You are not that special

  1. "But do not get the idea you're anything special. Because you're not."

    Uhmnnn... too late for that.

    "being special" in pop psychology probably had its roots in poor self esteem. Little Johnny isn't doing well in school because he has poor self esteem. (Do you realize that teachers are still putting 'good job" stickers - fn stickers of dinosaurs or whatever on HW assignments in 10th grade-wtf is up wid that?). Grading in red pen will hurt Johnny's feelings - boo fucking hoo.


    Ditto on the girls, poor self esteem = not assertive. Girls eat this shit up, they love feeling and being treated as special, and now they have too much self esteem. Get it? Too much self esteem, now it's the girls who are the bullies. Very assertive, and very very special.

    -------------------------

    The problem with all of this is everyone expects a cookie for doing what they are supposed to do.

    Or

    They show up for work ten minutes late and you bitch them out and they say "At least I showed up" Wtf is that for an answer?
