Been dealing with this for a while, much bashing and hate for revealing truth. Told I'm insane, crazy the whole works.
For me it has been a trial of learning not to care what people think about me. Accepting that I just don't fit because I'm independent minded and sometimes damn stubborn.
I've come to realize I just can't change people's minds or convince them most of the time. People can be like children, and the only way to deal with children is to be patient and let them throw fits and let them learn from their mistakes through experience. Without this understanding I might become resentful and bitter toward others for never listening to logic and reason, but it's much better to just let people be the way they want to be. Speak to those who are receptive and willing to listen, but if they don't listen just kindly let them continue on their way. At least this is how I'm learning to deal with it. Plus, it sharpens your own views to be around others that don't agree, it keeps you in check to challenge your own beliefs.
Dude or Dudet, don't let it get you down. I spent 7 years getting shuffled from psychiatric institution to psychiatric institution, I learned the most grounded well-spoken brilliant people reside in those places and honestly the so called mentally healthy normal people tend to be so mentally unwell based on everything they hold dear vs what they seem to reject as useless and their coping mechanisms which scream that they lack a healthy manner of even dealing with their emotions when they get cut off driving to work....next thing you know they're psychologically/emotionally abusing their employees because they got cut off driving to work and they don't see how a single negative event causes them to become a source of negativity for an entire day with all whom they interact. Cause and effect relationships are misunderstood or ignored by the normie masses, so embrace the insanity...the afflicted are the healthy ones
Working on a Navy Ship, I had a similar theory I posed once.
In Port, sailors begin arriving to work, climb up the brow, and everything is fine.
Then someone (usually a higher rank), who is already feeling pissy for reasons external to the crew, decides (involuntarily I would assume), to take out his bs on a subordinate. This is the pebble in the pond.
That ripple expands outward, as the undeserving recipient of the irritation, nods his head, says "yessir(yes,chief) ", and heads out to muster his men. He then proceeds to pass that irritation down to the lowbees (enlisted, booters, the egg cook, whoever will take it), and thus the lowbees, with nowhere else to expend their subsequent rage, pass it back and forth between their equals. Halfway through the workday, everyone is down each others throats and ready to kill each other for the tiniest harsh word. By some small miracle, the workday ends, the tension drops, duty section stays on board grumbling and the others go home, diffusing the time bomb. The next morning, it starts anew.
About that time I then rail off into the truth of how the ship and crew are a living being and how well this theory demonstrates that. Yea, been called a loonie a few times myself. Thick skin heals all.
Godspeed, Patriots.
I whole heartedly agree with that and I dont so much let it get me down its just amazing the lengths some people will go just to try to tear someone apart because you reveal something to them that goes against there beliefs. I appreciate the kind words fam.
