People are so full of shit

[toecoffin]

Just that really

I'm early 40s and getting less tolerant by the day

My husband is scared of my 50s

I copped-on in my 30s.

It’s been very liberating.

These days I have so very fucks to give.

I wish I'd thought this way when I was younger.

Just wait until you reach your 60s and have had 20+ years of not giving a fuck!

lol rsisys I'll be thrown out of my village by then !

Say it as it is, some people need to hear it. I spent too many years being nice and getting trodden on, now i use both barrels when called for

Hell wait until you're in your 60s. I am pretty much the only person who tells the bosses at work what we are all thinking but no one else brave enough to say. I no longer give a shit. They can't fire me for telling the truth and tbh I think the bosses are ok with it. I'm never rude but always to the point. I think my bullshit filter has finally worn out.

My go to phrase to people who chat shit is ‘that’s nice’ then I disengage.

read about "trauma dumping" and "social vampires"

act accordingly

Can I ask if this has affected anyone's friendships?

Oh me too! I have little patience left. So many people do as they like and then are upset when they are put straight.

I was rude apparently for pointing out that I was sick of 10 hours of thumping music that everyone could hear inside their homes every single day during the first lockdown. Because I suppose doing that isnt rude.

Entitled and self absorbed bastards everywhere and I've got no time for their shit anymore.

I'm with you. I feel like am a developing Victor Meldrew. I take no nonsense or stupidity from anyone.
My tolerance is remarkably low. I now fear I'm unemployable.

Agree completely. Am 33.

Peri eradicated the last vestiges of social veneer for me.

Late 20s. Realised this years ago.

I am nearly 50 and my tolerance to bull is so low. I just cannot be doing with the drama, I want consistancy,peace and harmony in my life , Thing is I have found with me is I know what people are going to do or say maybe long before they do,its eerie now how I can prempt them.Good fun though sometimes! I think also its a fabulous feeling when you know you can rely on yourself so have no need for anyone who doesnt bring anything genuine to the table,

If it has then it wasn't a true friendship anyway. On the other person's side, that is.

You don't need to be a doormat to keep friends.

Ha, wait until you hit your late forties I got the rage today at the gym when some entitled dickhead was flitting between two machines thus preventing me from using one. Years ago I would've just hovered pathetically until he'd finished but today I moved flung his towel and climbed on the machine. Out of the corner of my eye I saw him bounding towards me then do a 180 degree turn and slope off

I'm 60 & ran of fucks to give 10 years ago . So liberating .

I agree, OP. Couldn't care less now.

I'm 57.

It's wonderful. I will not be railroaded anymore.

Yes, it has affected my friendships

I no longer put up with people who are slippery with the truth. Or who treat me poorly.
I've readjusted my definition of friendship and let many go. Only one or two remain, but I'm ok with that for now. I'm re calibrating, so hopefully will make more friends

I suppose as a woman it also comes with being attractive not being a priority and realising that means Jack shit anyway

Not to say you can't be attractive, sexy etc at any age. Damn I think I'm hot as fuck. However my hot as fuckness is only reserved for situations that count i.e when I want sex with my husband

I'm not on this earth to try and be pretty for weak ass men who can't cope with anything with an once of strength so they have to make themselves validated through some bullshit ideas about masculinity.

I'm so done with that shit

I'm 33 and have noticed my tolerance for bullshit going down. (I blame my friend, she's in her 50s, and takes no prisoners, and has lived an interesting life. I think it's rubbing off on me.)

Something that happened recently was one of my housemates stole something from me (worth peanuts but sentimental and pawned it.) Well he messed with the wrong woman, and his own stupidity helped (because he took the thing to the only pawnshop in our town.) I reported it to the police, asked the people there if they'd seen it, (they had) the gave that info to the police, gave the crime reference number to the people in the pawnshop, and I will get it back (and the fucker will have to give back the money he got.) I bet he expected me to let it slide (I'm seen as mousey compared to the loud fuckers who live here) and I would have done ten years ago, but not this day. This day I fight. He's been really nasty to me but I'm not backing down. I'm not scared, if he tries anything I'll get him done for that as well (although he won't, he's a coward really.)

It seems when you stand up to bullies, you get classed as the crazy one. I recently stood up to someone and get accused of aiming stuff at them.

they are clearly a narcissist full of shit. From their behaviour and their little digs/comments.
Their shit drains me, too the point I had to take time off because it made me emotionally drained. so yes completely agree!!
