Meanspiritedness

People never get in your head. No more of this "I'm in your head shit." This-and-that and mind games. Never mind "I'm a cat and you're the mouse, so run run run."

BS. It's what people do when they want to blow up a situation to be bigger than it is. Drama.

If a person was "in your head" they would understand why you understood the world as you did. They would know something of your history, motivations to a point that they would have sympathy and maybe even empathy for you. None of this "I'm in your head" shit "to knock around your brain." No. If they knew you, they would have mercy for you. If they had to fight you in a boxing match, they would punch with the upmost respect, and only punch because that's their living--to punch and get punched--and you share that living. None of that headbutting, cheating.

So when people come at you in an aggressive, and/or, selfish, and/or antisocial manner, they come at you from what is a detached mental condition. They are distant from your motives, from your history, and this distance can be achieved from either ignorance or aloofness. Actually, a combination of ignorance and aloofness, usually.

Instead of a burglar, people shooting evil juju at you are more like the annoying kids who run up to your door and knock on the door, and hide away. You had happened to be washing dishes, and left the sink on while you opened the door to find no one there.

Then you shut the door, and "no one" knocks again and hides again. And then you open the door again. They are at the side of the house to rap on the window. You check the window. They rap the window on the other side of the house. You check. They knock on the backdoor. You check. They knock on front door. You check.

They knock here. You check. They knock there. You check.

They knock here. They knock there. They knock here. They knock there.

You check. You check. You check.

And now, when you were checking, you're distracted from washing dishes. Instead, running around the house, accidental knocking a chair over, breaking the TV, accidentally knocking over the dishes, hitting the wall frustrated, letting the sink overflow because you're frustrated.
And you caused the damage. The kids didn't break your stuff. The kids may have made noises outside; yet, staying outside the entire time. You broke your stuff. You kept running at their knocking, and forgot to take care of your house.
