I HATE YOU Already!

I sometimes wonder how some people get a default feeling of animosity even before interacting. As someone who doesn’t like people in general, I believe chivalry is still not dead, so I come out to be at least decently social. However, now and then, I meet people who hate- beyond any reason.

It’s like they are sitting there solely focusing on putting you down.

I am not even sure what irked them in the first place because this has only been your second conversation with them.

You have not met in person, but you can feel the poisoned arrows coming your way.

Having faced such a situation recently, I sat back to think.

Now, as I said- “Me isn’t a People Person,” which means my urge to give back on the bullshit is pretty strong.

But then, you cannot do it all the time or most of the time, so how do you control yourself.

Of course, “Control Uday Control” remains a good mantra, and you can always take deep breaths, but sometimes it just gets too irritating to manage.

So, what do you do?

Well, as I said, you sit back and think and find a reason.

So, presented with such a situation- I thought again.

I thought about why this certain person was reacting in such a manner?

What had I done wrong?

And then I felt- maybe they are insecure.

Maybe they do not see the complimenting nature of the association, or perhaps they take it as competing instead.

Maybe I am being seen as a threat, or Maybe, not everybody is a good happy person.

They can only reflect what they are, what they have been through- what their struggles have been.

Or maybe, they are absolutely fine, and this is how they are, and I am reading too much into the situation.

So, I have started doing this: I’ll treat them with respect, even more than they deserve. I will listen to their shit and ignore it and respond politely.

I’ll still kill them, but I’ll kill with kindness.

That way, I’ll still have my revenge, but I will serve it right out of the refrigerator with a topping cherry on it!

You see, you seriously cannot expect me to give you gyaan!

I am more bothered about my happiness than the log kya kahenge, and at 32+, I have unlocked some secrets to that, at least!

Until next time!
