But I can be a very vindictive person when I feel I have been slighted. And it actually can be the way I craft material to come up with something creative. I can be petty. But how about you, pettiness? Is it something that you try to avoid at all cost? Or are you maniacal in your manner of delving out said pettiness? Let's talk about it today

So maybe I am petty. I just choose not to go about it with my actions because that takes a little bit more energy. If you ask me. It doesn't take much energy for me personally to just use my mind to be petty and make someone notice my pettiness and feel like away because they made me feel away FRSH. So I try to avoid it for the most part

Fresh. Thank you for taking the time not only to listen to this swell, but to also offer an audio response in the world of pettiness. Oh, what a world. What a world it is. Yeah, I'm right there with you, man. It just comes out. I'm naturally eloquent with the words, and like you said, you can come across pettiness, and it's contagious, right?

So, for example, with the same example I just gave, one of those ladies were to come back and say, hey, you know what, JL. That comment you made, it landed like this and I didn't appreciate it. I will acknowledge my wrongdoing and respectfully be like, okay, I am not going to do that anymore. Just out of respect for them, acknowledging how it landed for them. But if they don't say anything, then I'm going to leave it alone

And I think you brought up a great point of the situation you were in where you had recognized you had let it slip but at the same time you acknowledge that when it comes to a person telling off another person when they themselves too were in that scenario it seems kind of fair to acknowledge because there is a certain sort of self awareness at play where you would hope the other person is aware of a statement or maybe the way they act in spite of what they are preaching is what they are doing
Pettiness? Well, what makes us petty? And what happens when we become petty? I think pettiness comes from when others put pettiness onto us. Or maybe disrespect. Right? If we feel like we've been disrespected, we do become petty. When I'm disrespected, it makes me feel I get petty. And I have to find a way to make you feel petty. I find a way to get you back. So I think pettiness is like a form of revenge

Omega Strange. Thank you, as always, for taking the time not only to listen to the Swells, but to also offer an audio response. What a great question about pettiness and spitefulness, the road to revenge. Right. And I think these are both microaggressive ways of showcasing anger. But suspitefulness, interestingly enough, is the desire, a desire to hurt, annoy or offend someone. So it's not really the act expressed, it is more within the acts that are expressed
