem to work properly, or they are suffering, or some other similar infantile monologue.
Why? Why? Why?
The hamster need another wheel to run on… a simpler wheel.
Hope you’ve simmered down Joe.
Hey don’t get me started about stupid ‘hamster-like’ people…I had a health supplement salesgirl pointing out to me that the vitamins are chewable when it says ‘CHEWABLE VITAMINS’on the bottle…albeit they are not explaining rocket science but….arrgh, why did I even go near her range…
and breathe…
It really does take all types…
hehehe… empathy is a wonderful thing :)
