F.R.I.E.N.D.S are like this
Continued from the previous post: Don't use the P-words
Of course your friend does not think through all this before confidently prophesizing that everything is going to be “fine”. If you question their self-fulfilling prophecy, she (or he) will accuse you of being negative and pessimistic! They might also give you a half glass full of crappy optimistic shit to pep you up. In this scenario, your friend is just being politically correct!
When people (friends are people too) are not interested in your problems they tend say stuff like “be positive”, “don’t worry”, “everything’s going be fine” et cetera etc. and trust me, they say this only because they are not sincerely interested in your problems. It’s an open secret. We are all part of the hypocrisy. My friends do it to me and I do it to my friends. I am sure your friends do it all the time and so do you.
If you do not agree with my observation, I really hate to burst the bubble for you sweetheart (or random dude, if you are male) but the reality is that

Edit: Just adding to the above observations, I feel that people who are bad listeners tend to do this more than people who are good listeners... Its one of those after thoughts
Chapter three: Your F.R.I.E.N.D.S are like this!
Say you are going through a bad phase and you have a few problems in life. You pour out your problems to your trusted good friend and she (or he) nonchalantly reassures you, “Don’t worry, everything's going to be fine”? Have you ever wondered how your friend knows that it is going to be fine? What if it is never going to be fine? What if it gets worse and worse and worse for the rest of your life and then you die?Of course your friend does not think through all this before confidently prophesizing that everything is going to be “fine”.

bursting the bubble feels good sometimes |
Truth is bitterI know the whole theory is very depressing and hard to digest but “hey, be positive because everything’s going to be just fine”. :p :p :p.
Your friends are like that
People are selfish
Everything is getting worse
There is no such thing as a reasonable woman
All reality TV is staged
"Free and fair elections" is a joke
The system is rigged
Life’s not fair and
God doesn’t care

Dont use the P-words
Chapter one: The Offensive Poll
I ran into a poll by BBC which wanted to determine the list of ten most offensive words to use towards people with disabilities. Guess what is third on the list? Disabled! I understand opposition for words like "cripple" and "nigger" but if a person with disability is actually offended by the word disabled, I seriously wonder how he gets on with life as it is! If you are forced to describe a poor, blind, homeless man as an economically disadvantaged, visually challenged person with flexible residence, then something is seriously very wrong with the world!George Costanza, the differently haired, differently tall, gravitationally challenged, differently successful and differently quick witted friend of Jerry Seinfeld in Seinfeld |
Speaking of political correctness activists, who are they to decide what is correct and what is incorrect. How dare they even use the word “incorrect”? As an occasionally politically correct person, I demand that the word “politically incorrect” henceforth be replaced by the word “politically differently correct”!
Chapter two: The Ghosts of our Time
Don’t you see the conspiracy behind the whole political correctness movement? The corporations which control the mainstream media are slowly brainwashing the whole young generation into a culture of political correctness and tolerance so that in the future, they (the corporations) can get away with anything by using sweet politically correct words that blunt reality. So in the future, if we protest against them, they will call it a hate speech and if we don’t agree with them, they will brand us as intolerant.This way the international bankers who fund the corporations want to control the people with their linguistic fascist whip of political correctness! (I never realized that writing a Zeitgeist movie can be this easy!)
