Someone once told me that I resemble Dr. House from the show House M.D.
This idea opened up my mind to a whole different world of ideas and scenarios, in which I, in fact, resemble myself as House. These are the exact words (if I recall correctly) that were said to me:
You are just like House. You're a total asshole and a jerk, you give your opinion, which actually makes sense, but not necessarily correct 100% of the time, which makes you look like an asshole. But the fact that you don't give a shit about what people say or think is what amazes me. It could be a good or bad thing. I see the positive side of it. When other people talk shit about you, you just let it be and not care, and this is what makes you, you. You stick to your case when you know you're right.
These words reminded me once again that I am, in fact, an asshole (thank you very much). I'll admit, those are the exact words to describe who I am. When I believe in something, I stand by it. Although I'm not the best decision maker and/or planner, my opinion still stands and will not change, unless proven wrong.
If you think I'm being an asshole, then maybe you're right, that I am an asshole. But then again, there could be another side to it. What if I'm actually right, and you're just too stubborn to accept the fact? Believe me, when I'm proven wrong, I shut up.
I apologize if sometimes I come across as arrogant. This is more likely in Facebook arguments. One person actually messaged me telling me that I'm nothing but just an arrogant son of a bitch who thinks he's right all the time. Well to defend my side, read above. If I know I'm right, I WILL ARGUE, and I will not stop if you carry on, UNLESS PROVEN WRONG. The person who called me arrogant has/is probably read/reading this. Don't worry, I don't hate you or anything. This is simply a response, a type of a defense mechanism.
In my Human Relations (applied psychology) class, I did one of those surveys in order for me to determine what type of defense mechanism I use the most. The results were somewhat what I expected. I often use rationalization. This means that I rationalize in order to defend myself whenever I'm wrong. I make the wrong things seem right. In simple words, I have excuses. I admit, I do have excuses.
But what are excuses? In my opinion, they are nothing but substitutes for reasoning. I will continue to use excuses. Excuses are like ass holes, everybody's got one. It's human nature. It's as natural as breathing. You have to use excuses to defend yourself. When you burp, why do you say "Excuse me?" You want to be excused for something you cannot control and natural. But why the need to be excused for something that naturally happens? Do you see where this is going? Every single aspect of life comes down to PERCEPTION. How does one perceive things? A glass could be half empty, or half full. Yada yada....
Have I confused you a little? Maybe. I kind of confused myself as well.
In conclusion, similar to Dr. House, I am a jerk with excuses, and will continue to use them, UNTIL PROVEN WRONG. I have absolutely no problem in admitting that I am wrong, you just gotta PROVE IT.
Someone also once told me that I'll be alone and miserable in my life if I stayed the same way as I am. I say maybe, or maybe not. Maybe someone out there can cope with my personality, or maybe someone already is coping with it.
It doesn't really matter because at the end of the day, I have a Million Opinions and this is just one of 'em.
