Ooh. I am with you on this one Amy.

Got one word for you.

Pagans.

Not all of them, I admit. But half of them walk around with this great big persecution complex, like everyone is trying to tie them up and burn them on the stake. When a bunch of fundamentalist over-the-top Christians get a little aggro, they run around like headless chickens screaming about how they are being picked on. So annoying.

It's like Ali G once said : "Iz it cos I iz black?"



Whining moany people get on my nerves. There aren't that many adults that walk around being prejudiced these days. I have never been treated differently because I am not a size 6 model type. Most people don't like me because of my personality and then some people do. It's just a matter of life that you will clash with folks. Unfortunately those with a persecution complex seem to think the whole world is against them. Do they do anything about it? No. They run around attention seeking. It's obviously not just pagans...there are people like that in every sub section of life.



They *are* the most annoying type of people.

O my gosh, you and I agree on something??!

*faints*

I think it could be a case of you agreeing with me. After all, it is about annoying people...

Oooh, always turning it towards yourself... my next forum will be about megalomania.

And the whole paranoia bolstered up with some watertight circular arguments and pseudo-historical constructs made up of facts ruthlessly torn out of any context, laced with double standards, and the whole regurgitated again and again like a record with a crack... at unconscionable lenght... ...yes i met that sort of people, is that obvious?

Not at all.

oh i'm glad! otherwise i might be thought paranoid myself. Paranoid about paranoids. Would that afliction be called paranoiaphobia?

I myself (in person) have never felt persecuted. I was picked on at school because I was blind in one eye and got called the usual inane names (Deadeye Dick, Cyclops, etc) but these frankly bored me due to their lack of originality. A friend nicknamed me Odin, but that was fine because it showed a glimmer of intelligence, and he was a friend!

I suppose a lot of the problem stems from what sort of person you are (genetically, mentally, etc.), what your homelife was like, whether there were serious social problems in the area you grew up in, and so on.

Perhaps I have been lucky?

Says it all really. Even if you start with quite stable people with the ability to laugh at themselves, they can end up pretty messed up if enough people treat them badly enough. The resulting insecurity can lead to such things as:
Paranoia.
Shyness.
Stuttering.
Lack of self-confidence, particularly in the area of persecution.
Attempting to displace the feelings of insecurity onto others.
Extreme egotism in an attempt to compensate.
Indecisiveness.

There are people who get constantly mocked by everyone from their parents down throughout their childhood. Imagine the sort of effect that can have on a person. Have a little compassion. Even if you do find the whining annoying.

Stuttering is a hallmark of insecurity? Indecisiveness as well?


That explains a lot then.

Only in cliché. Plenty of people stutter who are not insecure - at least not for reasons originally discussed in this thread, just as plenty of people who are insecure do not stutter.

But it explains a lot about myself, thus being the whole drift of my statement.

I know. I was trying to debunk it... not allow you to think badly of yourself.

Try being the operative word here.

It's being one of "those" days. Bah. *hides in a corner*

Oh, great....


Now *you're* starting to feel persecuted...

Sneaks up on you sometimes!

No, it's just being a Sodit/Monday.

And it's rainy and cold. Blah.

And.....Goodness Sakes, the weather is certainly NOT your fault!
Really.








just kidding!
