Boring people are boring.
And, I just don’t have the time to be bored. Anyway, recently, someone whom I have, unfortunately, known since childhood sent me a…well, what’s the best way to describe their sad little email? He sent me a semi-pornographic, stream-of-consciousness email rant about all the things he wanted to do to me and what did I think. Oh my. I thought that he’s sad, and lonely and incredibly boring, and probably drunk and I didn’t reply. His shame and loneliness aren’t my problem.
I’m sure some people are thinking, “B*tch, don’t let him get away with that, tell him what a loser he is!” Meh. First off, he knows he’s a loser, that’s why he sent that email. If he thought he was worth it, if he thought he was a great guy, he’d have had the confidence to send me a real email, or–Yahweh forbid–pick up the phone and called me, and had a conversation like a human. By the way, I’ve known this person since we were 6 and 7.
But he’s lonely, and has limited social skills and so he reached down into the depths of his “personality,” for the courage to send me an email of trash. Two years ago, he sent me another bit of electronic joy in the form of a rant about just what exactly is my business, what does this mean, since he doesn’t understand it. When I tell you that he’s an actor and a “lifestyle coach”…you’re not surprised, right? I’m not mocking actors, by the way, but anyone who admits to being a lifestyle coach should probably be used as bait. So, for example, if someone you love is kidnapped, you can arrange to have them exchanged for lifestyle coaches. Hmm, except that the kidnappers would realize that no one is ever going to pay the ransom on a lifestyle coach. Dammit. ( Some of you are thinking, “Well, what the hell is a ‘Creativity Yenta?'” Short answer: Competent. #boom!)
Also, once I publish this post, I won’t think of him again. I have too much to do, and arguing with people, demanding that they justify my self-worth isn’t on my to-do list. Not in this life. His approval is not necessary for my self-worth. His approval is only important to himself, and he clearly can’t even manage that. I have a modicum of empathy for him, but on the whole, I dislike boring people. And his shame is his problem.
Next!
Besos,
