3 things I dislike in people... This is where my tolerance runs short.
I often come across discussions about human behavior and lifestyle and there are moments when I've taken stance against some people's way of life because I dislike that and I wouldn't want to associate with people that has that lifestyle.
This dislike for some things about people doesn't have anything to do with hate. In fact, I believe it's not okay to hate anyone... Not even your enemies. However, there are certain things I genuinely dislike and I start by making sure I don't do any of those things.
In my experience, I've noticed that this isn't an easy thing to do. It takes a great deal of sacrifice to say "I won't ever do this" and genuinely stick to not doing that. That has been my experience since I decided that I won't tell a lie. There have been situations where lying felt like the easy way out. Yet, I chose to do otherwise.
For the rest of this post, I will be highlighting 3 things that I dislike in people;
1. Being Irresponsible for Yourself and your Family.
I like to talk about this because I've seen what happens when people avoid or ignore their responsibilities. I've also seen what happens at the extreme level when people do things without being open to take responsibility for the outcome of what they did. It's a problem that a lot of people are dealing with individually and their irresponsible lifestyle causes massive ripple effects.
Irresponsible people would rather sit back and blame the world for the things going wrong in their lives instead of taking up responsibilities that will help them create a better life for themselves. These same people would always do a very poor job when given any responsibility. They don't particularly do a good job as a parent and they display incompetence in their workplace.
2. Dishonesty.
I genuinely believe that people face 100% consequences for being dishonest to themselves and in their dealings with people. Sometimes, they think they are getting away with their dishonesty because they are not seeing any immediate consequence for that. However, give it enough time and you will start suffering the consequences of your dishonesty.
I've dealt with people who have a tendency to tell lies even when the situation just doesn't call for it. They lie about who they are, their opinions, their experience, and whatnot. People like that say "I had to lie because I didn't have a choice". Well, try lying to yourself or to your intimate partner. How is that helpful? It sure isn't, but people will still lie.
3. People who can't think for themselves.
A lot of adults do not have their own opinions about anything going on around them. They don't think for themselves about what's right or wrong for them, their kids, or the society at large. They only do things because "they are told to do so". They spread hateful comments about someone online because "they read that this person is bad" and they hate a particular religion because they were told that any religion other than theirs is wrong and shouldn't exist.
You know people like that, right? They can be quite loud when voicing out the garbage they are fed by the Media, their religious leaders, and some other folks who they listen to. I dislike it when people fail to really think about things before acting on them. I've seen people go down a really bad road because of that attitude.
Since I already know what I think about people who have the mentioned lifestyle, I always try to be open to taking responsibility, living an honest life, and thinking before saying or acting on things.

I really find it difficult to deal with someone who doesn't think for themselves. It doesn't speak well of them as a grown individual and many people today have such a trait.
That's very true and I've seen this cause a huge mess in so many marriages. People like that speak like empty vessels because everything they are saying are using bland and lacks substance.
Sadly, many think that it's the cool way of life.
I think that those 3 are very problematic characteristics but they are found around for sure. It is bad still that people are so focused in theirselves.
True. These things seem self-evident as attitudes that shouldn't be adopted by folks. Yet, a lot of people live like that and it's not exactly interesting to do anything with them.
Some people are just old, not mature. As an adult,you should have the common sense to know right from wrong. That’s what separates you from the kids.
That's true. Being an adult comes with responsibilities. Making effort to think about what's right or wrong is one of those responsibilities.
Well said!
Just like you, I also don't like people who can't take decisions on their own or think by themselves, it's kind of irritating and makes me wonder people depends on others for almost everything they want to do.
True. A lot of people have that level of dependency to the point where they read things online and they take it as the gospel truth without thinking about the validity of what they are getting fed.
People that can't think for themselves are not inspiring to be around.
I hate when someone doesn't think for themselves, as an adult you should know what's right and wrong for you or your children.
Very true. Parents need to be able to think for themselves especially when they have duty of care over kids.
Just like we have different varieties of fruit, in the same way we have different varieties of humans. We have those who would gladly accept their responsibility and those who would do anything to avoid fulfilling their duties but yet they are still called humans, is that not ironic?
Well some people don't believe that they are capable of making the right decisions for themselves, so they prefer to rely on others for decision making like a life support machine.
Dishonesty you say, it is a plague that is rampaging through every corners of earth, depriving humanity if its essence. These days it has become more difficult to see people with the attribute of honesty, it is starting to feel like good ones are yet to be born.

True. These attributes seem self-evident and are worth having. However, it's quite disturbing to see that many people do not really make any effort to take responsibility for their life, think for themselves or show honesty in their actions.
One thing I have learnt about people is that being responsible is not seen as a necessity by everyone, some people consider it as an option.
I apologize for the late response 🤗

STOPPeople who aren't responsible for themselves and their families tend to be a liability to humanity. They blame others for their woes. They spend more time complaining about life than doing something to make their lives better.
Talking about dishonesty, the problem is so prevalent to the extent that if you are not dishonest in some instances, people blame you for it. It has become the norm, unfortunately. Only a few keep their heads high to remain honest.
#dreemerforlife
Exactly. The society has made a trend out of dishonesty and it's pushed to the extreme where people are getting punished for being honest. It's so sad to be exposed to that side of the society.
That's why it's rare to see folks who are still honest. When I see people like that, I respect them because I know it's not an easy thing to do
It's not an easy thing truly. They deserve some accolades.
A lot of people exhibit how irresponsible they are through their actions. Rather than finding the solution to a problem, they are more interested in who caused the problem, eager to apportion blames.
I hate it when people lie about some things about themselves, either to impress or look superior to others. I find it hard to believe whatever the person says, with the fear that there will surely be an atom of lie in it.
#Dreemerforlife.
A lot of people have heard so much about the negative effects of lies and why lying is a bad choice when dealing with people. Yet, they tell lies repeatedly and each lie begets more lies.
I agree with these things you have listed. There is no doubt that as humans we are prone to make mistakes but taking responsibilities for our actions would help us learn a great deal.
But I guess some people would rather blame others than admitting their own faults
#dreemerforlife
That's true. Some people would rather shift responsibilities and put the blame on others for their own actions.
People like that hardly learn from their mistakes.
A lot of fake people living fake lives! Lies, lies and more lies to cover up. It is unfortunate that we do come across people with such negative lifestyles you mentioned. Let's just keep being the light.
True. A lot of people know what's right. Yet, they choose to live a life filled with lies. People like that make it really tough to trust what people say.
