This is a post about not being lazy when inviting to a meeting, because it's disrespectful. It then goes on to quote a comedian saying > Them: tells you to say/do something > Louis: Fuck you, I don’t have to do anything! It sounds like OP is not strong enough to improve the terms of engagement (e.g. just send them a Calendly/Calendar link to help them book,) and has intrusive thoughts about being disrespectful back instead. OP needs to find her/his way of saying "yes, on my terms" without feeling like it's a chore. That might be with a Calendly link, or setting a weekly quota on extra-professional meetings, or simply saying "no" if the subject isn't meeting some bar. Explaining that your inner desire is to ask people to fuck off because they're interested in you, but are themselves busy, isn't exactly flooding with respect. If this happens often, then just say a simple "sorry, no" to most and free up your time to politely say "yes, let me help you" to the remaining few. That's what the rest of us do. You can't help everyone, and if you're becoming an asshole for it, you're not going to be helping anyone. The Stoic philosophy separates what you can change from what you can't change, and asks you to focus on the latter. Changing other people who just met you is going to be annoyingly hard, as OP has discovered. Out of the eight billion people on Earth, there's always someone new to say no to. Instead, focus on changes you can make to yourself to simplify the interaction. For some, that might be hiring a secretary. Or just use Calendly. However, I could also read this piece as bragging about how popular OP is, which would be inviting even more people to want a meeting. I think the result of such a post will be more ruthless people sending invitations, and fewer of the respectful people sending invitations. The opposite of what OP wants. YMMV. Hopefully.
