I Just Came to the Realization

I just came to the realization that I don't like people.

a) I dislike people who lack substance.

b) I dislike people who are disrespectful.

c) I dislike people who are arrogant or ignorant.

d) I dislike people who get in my way.

Aside from the members of my family to whom I am closest, my circle of friends, my professional mentors and colleagues, and my blogger fam of course. There are few people who can meet my approval. It's not arrogance, conceitedness, or cockiness on my part. It's that I made a conscious decision to eliminate dead weight from my life. I cannot be weighed down, there's just too much to do.

Maybe it's because I have pretty high standards.

Or maybe it's what may very well be a weaknesses of mine.

That possible weakness: writing people off.

It's not that I make assumptions.

It's really that I use information I have: how you act around me, but more importantly how you act towards me, to make a judgement call. If I disapprove, you're X'ed. You're out, out of my life. I refuse to add chaos to my life.

It seems people therefore think that my being no nonsense equals hostility. I am not hostile. I am actually quite friendly. I like to smile. But I have a serious face...it says seriously don't F with me.
