Sometimes I feel like the only person in some "groups" or "categories" who doesn't get easily offended. Like eh, I can take a few jokes others consider sexist or whatever. I can take a joke if people make fun of "flat chests" even if I'm pretty flat too. I don't even care about ableist names/terms anymore because they're losing meaning to me. It's like saying that calling others "lame" or "four eyes" is still offensive. ( Now I just find it a hilariously weird thing of the past. I can't believe I used to take offense to those things as a kid when I was bullied... )
Sometimes, it just feels better to live life not caring. Not caring about the so-called "offensive" words going around. It doesn't matter if something is all so offensive, but it matters if someone is actually going out of their way to hurt you. What matters more are the actions, and I'm growing up learning to take control of how words affect me. Because I DO have that control, I CAN have that control over my own life.
People make mistakes, quit acting like they're supposed to perfectly bend and tend to your every little special need just 'cause you can't let yourself grow and learn to deal with these things. It's just the harsh reality of life, but want to know the wonderful reality of life?
You can take it and be tough about it. You can find happiness in unexpected things. There are good people out there too, even if the hatred and war of the world blinds or fogs your ability to see these people are out there.
I used to be crazy cynical. I used to believe no person was good anymore, even to a point that I wouldn't believe I could be a good person.
What this did to me in the long run? Hurt me. It hurt me worse than the "bad" people out there. I still have trust issues, but now I'm willing to trust my close friends just a little bit. I'm trying to feel safer around them even if they're not perfect and may hurt me on accident sometimes as I accidentally do to them as well. It's just how things are. So I ask... I beg that you all try to make an effort to grow out of these unhealthy mindsets. Please? :<
( I would explain in more detail, but I don't want to make this post any longer. So if you think I'm missing any points, it's because I'm not going to go on a public rant about other things related to this. My apologies in advanced. )
