Son you have not known scary until you have seen what Canadians do to milk.

You sound like a closet Canadian.

Last I checked my bacon was crispy and delicious, so no.

ill intent, it is always the ill intent......
when you reach your mid twenties, goofing off only happens with,

1. the few true blue close friends whom you known before hitting puberty,
2. your birth family members (no drunkard mother beating dad of course!)

I left my mid twenties in the dust a long time ago, and I can confirm that your post is 100% false. I goof on/around with:

- friends
- strangers
- supervisors at work
- cops who pull me over
- everyone

I don't have any friends from before puberty. And it's not ill intent that makes me do it, it's more like trying to make life interesting. Unless you can describe something specifically, I'm just gonna assume you're being too sensitive to whatever it is.

There's no need to become stronger or tougher. Growing a pair might be useful in other situations, but the best remedy in this case is to grow thicker skin. People are what they are, and you have to learn to accept that. Understanding what makes them who they are definitely facilitates the process of accepting them as they are. In other words, it takes an emotionally vulnerable person to see people as essentially mean and scary. A perceptive and open-minded individual sees people simply as people. Ultimately, however, a person who understands others must also be able to see his own self in every individual. People are mean and scary, yes, but so are you. Every human is a cradle of both good and evil, and you must know this of yourself, as well.

Seconded, I am a massively goofy person and I goof around on everybody. Truthfully it might be partly because I don't trust anybody so it's easier to interact with people in that manner rather than in a serious manner. But I also am just a really goofy person who enjoys acting that way.

Having read his latest posts... this is probably the best advice. And to get a sense of humor.

Thirded. I'm pretty goofy as well... and often a bit self deprecating, because I'm confident in who I am, and that kind of humor is a great way to break the ice and get people to lighten up a bit.

Hai GAF, i wonder what you think of the above phrase? How much truth is there to it or i am just being overly paranoid and pessimistic?

You want to fight about it?

Good post. But isn´t becoming stronger/tougher (yourself) the same as growing a thicker skin?

Some people are just born being a dick. Nothing you can do about that.

Just remember that you can always find a good friend if you search. Best friend turns into a dick? Find a new best friend.

Thats true too, I used to only be goofy around people I knew and so whenever I met new people, I'd be very quiet and not say or do much. This usually led to them thinking I was cold or boring. Once I started to not care and have enough confidence in myself to be goofy around everyone, I started meeting a hell of a lot more people...and getting laid a lot more :lol

The way I see it growing thicker skin doesn't necessarily require becoming more aggressive, forceful, passionate, or assertive, while growing stronger/tougher does. Depends on your interpretation of strength and toughness, though.

 

[eggandI]

Be mean and scary back.

Yeah. Don't let assholes take advantage of you. Be stronger.

Thread title should've been posed in the form of a question, I came in here expecting an entertaining story.
