One of the most common ways for people to assuage their own insecurites is to put someone else down.
It’s an immediate weird kind of ego boost for the majority of people, especially if they can also have someone agree with them.
It’s pretty unreasonable. I’m guessing there might be a common theme to find with other apes, but yeah its really something you can write off as thoughtless.
it’s so true. other people don’t need to conform to your standard or wishes or priorities. Expect people to act the way they act, even if that means they act shitty.
Accept the fact that most people will use you to compare themselves against to boost their own ego. They may look down on you for something out of your control, and it isn’t your responsibility to give a shit or fix that. Just do the job.
I can’t say I have many firends at work, I don’t. But my indifference makes me a boring target for bullies too. Throw shade at me, IDGAF, I know how (not) to value the opinions of others.
