ThoughtGrenade: I Don’t Like You.

article image placeholderUploaded by @FryedOreo
That person that keeps getting on your damn nerves, I don't like you. Person at McDonald's that screwed up your order, I don't like you. But we're taught in society to do no harm and to be polite. And in some ways, that kind of can backfire on you. People can take advantage, but you need to just say it. Sometimes. I don't like you. Fire in the hole

How does this make you feel? #thoughtgrenade #opinion

So, yeah, this was a good one. And, yeah, I recorded. I recorded a thing inspired by this one. I. And I hope you don't mind, I played your. I played your swell during my swell cast, but I did. I did tag you in it, but, dude, this was a good one, and I'm glad that you posted it because the wild thing was

But anyway, that's cool that from that experience, it went well. I got, I got a question for you on your swell cast podcast thing, so I'll hit you for that. But I honestly never listened to the, the long form stuff on swell, but I did for you because obviously I had vested interest to see what, you know, I was tagged for

As far as audio quality goes. Right now, I'm just jogging on headphones, so it sounds like crap. But what I have been doing, this is what has nothing to do. It's all the technique of uploading and stuff is that I'm recording. This is what I'm doing. I have my mixer, I have a rodecaster duo. It's recording into my laptop, into notes. I do everything if I want to

If I tell it to them and they say they don't care whether it's true or not, it takes the wind out of your sails and you no longer feel closure or empowerment or whatever else. Right. If they are scarred by it or potentially scarred by it. Like, even if I don't like somebody, I don't want to do that to them. So I guess I'm curious of, like, what is the

I think telling them, like, hey, man, I just want you to know, or, hey, woman, I just want you to know that I don't like you and I never will like you, and that all future interactions between the two of us, you should keep that in the back of your head. And at this point, in me not telling you that I like, I don't like you

But you know what this reminds me of? Kids will tell you quick. So I think we, as adults, we got people we don't like. We have that, but we are socially conscious, right? We understand, you know, social etiquette. But kids will tell you I don't like you
@SeekingPlumb

@RoosterCollins

And then it leaves the choice in their hands to take it to a next level of I don't like you. Like if someone said it to me when somebody who I already have an established relationship, if they say that to me, is not going to change anything and we're going to have a different kind of conversation about whatever the problem is, right. They're not just going to pop out with I don't like you

I've said that before. It's like you don't like me. I don't like you. It's the most satisfying feeling in the world when someone asks, you, like me? No, I don't at all. Did you not know? Good grief. What was your first clue? I love you, Auntie Andrew

I told the guy, and the guy, like, the thing was, I was addressing a guy who I know, like, after it all happened, the woman that I'm talking about in the thing, she contacted me. She's like, yeah, he's bad about how he treats women. And, like, everyone saw it during the show. And then, yeah, that was after I told him I didn't like, I just don't like you

Oh, my DBX 286s processor. I'll take a picture of all of it so you can see. But, yeah, that's what I usually use for like, anchor or Spotify podcast. So I haven't been able to do that on here. But if I was to get that partnership, which I kind of never wanted to do, but I could see some use of it here on the platform. If the audio is great, I don't know, anything's possible, I guess

Hey, Christina. Seeking plum. You know how this goes when we do these thought grenades. You usually respond in this way every time. And I, you know, I'm always. I always anticipate depth.

If you're on a hang up about something, like, I didn't read into fine print about ownership of things, it's probably my, you know, I just don't care. But you're on spot

I don't know why the reminder needs to be sent out, but now that she is a, she's in a room full of good company, friends, the two of us.

Is not. Is it a popularity contest? Or is it because y'all are so hooked on american bullshit that we never grow up, we truly never leave high school, hun. Love is blind. Is it blind? No, it's not, right? A lot of you have never even met me, and I've gotten death threats on this app. So clearly those people do not like me. There's a whole lot of people on this app, though

Alright. I'm stopping halfway through because. Damn, this is the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. You, my dear, are absolute, brutal perfection.

Okay, we'll go listen to swell. This is Wells you've made. Stop calling me condescending. Now, at this point, like, every time, like, I don't know. I don't know how to talk to you where you won't have an emotional response from, so. Okay, it's fair enough. I'll stop

And then the last thing you need to remember, plum, is that Jesus loves you always and forever. That is it. You gave yourself to him. You are his. He's going to harass and harangue you until you accept that, okay? Because you accepted that one way, took it to heaven when you were a child. So just deal with it. All right? Have a nice day, plum. I love you. And have a good night

I tend to get into this mode often on swell, and I have to check myself because I'll catch myself like, uh oh. Uh oh. You're trying to make a topic that everybody will want to participate in. That's not good, at least for me, my own set of standards that I tend to do. But, you know, to get to a point where I tell a person that I don't like them, it takes a lot, I guess

And I have to say, it was rather liberating. It was actually really nice to have that concrete boundary of, hey, your behavior is not acceptable. I find you abhorrent as a person, shaking my art piece that I got in front of me. But I said, essentially, I find you a important as a person, I think you lack moral character and I don't like you. And it was amazing. It was amazing to which they actually cared a lot

I'm really proud of you for doing that. That was super inappropriate for him to do, or them to do, or whoever to do. I don't think it's right that you were written up for this. I don't know what state you live in, but I don't think it's legal

I also have the secret superpower of being really, really, really triggering without saying any cuss words or saying anything that's actually controversial. I can just get people to get upset at me simply by the tone of my voice. So you can imagine the kind of nightmare scenario I can put a person through on the phone. I do it all the time. I have these tapes. If anyone like to hear them, just let me know

As tempting as that offer is to take up, I'm going to decline just because there's a part of me that is satisfied with knowing that the person who did it really was irritated and felt some sort of way about the fact that I didn't like them. There's some subtle psychology going on there that just tickles me. But my employer is not a good one. I'm not going to go into that on this reply, but they're not a good one

Yeah, I actually feel bad that I caused all this chaos. I'm not sure if you were aware of that's kind of what I do. That's why I didn't want to post the actual thing directly on your swell cast because I knew I had a curse word in it. I knew that it was going to drum up some kind of controversy, some kind of emotional response, and it has done that in spades here on your swell

I think that's how you start, is you get on here, engage directly, you're engaging with people. And then I had a lot of beautiful exchanges, but even those people turned on me at certain points. And I'm like, why are you turning on me? I've been nothing but nice to you, and that's a lesson that you learn. But as an adult, I know that people have their own things going on in their lives, and everybody's always just disagreeing

But, yeah, in the workplace, sometimes it can just get out of hand, you know, end up in HR or some nonsense. But thanks for the swell. And you know what, though? On a parting thought, you know, this thought just came into my head. I'm like, you know, did Jesus ever tell anybody I don't like you? You know, that thought just kind of came into my head and just been reading these, you know, spiritual encouraging swells

I wasn't gonna say I wasn't gonna pop in because everything you said was right. But towards the end, you're like, did Jesus say that he didn't like anyone? Jesus said much, much harsher things than I don't like you. Much harsher things. He said that you were going to burn in hell. He called pharisees snakes. He called. Remember, he referred to his own faith as the synagogue of Satan

And they felt the need to give it to me, so I kept it. That's what was important. And none of them glittered, and none of them were worth anything, because minerals only have certain magics. And I think the one thing that can kill us can save us. Everything's just a tool until it's using you. And I have no magic. I just trust in what I was given as a child
