Why are you an asshole?

[FaisalOrb]

We're all assholes in one way or another

For example
I tend to shit on everything my friends like and feel like hanging with people is a waste of time unless i really really like them
I also give advice that i don't follow and like to pretend that I'm outside the bubble of life which gives me a sense of false superiority

In which way exactly are YOU an asshole
Let's do some introspection

[Ragnarokia]

Because it gets attention from my boyfriend using it? idk.

[Nationals1995]

I laugh at people's failures and when they tend to get really angry over something that isn't important. It's gotten me in trouble countless times. Being honest here. And I tend to be a bit judgmental.

I thought that was normal. Ugh

[Wunderbar]

wow did you just call me an asshole?

[CiviLies]

Hi.
My name is CiviLies.
And I shitpost out of boredom.

[Me-Patch]

I'm arrogant and have an inflated view of my own intelligence. A lot of times I catch myself being snide to people who I don't agree with. I'm also incredibly vain, I dislike being around guys who are better looking than me. I manipulate people, sometimes without even realizing it. And I have, in the past, done horrible things to people who cared about me.

I think that makes you the opposite of an asshole.

A mouth?

[Heretic-Anchorite]

Usually the only time a act like an asshole to someone they either did something rude or dickish to me, but otherwise I try to be polite.

[Spedmallet]

Why would anyone be proud of being an asshole? That's like -putting yourself on the back for kicking a dog or a handicapped midget

I think it's meant to be an exercise in reflection and self perception. It's healthy to honestly evaluate your faults and character flaws in an attempt to correct behaviors and mindsets that are detrimental to your growth as a person. People who are unaware of their own problems often repeat their mistakes rather than learning from them.

I'll take your response and add that i don't generally care about sharing a common interest with people.

also, i take too much pleasure in pissing people off.

and i'm a miserable person.

i like walks on the beach, strolls in the park

[MrPercie]

Because when something annoys me, no matter what, Im going to turn into a fucking asshole just to make things fair, or at least in my view.

[koopahermit]

Because that's where the male g-spot is.

[NeonSpider]

I'm only ever an asshole to people who deserve it. If I'm ever an asshole to you, you deserved it.

[Ron-Geno]

OP stop being a dickface

Are you out trying to prove to everyone else that females are equal and that they matter or to yourself

[Voltage]

What you lookin' at? You all a bunch of fuckin' assholes. You know why? You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be? You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "that's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me? I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie... So say good night to the bad guy! Come on. The last time you gonna see a bad guy like this again, let me tell you. Come on. Make way for the bad guy. There's a bad guy comin' through! Better get outta his way!

[Phobotech]

Because I drive drunk and I don't remember how I get home, yet I'm always fine and I never get pulled over. I'm a talented and controlled driver, and I assume my luck won't run out someday....I think that's kind of assholish for me to assume.

though i'll admit i've driven home stoned before. and been in cars with stoned people plenty of times.

not like it's completely unmanageable

Well, I mean it. I've never thought it was a problem because nothing bad has come of it yet, and I'm terrified that I won't be able to handle it when shit doesn't work out like it has.

I've done this for years. I always hydrate, I always do a coordination check just in case I get a roadside test (which has never happened) and I always straighten up when I see a cop in mid-drive...everythings fine, and quite frankly, I'm bothered by how non-chalant I am about this shit.

If luck exists, is it finite? I might not live long enough to find out...that scares me sometimes.

I got drunk last night. I made it home, made two fuckin' jumbled posts on the BBS, and passed the fuck out in my own bed. My buddy from Lubbock got drunk with me...left around the same time, and he's in jail. There's nothing I can do about it, and I feel awful....and then I get to thinking, what if it was me? What if my buddy died? ...and then the thought trails along that I'm never going to drink again.

...and deep down, I know thats bullshit.

Driving stoned ain't the same thing as driving drunk...especially if you have music for the ride.

...and now that I think of it... that's a lie.

Relevant to the thread's discussion, lying or "bending the facts" kinda makes me an asshole too.

Running into a curb in my parent's vehicle, blowing the tires makes me an asshole.

Gettin' creepy on a girl friend, and ruining our friendship makes me an asshole.

Refusing my friend's hospitality out of pride and confidence in my inebriated driving abilities on multiple occasions makes me an asshole.

....Why the fuck do I even drink. Its not fun anymore.

[Head-Full-Of-Acid]

don't beat yourself up too hard, you haven't done much of anything wrong.

at least you're thinking about it.

[SubliminalVirus]

I like to make fun of everything that makes the people I know happy... Things like anime, religion, homestuck, harry potter, hockey. I just hate the pleasure it gives them...

if you hate the pleasure it gives them, what does that say about you? you want to give them that pleasure?

and this, lady & gentlemen, is why I am an asshole
