Do I really come across as THAT brainless, heartless or both?

The only way anyone ... And I do mean anyone and everyone other than Teddy... has ever tried to appeal to me emotionally when I'm in a negative state is through shame and guilt trips. (Otherwise they just try to appeal to me intellectually.)

Never positive emotions like "I know you love so and so very much and you might not want to say that... You know that will hurt them just like this hurt you... Because you can relate... You experienced such and such just like they do." instead they insist on name calling, accusations, kicking me whule I'm already down in the name of "using tough love to boot me to my feet," other types of belittling, telling me they expected better of me, telling me some bad thing will befall ME if this or unless that (assuming I'm a primitive who doesn't care about or want anyone other than myself).

And yes, I will go there.. It's sad. Just because I'm complaining here about my own life doesnt mean I have no right to be sad about this and to say that the reason why I'm sad about it is because it is actually sad.

Maybe they do this because they think I'm heartless and have no real emotional standards other than an ego. And that hurts so damn much.

They have read me so dead wrong, and gotten me down as so much the opposite of my actual values, that I want to throw up.

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!
