Yes, I guess you could say I am Christian. I am definitely not super religious by any stretch of the imagination and most people are surprised that I go to church based on my actions.

Here is a few examples of what I do:

-Someone I know goes to an average school out East and lives on campus. The family does not have a lot of money and I think she should live at home and go to a local university which are arguably better schools and would cost significantly less. I always feel to need to criticize her school and the decision to go there to people I know.

-A few people I know with so-so grades are planning to go to elite law schools which I very highly doubt they will get into. I don't say anything to them but I will make snide remarks behind there back about how they have no chance of getting into those schools.

-If someone comes to me with a business idea they are thinking of pursing, I will be the first person to jump all over it and tell them it has no chance of being successful.

im extremely cynical about peoples motivations, especially at work. struggle to bite my tongue when there are obvious political motivations which are probably not the best for the business.

trying to put a lid on it and be more positive about things. i just cant help but think that people who are always positive are morons.

Wow.

No offense, and I don't know you at all nor am I judging you, but you seem like a major debbie-downer and in the most extreme case, a douche.

Talking behind people's backs? Criticizing other people's choices? That all screams insecurity to me.

But I'm glad you're not afraid of posting those examples up. Kudos on that.

Recently I woke up from being as all my family is.

A passive agressive personality disorder of the kind of negationist.

I never heard anything positive by them , only negative as she is ugly ,thar car is bad etc.

Finally and thanks God I woke up from the nightmare.

Oh we are similar. Do a research about passive agressive negationist personallity disorder on DSM .

That book is very poor.

I also recommend this book that helped me a lot when I ruined, used to live in a luxury world.

Anxiety for status. by a french author that has been awarded a lot.

It helps to see that a lot of our snobish things are useless.

I'm snarky on internet forums because it's all the rave ...

But outside of this fake universe I'm a positive person in general and will apologize to someone if I notice I'm in a bad mood and being a pain ********** to deal with.

I used to not notice that at all and life is a lot easier now that I kind of assess where my head is at a bunch of different times during the day.

Having a successful career is great, but it's only one form of success.

Why do you feel a need to talk about other peoples "dumb" choices behind their backs?
