She's one of those people that only wants someone to agree with her that life is awful or that life is terrible. She only wants you to stay in negativity with her. If you offer anything she gets mad or feels judged. If you try to make suggestions she has all the reasons in the world why those things won't work. If you offer any kind of advice she thinks you're a "know it all" ... These kinds of people are just so tedious and exhausting to deal with. They take energy from you.

She works a lot and hates her job. She also hates people and everyone she works with. She judges everyone and always has complaints about people around her. People are boring. Life is boring. Her health is bad. etc etc and on and on but never any ideas about making a change or trying to explore different things. She has no hobbies. She doesn't read books. She doesn't like music. She doesn't enjoy anything at all. She doesn't like putting effort into things. What kind of a life is that?

I am always unsure of how to respond to such people. I don't know how to talk to them or advise them because they don't want advice, they just want to complain or vent or yell and then go back to their misery. They want to drag someone else down with them and get mad when you don't respond in kind to their negativity. I don't have patience for that stuff. I'm a goaler. I'm a doer. I'm someone who doesn't believe in complaining and never taking any steps to fix anything or even trying to.

I have an acquaintance that calls me often because she is bored or feeling restless. She's a very miserable person and I have a difficult time handling people who are perpetually depressed and won't do anything to examine that state. She is also a very angry person as a result of being depressed which also makes her difficult to handle. She is the type of person to complain about everything - work, people, the world, her health, her life - but will never do anything to change things.

If you haven't seen it ... DO ❤️

If you have time to make everyone else's life and interests the target of your vitriol then you're simply not busy enough or fulfilled enough in your own life.

Get a hobby. Get a job. Get therapy. Get refocused on what life really should be about ... and I will give you a hint: it shouldn't be about making other people, especially strangers, miserable.

If you really believe that your role in life is to judge, control, or try to destroy the lives of others ... you might be a trash person.

People have different likes, needs, preferences, needs, health concerns, financial needs, family situations, mental health levels, interests, desires, professions, accents, tastes, intelligence, wants, turn ons, turn offs, life paths, hairstyles, head shapes, body shapes, education levels, social access, and psychological profiles THAN YOU .... did you know that?

Did you also know that none of it needs to be your business and that you don't need to comment negatively or at all on ANY OF IT?

I hate to break it to you but ... OTHER PEOPLE EXIST IN THE SAME WORLD YOU EXIST IN.

It may come as a shock to you but try and take a breath and really understand what this means ...

It means YOU are NOT the CENTER of the universe and that YOU are NOT the ONLY person who exists in the world.

I know it's hard to understand, but do your best.

I imagine it's hard to accept reality when you're delusional, neurotic, and a sociopath but ... at least pretend to try.

Just because you decided to wake up today does not automatically give you the right to demand that everything should be about you.

Just because someone wrote a book or a video game or a television show that features someone of a culture, sex, age group, or ethnicity that is different from you doesn't mean anything is being take from you or that the world is somehow going to hell.

If you think this ... you seriously need a mental wellness check and/or therapy.

I'm tired of the STRUGGLE OLYMPICS, the OPPRESSION OLYMPICS, the MISERY RELAYS, the #CHRONICILLNESS gatekeeping and every single other thing people use to try and ensure that everyone is always in competition with one another instead of actually just LISTENING, UNDERSTANDING, and SUPPORTING each other.

This country brainwashes everyone into believing every single thing is a competition ... it's not.

Life is life and everyone has different struggles. It's not about who is "winning".

It's weird how often people need this kind of reminder. It's insane how entitled people feel these days. It's almost like the harder living life becomes, the more entitled people feel ... as if merely surviving every single day without giving up automatically entitles people to be centered.

I hate to break it to you but there are a lot of people out in the world surviving ... it's not a competition and it doesn't mean you're special or that you're more deserving of things for choosing life.

Instead of spending your energy on trashing things that don't appeal to you or that weren't made with you in mind, perhaps a better use of your time would be finding things that DO appeal to you and DO tick your specific boxes.

Instead of spending your energy on being a troll and unleashing your negativity into the world because you're angry at not being considered the center of the universe, perhaps a better use of your time would be seeking therapy or some way of regulating your emotions.

Not everything is for you.
Not everything centers you.
Not everything is about you.

This includes media such as books, television shows, movies, video games; people have different interests and different things that appeal to them ...

This also includes objects such as devices, accessibility items, and different tools that aid people who need them.

Some things are not necessarily designed with you in mind and they don't need to be.

You're not the center of the universe.

#AgathaAllAlong was some of the best TV I've seen in a long while. Better than it had any business being. Incredible writing.

This is my cousin, Chief of the Manchester Police Department, Chief James Berry, who recently passed away.

In 2004, he was sworn in and was the first Black police chief in Manchester, Connecticut.

I don't read books but I do have a Kindle from a while back. I purchased the new #KindleColor because what I do read are #comics and now I can take them with me anywhere.

The new KindleColor is amazing for reading comics and the colors are vibrant. It also supports the #guidedview so I can read frame by frame which is best for me.

Absolutely epic

Filmmaker Drew Binsky, who creates wonderful short documentaries, visited Yanjin, China, which is widely known to be the narrowest city in the world.

Situated between two mountains along the Yangtze River, Yanjin is a rural city that is home to over 100,000 residents who live in high-rise buildings that make efficient use of available space.

Binsky toured the city with fellow traveler Yan of Little Chinese Everywhere.
