Guest guest Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 The topic of rage and " normals " being rude has come up again and I'd like to address it. In my late 40's I was able to develop a survival mechanism that has helped me a great deal. I am able to look at myself and my reactions clinically and with detachment. It helps to keep me somewhat more sane than I would be but the point is that PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING RUDE. WE PERCEIVE them as being rude. Honestly folks, people are just living their lives. They sniff and slurp and grunt and smack and sigh and are generally disgusting. But they are not being what society deems " rude " . If people knew their behavior was socially wrong and rude, the death-stare would work to stop the activity. We are the anomaly. I am only saying this because it has helped me to reduce some of my rage. I understand that the rage is mine, the problem is in my messed-up perception. I think they are a bunch of rude ass-hats too: but it's my mis-wired brain that is telling me that - it is not a fact. OK - Off the soapbox.
