Some just don't respect nice people. Only thing they seem to respect is a good ass whoopin'. No, not saying you should kick his ass, but that isthe only thing he'd respect.

i know you from words on a messageboard, so i really can't say. people can take on any persona they like. that said, you sound like you have the answers yourself:

Sinister said:

dude, you dunked on him.

people react to things differently. people hate on me, too. my motto is: "i won't carry your baggage for you".

Dude, I don't even know you personally but IMO just you pondering the question tells me you're not arrogant or cocky. It's very cool of you to observe the phenomenon & not instantly chalk it up to "fuck them!" or "they're jealous" or whatever, but really wanna know why the shit is happening.

I've had times when I've run into old friends or co-workers who I've always been nothing but nice to. I'm nice & enthusiastic when I see them but not only are they dry, they're downright dismissive - it's pretty odd. Then I'd worry myself wondering why they'd react to me like that & a friend told me something that stuck w/ me: "Sometimes, muufuckas are just high & trippin'!" Me not partaking in that stuff myself forgot about that factor. And other times people are just swimming in their own shit & (unfortunately) taking it out on you

I dunno, I just always try to blow it out of my mind whenever I have strange vibes from folks for no good reason. Try not to take it personally - everybody's got their issues to get over. You may represent some unresolved issue for these guys (and notice, it's all guys - that's a big clue). It ain't you... get dat dirt off ya shoulder & dunk on that fool!

Sinister you are kewl, so relax. Take deep breaths and let it go

That used to happen to me, too.

But unfortunately, I kept lettin it get to me and kept thinkin that I was the problem until I realized that THEY were the ones with the problems.

I'm saying, people who usually do that shit is not only jealous, but too punked to act mature and deal with those feelings rationally, which also reflects insecurities of their own flaws. So, they take those feelings out on the one person who seems to stand out, or who seems to be "competition" for them. So no, it's not necessarily you, and by what I've seen here, you don't come off as cocky or anything of that nature. I really enjoy your posts But as I was saying, that's the way it is with people. It's shitty, but that's the way it always is.

I used to be a vindictive person (sometimes I still am). When people picked fights with me, I'd give 'em what they want and then some. When people would play pranks or just start shit, I'd give 'em hell (you better believe it ) But I soon learned that meekness is always a good weapon. Next time someone gives ya hell, kill 'em with kindness. Even if it sometimes kills ya, lol! Eventually, you'll get the respect you deserve. Besides bein' evil, that's all you can do anyway!

I'm out to get you...


































Let's do lunch one day.

People are usually weird with other people through jealousy. Ignore them.
