I was always of the view that people are good unless they prove otherwise....but now thinking I got this the wrong way round!!

I try to be a good person and friend but just get shit on from a great height! SO, am now trying a new approach of "youre a tw*t, unless you can prove youre not"!

Am i going to end up bitter and friendless?!?!?! Hmm

YABU.

They are not twats.

They are cunts.

proudnglad · 23/09/2010 13:55

Yes, you are right, the world 100% full of twats. Except you of course.

Hmm
maktaitai · 23/09/2010 13:56

Ooh I'm a twat. I don't mean to be but that's almost worse. Most people seem to be much less twattish though, maybe you've just been unlucky.

queenofthecapitalwasteland · 23/09/2010 13:56

YABU.

Is this true of every single person you've met? as I very much doubt it.

I think you're having a bad day and need to go get a cuppa and take a deep breath. Maybe take a look at the sort of people you're making friends with? Or are you expecting too much?

FranSanDisco · 23/09/2010 13:57

Well don't include me in that as I'm just a twit working towards an A.

Chil1234 · 23/09/2010 14:00

'You're a tw*t' will result in bitter, friendless status. However, maintaining a healthy cynicism when dealing with anyone is definitely better than being overly naive & trusting.

EstroGena · 23/09/2010 14:02

Ah perhaps I do expect too much?!?! Or perhaps it is ME that is the twat?!?! Or perhaps I tell people FAR too much about my life and then get pissed off when they then think that they have the right to comment on it!!!!

Is it not healthy to be naturally untrusting? Self preservation?!?!? Confused

Be extremely careful about telling anyone something about yourself that you don't want to hear repeated back on another day. Don't ask for an opinion if you don't want to hear an answer you don't like. Don't complain about an aspect of your life if you don't want unhelpful suggestions on how to fix it....

Always let people earn your trust rather than assuming trustworthiness right from the off. Better to have a reputation for being a little secretive than having your private business gossipped about by strangers....

Trust is such a fragile thing.

Is this a general observation or have you been shafted specific individuals recently ?

BeneathCompetent · 23/09/2010 14:29

I personally am a twat. And, quite frankly, I don't trust anyone who isn't.

proudnglad · 23/09/2010 14:31

Walked straight into the trap, cumfy. Here unravels the stealthiness...

Things like Crunk music, drop crotch jeans and skinny jeans have convinced me that everyone in the world is just some type of cunt

EstroGena · 23/09/2010 15:38
