fuck people

I no longer care because it kind of hurts. I'm not really a pussy so I try to put it into perspective.

I'll stick to my online friends. Maybe actually volunteer at the soup kitchen instead of just talking about it.

Maybe its just how life balances things out? I've been so selfish for so long now maybe this is the universe's way of saying 'time to pay your dues'?

haha! It JUST happened again as I'm typing this! The phone rings, I hear 'Hey man, just calling to see how your doing... oh by the way... can you fix my computer?' these calls happen all the time from a bunch of people 'Hey! Just calling to say 'hi'... oh!... can I get a ride down the street?'

Don't call pretending you give a fuck. Just spit it the fuck out and get to the exact nature.

I dunno... fuck people, man. I thought I had more value than that. I'm just gonna focus on school and work and not bother getting close to anyone.

I know its not about me anymore but shit... don't fucking treat me like that.

Fuck it, man... I can be a fuckin' prick or I can be a somewhat okay person. All people make me feel like being is a prick anymore.

Who needs 'em?

 

i thought like this for a while and became a social recluse for a couple years. i would go to work, but otherwise i'd just stay home and talk to my bler friends online. as a result i burned too many bridges and it ended up being pretty damaging.

 

Maybe just take a step back for a bit but remember not to be become bitter about it.
I'm in one of those moods today too though. Tired of bs.
People can be extremely annoying.

 

Sorry guys... I was just REAL pissed off but after some sleep and a little thought, I'm alright. I just need to filter people in a certain way.

The final straw last night was that it has tended to be my sponsor calling me for things to help him out (or other people in NA with significant clean time).

My plan is to dig up my old Fee Schedule for when I did side work, adjust the prices so that they are cheaper than the local big chain stores and print and make copies of them. My dad has a very small side business and he has the ability to take credit card payments.

I'm going to capitalize on this. It will be interesting to see people's reactions when I inform them that I DO charge for my services. My guess is that they will actually apply some effort to figure their ridiculous computer problems out... I mean shit... Google would reveal common, valid fixes to the types of things people call me about.

Payment will be expected at time of service. They will need to drop their machines off at my place and won't get them back until I get paid. On-site calls will have an increased price and 'emergency calls' will have an expediting fee coupled with a service call fee.

If they want to be lazy, they will have to pay for that luxury.

As to rides... these folks have been clean for a while now. The meetings in our area are all within walking distance pretty much regardless of where a person lives. Fuck, I've walked to meetings before, its good exercise.

There have been other things that have bothered me about folks that I have been actually close with for years but, I'll just step back and try to use a more positive, realistic perspective

 

That sounds like a pretty good way to resolve that situation. Or you could just start printing and handing these out:

 

^ lol


God, I feel exactly like this today, some people do have a knack for taking advantage and dressing it up as some other bullshit.

However, I have alot of karma to sort out so i've decided to apply myself to volunteer and work, by my own choice, within social areas where I can contribute something of value...
That way, ive reasoned if general people start to drain me of my energy and start trying to take advantage as I see it, I can have a clear conscience by saying ''am...ya know what..im going to be busy, mostly when you feign interest in my company to fill your precious time and I just remembered that I actually dont really like you much anyway because I find you to be a life sucking asshole!!! so sorry bout that, good luck finding another sap to spin your bullshit to..You take care now!!!!''

If it's any help, here's what I did:
I earned extra money in college fixing people's computers. I partnered with a guy who already owned a business - he did the billing and dealt with the people, and I did the repairs.
$60 per hour, 1/2 hour minimum (eg basic virus checking and removal), + the cost (the amount I paid) of parts.

I don't own a car, so nobody tries to bum rides off me.

 

I can totally relate to this mentality.

I feel your pain.
