Let me clarify: I can be nice to people I feel deserve it. I don’t feel that stupid people deserve it. I feel stupid people deserve to have their stupidity pointed out to them as bluntly as possible. So how am I supposed to learn to be a kind and patient person who can function in this world when there are stupid people surrounding me every time I leave my house, or in comments on social media? The “easy” solution is delete social media and stop debating morons whose views won’t be changed because it’s pointless but for some reason I have to try, especially if it’s something I can back up with data. But when I leave my house these same idiots are driving AND looking at their phones and causing near accidents every five minutes because they’re so self important they can’t look at the goddamn road. I don’t suppose I have a point except that this affects my ability to function, especially at work in customer service roles which are the only kind of jobs I seem to qualify for, and frequently get because I can put on my nice face for the interview. But when I get a stupid or entitled fucking customer I can’t keep my shit together.
