| Just as 'miok' raised the rhetorical, insultingly presumptuous, overtly passive aggressive question regarding one intentionally misspelled word whose meaning in that context is unknown to everyone except the person who typed it, and then transformed 'thank you' into something ugly, I was similarly compelled to reluctantly waste two minutes and wonder out loud why the f**k someone would leave an unsolicited posting like that. It was composed either knowingly as a slight (person who gets off on causing pain or discomfort in others) or unwittingly by someone who really doesn't understand tact or how to sift through behavioral options and pick out a winner that is pithy, generic, and definitely not condescending (someone who hears the word 'spectrum' and his or her name attached at least a dozen times a day). If advice were my thing, I'd probably say that whoever wrote that should make a point of rereading everything they write, get two additional sets of fresh, objective eyes on it, and then work with those four additional eyes to either completely delete whatever was written, or rewrite it in a way that doesn't make the recipient feel as if they're being given a fake smile and getting kicked in the nuts simultaneously. "I don't know why you chose that particular image of a man wearing a costume he stole from a dominatrix, or what possessed you to include a series of really gay and childishly random icons after whatever the f**k 'miok' stands for, but none of it makes sense to anyone but you, and your need to display it publicly is pathetic AND pathological. But at the same time I really appreciate you sharing a bit about yourself. None of it makes any sense and it suggests a deep dissatisfaction with the 'you' that is sometimes reluctantly forced to live in the real world, but it's probably honest in some way no one would ever want to understand, so I guess I should thank you again for making the effort, however ill-advised. Just so you know, it might feel wrong or deceitful to hide the unflattering bits that make up a part of who we really are, but in your case, I'd actually recommend trying to pass yourself off as someone else entirely. Cheers." |
