I have a bone to pick with a few of you out there. Now I already took responsibility in a previous post for letting people get to me, get under my skin. The full truth is that it's not all my fault. Your nasty attitude has something to do with it. It should be no surprise that people's moods rub off on each other.
I agree that sometimes people can't help it. Somehow when you left your house and tried to bury your bad mood there, it followed you to work and in that conversation you later had with friends. I think you can help some of it though. People who are in bad moods are most likely in their most selfish stage. All they're thinking about is their lousy mood and how much things suck. I may, perhaps, sometimes be guilty of doing this, but I want us to think of a few things the next time we're not too cheery:
1. The world isn't against you
2. People who haven't done anything to you don't deserve to be treated like they have.
3. Everyone has problems. You have no way of knowing whether or not you've gotten the shortest end of the stick.
What do you get out of dragging people down with you? Keep your distance and stay jealous of all us happy people until you decide to join us.
The thing is, you have just put everyone you come into contact with into two categories. They're either people who put you in a bad mood or people who haven't done anything to you, but you're projecting your bad mood upon.
So grow up. Apologize to the people you've been spreading your bad mood on because you know they didn't deserve it in the first place. Second of all, confront the person who you're upset with. For all you know, they have no clue you're mad at him or her.
That way, others around you can live in peace. You just might gain some of their respect back.
