NOTES TO MYSELF

PSYCHOLOGICAL AGE

CLASS

[tight corners] - The intentional infliction of emotional distress ... '''Actions that would humiliate, torment, threaten, intimidate, pressure, demean, frighten, outrage or injure a reasonable person are actions that can be said to injure an individual's dignitary interests and, if sufficiently severe, can give rise to causes of action in tort,' Ehrenreich writes." (New York Times Magazine, October 13, 2002) These people are trying to provoke you into shocking yourself, often by sabotage ... telling you one thing to conceal something else - They don't separate observations from abstractions - They want people to be dead little porkers - You're not supposed to talk about their observations, and you're simply expected to absorb their abstractions - You have to apply the reverse of sabotage, that is, "Become your own secret friend."

"I didn't see you over here this morning ... I'm sitting over there."

—God knows!

—I bet it's nice.

"You know, Roget, you're a penis." [Student to a teacher]

—Yeah, sure.

"You can't navigate it. I'm the driver. Shut up!"

—God knows!

—It means you're holding on to something ... How to have the nerve to be ... How to throw a toot and laugh.

"Hi! On the verbal abuse page, you added quite a lot of what appears to be either unsourced assertions or original research. Please take a look at those two links, but in a nutshell, articles on Wikipedia need to be cited, and articles must be non-original research. I've left the statements that appear to be backed up by Elgin's article at HowStuffWorks. Tlesher 03:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)" [This unabridged article on "Verbal Abuse" first appeared on Wikipedia; a few hours later, most of it was deleted]

["So what are we?"] "Not to give us a title yet, but I am yours and you are mine."

—Yeah, sure.

—On ice.

[Someone erasing comments to say, "Hi and I am always thinking of you," from their website, and not returning your phone calls, calling you, "that girl nicole" blah blah "she's my friend" and what not]

—God knows!

—There's nothing worse than a lot of people thinking something's good, because it usually isn't.

"Next time, you stop at a red light! I'm going to remember you!" [From a wacky pedestrian]

—It's chilling.

—Where is the spark of light? I know, on top of the Christmas tree. ELEVATE YOUR SPIRIT! So how long can this last?

"You know, I knew two guys ... They went down to the railroad tracks, and a train ran over one of them ... What do you think about that?" [They probe to see if you're scared by their shit]

—The world is my womb — I'll open it with my head.

"According to the Canada Safety Council: A workplace bully subjects the target to unjustified criticism and trivial faultfinding. In addition, he or she humiliates the target, especially in front of others, and ignores, overrules, isolates and excludes the target. Regardless of specific tactics, the intimidation is driven by the bully's need to control others."

—Yeah, sure.

—You know, I feel there are natives in the Po-Po River Valley who could use the money.

"Bullies' expectations may also change constantly, without warning, yet employees are still, somehow, required to recognize and meet those expectations. While bullies may be motivated by an array of needs, one that they, by definition, all share is the need to control others, whether by verbal abuse, physical actions or some combination of the two."

—It's chilling.

—The communication level is totally nonverbal.

(–Center for relationship abuse awareness)

—It's chilling.

"'Catch it low to prevent it high' focuses on the critical but often ignored problem of low-level aggression."

—Yeah, sure.

—It's a lot better than sucking off Jesus ... That's it ... You're not going in the woods anymore ... It's as good an explanation as any ... It's easy to steal cars ... Watch out for people trying to take your attention ... It may just hang there like a low cloud ... There's no ceiling ... All they do is chew things up ... There's nothing fresh ... Dude, why are you talking to this guy this way? ... Look at you ... In a few years, you'll be asking him for money ... Do you see how much variety there is in this?

"Do I need this advice?"

—God knows!

—Who needs teeth?

"It's not your lucky day."

—God knows!

—It's just underneath everything.

REFLECTIONS

God's Gifts, Angling & Spilt Milk

I was exposed to little girls doing strip shows from the time I was five years old, a tough act to curb as an adult. In general, children are not self-critical, and the swift, kind way to stop a person from being "on the dog" is to hurt their feelings. For instance, one time a little girl danced across my path in a friend's kitchen singing, "I like to fuck!" for my ears alone.

—Yeah, sure.

—No way! I'm straight and you're ugly.

 

You really have to hurt their feelings. Another time a pretty little Black girl in the Mission District approached my taxi and asked, "Do you want to date?"

—God knows!

—I don't know if you're ready for that.

 

Young people and hookers freely interchange "date," "party," and "copulate."

I guess people in general equate parties with a sexual rendezvous, on one level or another, so when someone you didn't invite asks, "What time is the party?" you really have to hurt their feelings.

—Yeah, sure.

—Don't come!

 

On the other hand, if another person hurts your feelings by brutally mistreating God's gifts, for instance, when a man takes off your shirt and says, "You've got small tits," simply say,

—No rules.

—Love is something small.

GROWTH

People feel life is a tight corner
that's difficult to turn around in.

They're trained.

Advertising makes it worse.

The funny thing is,
if you like yourself
when you're doing anything,
then you can grow.
