Ever try to say hello to someone who is so righteous in their misery, that they get mad at you? The simple gesture of saying hello just pisses them off. Their attitude is: why are “you” even speaking to me! They are so miserable with their lives that they feel you need their permission just to look at them, much less speak to them. I have a person like this at my current employer. It’s obvious they are in pain and not happy with their life. I’d love to help them out, I’ve been there myself, but this person’s misery seems very important to them? It’s like their whole identity is wrapped up in feeling this way and they seem to have no concept on how to feel any way else. Myself, I talk to them just because it pisses them off and I hope to start a conversation with them. Perhaps that makes me a nice person, or just a dick, but I gotta give it a try.
