Would you all just stop telling me I look tired or down? I’m sorry I do but it’s not something I can help or police every minute and it cuts my self esteem to always be told I look tired. I’m trying here, I walk around with a smile (albeit not totally sincere) most of the time. I could spend the time explaining why I’m tired (court battles, full-time student, part-time job, et cetera) but the truth is nobody cares and it just brings people down to explain it. And that’s alright. It’s the human condition, nobody ever really gives a shit about anyone else and if you think they do odds are they want something from you. So the next time you’re tempted to tell someone they look tired or whatever, think of a complement and tell them that instead. It’ll make their day a little brighter and their spirit a little less tired. —Too Tired

  1. it is no ones business but your own. tell those that keep bugging you just to fuck off. whether tired, run down, or just blahs, that is youer own affair.

  2. Telling someone they look tired is just a nice way of saying “you look like shit”. Hope things pick up for you soon, OP. 🙂

  3. Suck it up OP!! Nobody likes whiners and looking unhappy will not be tolerated. So lift that chin, show those teeth and put a fucking smile on your face! NOW!!!

  4. Punch them in the mouth 🙂 and in the eye.. Betcha they will see how lively you are then.. and they will also look tired themselves when their eyes are swollen shut. There is always a way to make someone eat their words when you incorporate violence 🙂

  5. There are people out there that do listen to others problems. Why? Because just getting something off your chest and knowing that the person your talking to is hearing you is a huge energy boost. My grandfather used to tell me that God gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth for a reason. A shit load of people will never understand that. I hear ya. Best of luck.

  6. All the donkeys around the world are descending from one species, the African Wild Ass. While the donkey population has exploded across the globe, it’s progenator has severely declined in numbers.
    Interestingly enough, jackasses are male donkeys only as male asses are called “jack”, female asses are called “jenny”.
    Mules are not donkeys, they are the children of jackasses and mares.
    Any questions?

  7. The offspring of a stallion and a jenny is called a hinny.
    And a synonym for a horse’s ass is mclean.

  8. Wow, nice comeback there mclean… lemme show you how it’s done.

    Listen here you cow…
    with all the bullshit you’ve got, you could be flagged as a terrorist.

  9. I so agree. When someone tells me I look tired or stressed I immediately feel that way. I think they call it transferrence. The feeling the person making the comment actually has and is trying to pin it on you. Like they say, misery loves company. Ignore it poster.
