Admirable Qualities I Would Like To Develop
« on: September 05, 2017, 11:10:04 am »
If possible, I would like to develop the ability to feel miserable while maintaining a somewhat easy going manner.   In other words, I do not want to resist the misery I feel, and at the same time, I do not want to be mean-spirited towards those who have programmed themselves into "being happy."

Is this possible? 

When someone says, "How are you?"

I want to be able to respond (with a grin), "Utterly miserable."

I am just a poor deaf-mute bastard

Only,if the person who put that question happened to be a extremely extroverted, talkative gort,which is highly likely,he would not let it go at that.
He would come up with all sorts of follow up questions to pester one. Better to play dumb and deaf.

I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes. That way I wouldn't have to have any goddam stupid useless conversations with anybody. If anybody wanted to tell me something, they'd have to write it on a piece of paper and shove it over to me. They'd get bored as hell doing that after a while, and then I'd be through with having conversations for the rest of my life. Everybody'd think I was just a poor deaf-mute bastard and they'd leave me alone . . . I'd cook all my own food..

Hentrich,
I have problems with my PC.
In English you use the word “mourning” where you can confuse for “morning”.
A:   Good morning.
B:   Mourning.
I would like to say hello to everybody with a big smile like the Joker in Batman. I would like to wear a mask all day. I am afraid that is not possible.
My social skills are very limited. I do not say hello to many here while others do not say hello to me either.  They already marked me as a ruined person. So I find difficult to avoid being “mean-spirited” to my fellow human beings. Someone told me that my nickname could be “Mister Bitter”. I am a “social” murderer. In 1996 I saw Cable Guy with Jim Carrey and in one scene in a karaoke he sings  these lines by Jefferson Airplane´s Somebody to love:  “when the truth is found to be lies and all the joy within you dies”. That´s it. No joy within me.
