Do you despise dishonesty? How about disloyalty? You get the idea...
There are a few! My partner & I had this discussion about egomaniacs on our mini road trip last night, so right now, I'd say people who are so egotistical that you can't even be around them -- they always have to one-up you or be "above" and better in every single thing, they like to belittle you either outright or in subtle, but hurtful ways, they often demean people to feel better about themselves, they are rude, hasty and just damn hard to even be around! YOU CANNOT say anything to them without them having to correct or put you down in some way. And if they aren't doing those things, they are manipulating their way to be the center of everybody's attention.
Egotistical people are just draining, exhausting and sometimes easily offended or upset at you if you ever show any signs of being good at something. Nobody can be "better" than them or else. Shit will hit the fan.
People who their entire world revolves around an image. This also could be described as egotistical, I guess. But I know two people in particular who are like this. One is ten times worse than the other -- their WORLD literally revolves around their image. They spend hours in front of the mirror - no joke, even if it's at someone else's house right in front of them! They'll pull his shirt up right in front of everybody, examine themself, and for hours on end talk about a "flaw" they hate and want removed. If they aren't doing that, they're spending so much time in the bathroom that everyone else at the place has to find another home for their urine... or ... Lol.
And when they do come out of the bathroom, they're back to the mirror or talking. About themself, no less. Constantly. It's actually gotten to the point to where it's like they do not realize a whole world even exists outside of their and only their image anymore!! It's unbelievable. They want desperately for us and other friends to think they are on drugs & has even asked me if they could have a syringe to make the other friends think they're "shootin' up." Yea. Not very smart. And to put the icing on the cake -- they're mean to animals! Even Mine! Arrrr! It started to concern me.
Anyways, so those types of people -- egotistical people who could care less about you, but want you to do nothing but pay them all the attention in the world (even if you're at work, looking at their "stretch marks" & telling them how bad they look or how barely there they are is far more important). He does not even look me in the face when talking to me anymore. He looks in the F**** mirror & I am not even joking! He watches himself talk while he's actually talking to ME! He'll make all these weird faces & he doesn't even realize I'm seeing it, it seems like.
He's just totally lost touch with reality & this is one characteristic about people that makes me frustrated. Try talking about something a recent book you read (I tried that, it was a book he'd read too, so I thought he'd be interested in conversating about it) and no. He'll say "does my hair look bad?" While you are asking him something. It's unreal. My partner and I are looking for ways to break the news to him that there is a whole world out there that is loads of fun, and it does have mirrors too! Lol.
Those are just on my mind at the current moment or else I'd probably have answered with something like "misogynistic assholes," which are really the worst for me. But characteristics in people who are just super, extremely overly self-centered really make me disappointed & frustrated. People who are hateful to others, or treat people or animals badly, they just downright piss me off. I too despise people who are mean to others, especially when the person isn't able to stand up for themselves, or when someone talks nastily about someone for NO reason at all when the person isn't AROUND to defend themselves. That's not very nice. If you have something to say about someone, fine. But if you say something hurtful, or mean about another person who's done nothing to you, then you have bigger problems than your ugly words. Sorry. I'm saying "you," but am not in any way talking about you, my darling Wicked. I just get going and well, you know! This girl never shuts up. Hahaha.
There's more though. I really dislike when people do things that belittle any other person. Oh don't even get me started on objectification or women are less than. Lol. That type of thing pisses me off. I recently read some post by Men 4 Modesty (an organization or group or something) that infuriated me! They basically said all men have no ability to control lustful desires about women, so we girls should not wear shorts and certain tops because we cause them to go down the wrong path and be unfaithful or unpure!" That type of idea being spread or someone who really does blame women for things like this is someone I cannot be around, and it isn't often that I just can't be around someone. I dislike it for 2 reasons: because ideas such as those or the spreading of those ideas make men out to be these monsterous, uncontrollable creatures who we should fear, when not all men are even like that. And 2. because damnit! I like my shorts & once it hits 85 degrees out, I am not sweating in jeans. Shorts it is & it is NOT our fault if we do nothing to purposefully make a man touch us or something. It upsets me because it reminds me of the saying that rape victims who wore a skirt got what they deserved. That's one reason it upsets me.
Well, those are the main types of characteristics I really can't stand. Oh, one more. Sorry. Users! Oh dear how I can't stand users. It hurts my feelings to see people used or to be used.
