What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

I'm thinking about starting a service that provides free FICO scores. Then relentlessly bombarding the applicants with offers for paid identity protection, fraud protection, mortgages and car loans, easy payday loans, college loans, investing advice, tax preparation services, estate planning services, whole-life insurance, a job-hunting platform, and cremation and burial services.

Frankly, I'm surprised no one has ever thought of that before.
 
I don't know if it's jealousy or if certain people just suck in general and don't know how to be kind - but sometimes I want to be an absolute cunt in response.
It sounds like being a wee bit reserved is good 😂 but sometimes folks do need a reminder that their behavior has an impact. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt as there are folks that think I'm an absolute cunt for way less.

Send coffee.
I know I'm a little late but I'm guessing you can still use some.

That I should use more emojis or context when I ramble off about stuff
I am often misunderstood in my attempts at
communication 🤷🏻‍♀️ and use emoji liberally to clarify my intentions. Sometimes it works. 😂

You do understand that you give a lot of us carpal tunnel syndrome from clicking on all of your emojis to see if they hide new pics of you, right?
 
When someone tries to cheer me up by saying that some people have it worse... how is that supposed to cheer me up? That there are people in a worse situation than me, or whomever is being told that, is not something to be happy about!
Preach. I feel like I already tell myself that so many people have it worse. However, what you're going through shouldn't be compared to others or minimized in any way.

Feel your feelings because they are valid. And direct me to anyone that needs a good throat-punching for you 🤭😘

It does help me to remember that somebody always has it worse. Not that I'm cheering for that, but it helps me pull myself out of the muddy puddle of self-pity that I'm dealing with at the time.

And that's fine. But it's neither the sympathetic nor empathetic response someone is looking for when they are talking to someone else about what is happening.

It's one thing to minimize your problems in your mind as a coping mechanism. It's another altogether when you are seeking a shoulder, an ear, advice, whatever, and that is their response.

I know, for me, when that's what happens, I don't go to that person anymore with what's wrong. If their response is pointing out that someone has it worse than me, well, I can figure that out on my own.

Sometimes, someone just needs someone to say they understand, it sucks, offer them a hug/drink/cake/etc, let them cry/yell/laugh/etc, and be there in whatever way they need.

I never tell anyone else that someone else has it worse. I agree that that can come off as condescending or patronizing. I only use that philosophy for my own benefit.
 
This conference call has run 30 minutes over because the dipshits think we are all here for stories.
He wont stop asking questions, she won't stop answering them and they're both about to go take a piss with me.
 
It wasn't anyone on here, but thanks for the offer of throat punching! May I keep it in reserve please?

What I was trying to say was that thinking about other people being in a worse place than me just makes me feel for those people too. I want everyone to be happy. (Not too much to ask, is it?! :ROFLMAO:)
No, I get that too. Thinking of people in worse situations definitely doesn't help.

You get one throat-punch in reserve. Locked and loaded. Only cuz you're aight 😉
