I’m baffled by moody and unpleasant people. How do they function? How do these people manage to hold jobs, make friends and get married? I have met so many people like this and it’s incredible to me how they manage to

Are you talking like consistently moody and unpleasant or like occasionally moody and unpleasant. Bc i believe i fall into the latter as im usually happy when im around other people, unless they are strangers on public transit (they fucking suck)

The only time I get like that is dealing with stupidity. There’s nothing that makes me more moody than having to repeat a 3 step process 5 times in a row

Honestly I would admit that I'm pretty moody and unpleasant. You can get away with it if you stay quiet at least 60% of the time. Making friends is ok because you don't have to be around friends long enough at one time for them to get sick of you. Job is the same thing. Making it seem like you're joking/sardonic when you're not helps. As far as having a romantic partner, they kind of filter themselves out. Anyone who can't handle it breaks up with you within a month (speaking from experience).

It’s people that know nothing about breathing and how it affects your mental state

We find people who like us despite it, and those people know what we’re like all the time and enjoy our personalities along with the unpleasantness. Tbh it isn’t really a turn it off kind of thing, for a person who just is moody and not too nice most of the time I can safely say the friends I have genuinely like me a lot bc you have to like/love someone like on a deeper level to be able to be around them a lot w out taking how they are personally

Well if they’re being rude and moody to you they’re sorta asking for it right? I get when I interact with these people it really bends me out of shape and ruins my day

Yea same here. Currently trying to just be optimistic. When i interact with these ppl, i just try to look forward to the next good thing happening. Like say something shit happens bc someone is being a prick early in the workday. Look forward to lunch or a coffee with your friends. Just small things that normally dont correlate, but add up towards your self esteem.

Makes sense but if someone is working a job where that’s the case and they hate their job it’s not right for them to take it out on others but def valid point on why people become like that doesn’t always make it right tho 💜
