I never noticed it until someone pointed it out for me, and now I’m having a weird realization. I’ve been reflecting on times where I said antagonizing things to people, roasted them, or was generally unprofessional at work/school in the way I talked with everyone. Yet no one seemed to take offense? Ever? I used to make fun of one of the strictest teachers in my high school and he used to laugh at it, say something snarky back…etc, but I know if anyone else talked to him like that they’d get in trouble. First week into my job I told the head department that his project planning structure is “peak boomer behavior” and he just laughed and said I should print that on a shirt? Next door to my office was a guy (I didn’t know his position, turns out he’s a seriously high ranking manager) who used to cuss on the phone. I wrote on the dry erase board in our office suite “days since Matt last cursed: 0” HE STARTED UPDATING THE SCORE AND THOUGHT IT WAS HILARIOUS. I started a martial art and the school master is a highly respected coach that won championships and trained military in three countries, everyone called him Master, revered him, and bowed to him. I accidentally called him homie once and would genuinely say things that raised eyebrows at him. Now he treats me like his daughter? I’ve gone my whole life thinking I’m a nice person but the more I think about it the more I see how my interactions with people were not very nice, yet I’ve never even been told off? I USED TO EMAIL MY PROFESSORS IN MEMES AND THEY LIKED IT?! For reference I’m 29, so it’s not like this is coming from a kid and it’s cute or anything. Idk if no one is taking me seriously, or if everyone secretly thinks I’m insufferable but plays along to shut me up…
