Over Shooting
Recently I have been experiencing an inner dislike for a particular type of people. I don’t know what to label them as but there are quite a number of them in my life and sometimes I don’t like their presence.
The people I don’t like are the people who look down on you when you’re trying your hardest to get ahead in life while they have things easily handed to them. These people expect you to achieve their definition of success, or the process of it, with obviously different circumstances.
Sanrio 1: This persons family encouraged him to quit his job so they can pay for his school with a generous spending allowance. When I was complaining about how hard work was, he suggested for me to cut down my hours (like it was no big deal). I told him that I pay for everything I own and my parents don’t help me pay for everything. My car, insurance, phone, food, ect ect are all paid for by me. I can’t financially afford to cut down my hours. Thankfully, the only thing I don’t pay for is rent. He says, “oh” but he does not fully grasp my concept. He is also trying to get with women out of his league and his standards are set higher than the moon. He is trying to get women who are already successful/rich when he himself hasn’t achieved greatness (yet). Here I am making more money than he has ever made and doing things on my own and he still doesn’t notice me (like that). I am obviously not a high enough status or whatever to be noticed. I know prettiness is not a factor because I know I am pretty. He wants the women he dates to be skinny and have long hair (which I have) but he himself is fat. What’s up with that?
Sanrio 2: This person is boasting about his 4.0 and I was simply happy by keeping my GPA over a 3.5 and all my classes over a 3.5 while working full time ect. He talks about how he could never get under a 4.0 and he works his ass off ect. He looks at my grades for my paralegal program (which are all over 3.7) and says… “oh… cool..”. I get a sympathetic congratulation, although I know he tries to not make it obvious. I would love to get a 4.0 too… but he does not work while he is going to school. He has all the time and money in the world to work his ass off on a 4.0 whereas I do not.
End rant.
