On the (mis)attribution of idiosyncracies

Mar 11, 2006 16:38

People seem really eager to dismiss my idiosyncratic behaviors- specifically, those that differ drastically from their own behaviors- as merely symptoms or "excuses" for underlying neuroses and character defects ( Read more... )

life, ruminations

Yeah, just what we were saying!!

Note: The last paragraph has a distinctly different style...on purpose??

yea. i've been exploring the idea of disintegration, in everything that i do/say/write/am. that's a tactic jill and i as the pathological upstagers have been using a lot. i'm finding it quite effective in conveying chaos without completely alienating people.

plus i was just pissed about it; the other paragraphs were a facade.

You'll have to excuse my brain before reading this paragraph, it isn't in working mode at the moment:

That sounds annoying...er...I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about though, it's so abstract. It seems that you're referring to some specifics that you don't really want to mention. Reading it gave me an idea, however, for the truthexperiment--weird things like that happen, and we want to try to bring them out into the open so that people realize the ridiculousness (ridiculosity?) of what they're doing. Like those passive-aggressive things that people do because they expect you to realize that you've broken one of their imaginary rules that they think are universal, and you should feel very guilty! But of course they won't come right out and TELL you. Also, people making up theories about why you are a certain way don't bother to ask you first, do they.

OK that didn't make much sense.

yea, you're right, i didn't want to make specific references in case "certain people" were reading. :)

sorry that whole truthexperiment project didn't take off like we thought it would- things got really nuts here. (senior project! &c.)

i like that idea. the problem i have is, if i call people out on it while it's happening, i tend to just be really aggravated and defensive and then i can't communicate well anyway.

but one idea could be to take note of people's stupid ideas about you, then totally contradict them the next day.
