I used to be a real jerk.
I'd spend my days telling everyone just how GREAT I am, how I had all the answers for them and of course, how I had this miraculous ability to make people NOTORIOUSLY RICH and FAMOUS, if you merely subscribed to all my blogs, emails and biz opps!
Then one day I woke up.
My girlfriend had left me, my bills were all way overdue, I was about to get kicked out of my apartment, my dog kept peeing on my leg and I'd finally lost my voice from blatently shouting about myself everytime something moved.
This just so happened to be right around the time my friends list I'd worked so hard to build shrunk from the massive 1247 people, down to 9 women...who for some strange all wore thongs, had handlebar mustaches, and usernames that started with 'Madam' or 'lady'?!?
I just couldn't understand what was happening! Why did everyone hate me? They we're supposed to LOVE ME AND ALL MY WORK.....I mean shit! I told them all how great I was!!! What else could I do?
I could not give up....
Before I knew it, I'd joined another social network...this one a little different than any I'd ever joined before but there I was, doing all the same things I normally did, until this dude came along and told me my profile SUCKED!
HOW DARE HE?!? Thats when I went TOTALLY NUTS on him.....SLAMMING the Keys on my key board I tore right into him, telling him just How and What he sucked....Carefully informed him what a LOSER he was and how he had to pick at postive people like me to feel better about himself....Heck, I even proceeded to bring his mother into it!
You know what he told me?
He said "Dude, I'm sorry you feel that way. But thats Your problem. I'd be more than willing to provide you with some tips on etiquette and HOW TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH TRUE FRIENDS WHO WILL DO ALMOST ANYTHING FOR YOU, but you will have to put your ego, know it all attitude and lame-ass opportunities aside and learn to respect people and their wishes. Let me know."
P.S. If you ever, EVER bring my mother into this or any other little 'situation' ever again, I will find you and rip your ******* ***** off! I know people and I will find you. Have a nice day.
It's been a long road since that fateful day, but let me tell you...I'm glad I took his advice, it's nice to have real friends...and even nicer to still have my *****!
Take it from me, don't just come here and slap up a 'link farm' profile! AND NEVER SEND YOUR "FRIENDS" JUNK MASS EMAILS OFFERS WHEN YOU HAVEN"T EVEN TAKEN 30 MEASLY SECONDS TO GET TO KNOW THEM THE LITTLEST BIT!
Instead, get to know people...create impressions that'll last a lifetime. LISTEN to others before you give them advice...find out if they even want any! Give credit where it's due, and own up to your actions.....God, this is all so elementary....Just be a better person, maybe people will want to know who you are and what you're about.....
