Self-loathing saps

[DuckusCrapus]

I probably shouldn't post in here, due to I am trying to be positive about life and steer away from negativity, but this crap just bothers me.

I see so many people on FB, local hot rodders, who constantly complain about how sad and lonely they are. How difficult life is and that they just want to get out and do things with people and have a good time.

So enter my dumbass: I am always inviting people out for Ducknics, shop nights or opportunities to hang. Just simple bench racing or even letting them vent for a while so they can get things off their chest. Whatever. But, with every invite they never show, yet almost like clockwork they post the next day on how life is just kicking them in the balls with being lonely or they need to get out and do something.

WTF?!!!

I have always tried to help people and be of assistance, but I kinda have my own fire I am trying to deal with these days. Wondering if I just should let them wallow in their self pity, because that is what they actually want. At this point I am conflicted to not slow down to try and constantly give aide to those who refuse to take it.

Maybe I am just a grumpy ole' bastard?

Either way, I am tired. What say you?

Pretty sure i know the main one you are talking about but that's beside the point. Some people just want the attention. I always heard growing up that even negative attention is better than no attention but I choose not to give in to it. Hopefully those people eventually find solace and happiness with themselves because if you don't enjoy your own company nobody else is going to want to be around you either. Personally after everything that Deb and I have gone through in 40 years of marriage, I decided to turn off the satellite tv and went ad free on pandora rather than listen to ads and other drama on the radio and it has been a game changer! To quote one of my favorite movie lines- get busy living or get busy dying! I think I've successfully wasted a response without saying anything so there you have it! LMAO!

This post wasn't really directed to one individual, I think. LOL Maybe it was. I just get frustrated trying to assist some people out of their darkness, but they never take it. Makes you wonder if the darkness is manufactured, they enjoy it, they like the attention it gives them, or they are just too proud to accept the assist?

I don't know man. The last few months have been a friggin' crazy ordeal with me. Almost don't feel like the same dude. I am good with that, but it is a little spooky. I am just enjoying the freedom from cutting the negativity from my life. And yet, here I am in the "Soap Box" bitching. HA!
