The more I grow older, the more misanthropic I have become.Every time I see people being toxic on the video games, I just can't help but to get mad, most of the time, it's uncalled for. I don't know why people choose to be mean and miserable for no reason. They just want people to feel like shit, and for what?I hate it because I ended up arguing with them all the time.I want to kill them with a hammer.
>>34620930You getting upset at other people for being miserable makes you miserable in turn. From their perspective, your desire to argue is making you the toxic one. You need to step out of your subjectivity and learn how to see things objectively and from outside of your own limited personal perception. If you can do that, you'll stop getting upset at other people's ignorance, you'll stop vilifying them and feeling hatred towards them, and instead you'll only feel sympathy, pity and the desire to do good.
>>34620930I get you man, I can get way too fucking pissed at this shit too, but you gotta look at it like a business deal. You have to look at what you are putting into this and getting out of this. You can seethe and freak out and let these guys drain your fucking energy, but you will most likely accomplish nothing, you will not change these people, you will only end up frustrating yourself and amusing these toxic people. Not a good deal, not worth it, pointless. Just ignore them and don't engage, mute them or block them if you can, report them if it is appropriate to do so. If you feel like you absolutely HAVE to say something then try to play the calm, rational adult who is above all this bullshit, you just say your piece and you stay mature and that's it you're done, do not engage more with them than you need to and don't let them drag you into the mud. That is the best way to actually "win" against these people, it gives them nothing to feed on and it makes them look stupid and is most likely to actually make them think about their behavior.
>>34620981I can't though, I hate how they just get away with it. and that's so fucked up.
>>34621075Speaking crudely isn't a crime even if they were doing it in person. There's nothing for them to "get away with" in the first place, unless you're imagining that it would be acceptable for you to treat them violently because their words upset you. But if that were the case, that would make you the villain in every sense. Ultimately what you need to let go of is your offense, as well as the idea that you have the right to be offended. Offense is irrational because words that you disagree with can't affect you, and nobody has ever been entitled to irrationality. Anyone can begin looking at life more objectively, so long as they believe that it's possible and put in effort each day, so it's not a matter of "can't" as much as it's a matter of "won't.
>>34620930I have a different view. I used to be a piece of shit as a teenager and enjoyed ruining peoples fun on videogames. I was also toxic to play around.Toxicity = deep unhappiness. Its usually someone who spends 10 hours a day on that game, is not happy with their situation, most likely does not have many close relationships in their life, and that toxic mentality usually doesn't just end at the video game. So when you run into someone who is mean try to remind yourself that they are an unhappy person, and treat them like they are literally toxic as in avoid them/do not interact. And if they really upset you, just tell yourself "they are their own punishment" because that statement is true. They aren't going to log off the game and kiss their 10/10 GF then jump in their lambo to go to a pool party. No, they are going to spend another 9 hours hunched over a computer screen, by themselves, getting angry. That used to be me. I hated myself, fought with my mom constantly, punched holes in my wall, wanted to kill myself, had no friends, was extremely lonely, and so on. Just a struggling kid. Now I try to see the human behind every shitty person. Someone cut you off in traffic? Its probably a person who is late for work and freaking out and makes bad decisions in general. But if you met them outside that situation you'd probably think they are a good albeit flawed person.
>>34621102major cope. not every asshole is explainable by a sob story. sometimes they are just bad people, or need to have their ass kicked a little bit. innocent bystanders shouldn't have to be stoic saints, tiptoeing around every fragile ego.
>>34621463Not what he said at all, gain some reading comprehension.
>I want to kill them with a hammer.Sounds like you're just the same as them.
>>34622969You know full well that I'm not , I never really understand this type of argument. It never make sense. If someone rage baited with retardation shit to me and I fell for it, am I as bad as them? ofc not. that's stupid
You share the same human nature as those people. Fight fire with fire, rome wasn't built in a day. Talk shit often, eventually you'll get good at it
Same. For me it's coming from all angles and I don't know what to do about it. Abusive or emotionally distant family, people saying rude things about me in earshot while I'm in public, nasty people online, toxic workplace/shitty managersa, an increase in people trying to scam me, international politics/corruption etc.The bad in people seems to outweigh the good and it's making it harder and harder to be friendly.
>>34626061They probably sense you don't like conflict. You just have to become comfortable talking shit avout people so they know you'll give back as much as you recieve. Manners are for those you find worthy
>>34625968>If someone rage baited with retardation shit to me and I fell for it, am I as bad as them?If they're just goofing around and trolling and you're getting genuinely angry, that would make you worse than them because you're filled with hateful emotions and they're not.
