You're Almost Definitely More of a Jerk Than You Think You Are
- gothack 7y agoWanna make people who suffer with mental health issues, imposter syndrome, and self image issues feel instantly crappy? Write a headline like that.
- coldtea 7y agoThey still might be more of a jerk than they think. Someone with self image issues might still treat others miserably, for example...
- kpU8efre7r 7y agoSucks to be them. I don't care.
- drannex 7y agoGood.
- thsealienbstrds 7y agoI really hope that's not true.
- mft_ 7y agoI found this an odd article to read. Some of it seemed exceptionally interesting and insightful, while other parts felt very /r/iam14andthisisdeep. (Maybe my jerkish fraction failed to empathise with some parts!)
- lunias 7y agoThat's like, your opinion, man. Maybe stop being a jerk and try and see things from my perspective... I think a jerk is just someone who evades / sabotages communication efforts around the analysis of a given action. Or someone who knowingly holds onto bad assumptions in the presence of new information. The first line of defense against jerks is communication. It seems that more jerks emerge when communication is stifled and mutual understanding is never reached.
- fargle 7y agoUm, but the author surely is exempt, right? I mean he very clearly thinks he's right about all those "Jerks" being kind of over-inflated. If he's right, then the very best, very most creative and correct people who have vision and the most (deserved) self-confidence are still "Jerks" if they recognize that any of their peers are bloom'in idjits. And the bloom'in people taking pot-shots at them, like this author, are then "Not Jerks"... right... got it. So unless everyone is exactly equal in worth, nearly everybody with awareness is a "Jerk", and many, but not all, of them are wrong.
