As a right-brained individual, I find this slightly over-the-top. However, I don’t deny having the advantage in terms of creative talent thanks to my genes. By the way, I’ve NEVER liked the words “Mental Illness”. We preach acceptance of others, but that label is one of the worst in the United States, rarely ever linked to anything positive. I’d like to change that.

I agree that women have the tendency to apologize way too often for things that they didn’t even do.

If someone bumps into me, the only time I let it slide is if it’s completely unintentional. But if you’re walking through a store with a metal shopping cart while on your cell phone, ignoring everything and everyone in your visual field, and you hit me in the back, I am going to contemplate whether the jail time is worth it for being hit in a spot that can cause serious harm. If you don’t get the hell off the phone and apologize immediately, I am definitely going to say something in a tone that isn’t anywhere near polite. Especially if you just did it in front of your children, thus giving off the impression that it is acceptable behavior. I don’t care if you’re male or female, that is just plain wrong.

I’m NEVER going to apologize for being myself and speaking my mind. I am not going to neuter myself to appease others.

So can 1000 other things. I think we can all safely agree that I won’t be winning any niceness awards anytime soon closing in on NEVER. I’m sort of relieved! LOL.

P.S. I take depression very seriously, so don’t assume my warped humor is directed towards something real and life-altering.

Having read this, I feel pretty damn good about the kind of friend I am to others.

I had a “masquerading friend” break up with me via e-mail several months ago. Not only do I find it as low as breaking up with a girlfriend/boyfriend via text or social media, but it shows me who the person really is. I don’t have time for crap like that, or crappy people.
