The Worst Qualities
I feel very strongly on this subject because this is something that affects my life absolutely everyday of my life and I cannot stand it. This post is about the qualities in people that make me immediately dislike someone. These qualities are being loud and pushy. I know, you're probably thinking, "That's it? You hate everyone who is above average volume and expresses their ideas strongly?" No. It's not like that. I'm not a complete asshole (I hope). My problem is when people talk louder and louder to drown out all ideas that are not their own. When people only listen to the loudest people talking even if other people are trying to share their ideas too. When people push their idea so much, they are blind to what anyone else has to say. When people don't even care who they stomp over in order to be the only one heard. When people think you need to hear absolutely every single detail of their lives and don't let others say the important parts. THIS is what makes me strongly dislike (I don't like using the word hate) this type of people, because as a representative of Quiet People Worldwide, this is fucking annoying. Worse than annoying. It is unbearable, because no one cares what you think or what you have to say, so you are left there to sit and listen to other people drown you out. If you have never been on the side of the quiet person, you have no idea what they feel, or what these loud people are doing to their self-esteem. Or their idea of the world for that matter. Can you imagine how many people are looking at the world with a bleaker view because they think that unless they trample people, they will never be heard? That is why these qualities are the worst. Because of how they make the people on the other end feel. And yes, I have had more than enough experience with this.
