Topic: Trying too hard | |
---|---|
Have you ever had someone like you and try so hard to get you to like them? I find it annoying, constantly asking how you feel about them. Asking what sorts of things you like or what kind of person your attracted too and then they try to be that person or do that thing. I find this very manipulative. I'd rather be dislike for who I am then liked for pretending to be someone else. Anyone feel differently?

You'll find your assumption of a person's intent significantly affects the way you feel about their annoying behaviour.
Regardless of how authoritive we believe our assumptions, the most you can ever know another person is what you assume about them and what they choose to tell you. Even your parents. When it comes to an assumption of their intent, which drives the emotional reaction to their behaviour, it is merely your own construct. Half of what you believe they are doing, all the parts involving their train of thought, feelings and intent, is simply not true. It is something you made up. And it is this which drives how you feel about it. Now, when I snap my fingers you will be a rooster and recall none of this. |
