Am I Just a COMPLETE asshole?

[gbrice75]

I've been this way for a long time, let me try and explain:

Generally, I find people extremely dull. I have a hard time with most conversations... because in the back of my mind, I just can't wait to get away. I can literally feel my eyes wanting to roll into the back of my head... just wanting to zone out.

This doesn't come from a place of arrogance. I don't think I'm better than others, and I don't think I'm particularly interesting either. I like to believe I'm fairly intelligent, but I know I'm not a genius who simply can't relate with the 'average Joe' - so it's not that either. I just find myself uninterested in a LOT of what people talk about... there are very few topics that 'turn me on', and even when the topic is of interest to me, it takes a certain type of person to really get me going.

This is especially true with regard to sense of humor. I've ALWAYS been a big fan of edgy, witty, inappropriate humor. I walk past people and hear their (what I consider) stupid unfunny banter/jokes, and I just roll my eyes at how unfunny and mundane they are.

I suppose it has to do with the type of humor/people I've always admired... Howard Stern (the wit moreso than the toilet humor, although I like that too), edgy/inappropriate comedians like Jim Norton, extremely intelligent/interesting comedians like George Carlin, etc. Have I become completely jaded with 'plain old' humor?

The worst part is, I'm pretty bad at masking it. I KNOW people can 'feel' / sense my boredom, and it in turn makes me uncomfortable in social situations. Further, I try to edit myself because I do realize most people won't get/like my type of humor... they'll either be offended, or it'll go over their heads. So I actually become what I am complaining about - a dullard!!!

Again, I don't mean to come off like a dick, but I'm being honest about how I feel.

PS - the way I carry myself here on the board (most of the time) isn't in line with the person I describe above. It's not that I'm being phony, but I do try and conduct myself with some level of 'professionalism' as I feel the responsibility to represent the board as such. Those of you who are friend with me on FB / outside of this board know the other side of me, lol!

[Lunk1]

Yep...complete asshole

[HORSE]

I can relate 100%....In person I hold back very little , but on the board it's harder to convey humor and intent so I tend to sensor my self for the most part....

[kelkel]

Not completely. One day you'll be successful!

[Flagg]

You seemed more mellow when you were first here.

I prefer GrittyBrice though

I have more to add but i'd rather PM you instead bud.

[gbrice75]

lol... thanks for the contributions Lunk and Kel... glad I can always count on you fella's!!

Horse - I hold back in real life too, unless I'm around the people who 'get' me. Of course, they have the same sense of humor so it's easy for me as then, I'm in my element. Other people just seem baffled by me - my comments are usually very dry and sarcastic, and they never know if I'm serious or not... some will ask, others will just walk away scratching their heads... and they probably just think I'm weird lol

[LGM]

I'm kind of the opposite; i censor myself a lot more in real life, and cut loose on the interwebs.

And no, you're not an asshole; just particular. You still have a group of friends, and presuming they'll still stand by you in times of need, they still find value in your assholioness.

I wouldn't worry about it mate; life's too short to concern yourself with what others think (outside your personal/professional circles of influence).

Now, go forth and piss off someone in the Q and A or Diet forums!

And ftr, people (like you and I) with dry senses of humor are rarely understood for our comedic genius. Which makes it all the more special when someone does appreciate it.

I guess we can ascertain then that the 'other side' has been poking through lately... GrittyBrice lmao!

Yea brother, anytime, shoot me a PM.

Lmao!! Thx brother, I appreciate the feedback... and you're right - I've ALWAYS been too caught up in what others think of me... it's sickening!

[-Ender-]

I can relate. I'd say it's pretty common.
Most of the time it's due to subject matter that I am overly familiar with, or a subject that I have no intrest in. I really appriciate the rare few who can keep my attention explaining things/telling a story in a fashion that isn't painfully slow to follow. These people are my good friends.

Surely you have people in your life that you can enjoy conversation with?

New word! Nice.

I go with this. A cool new word for me. Ha, gotta put this to use. ...crazy mike

[Times Roman]

That's pretty arrogant to think you've mastered the fine art of "asshole-ness", grasshopper..................

....one must ponder the asshole, embrace the asshole, and then become the asshole.

I'm just hoping there's a woman involved in all the above.....

Exactly bro... and yes, I have some good people, it's not like I feel isolated, disconnected, or alone. Don't get me wrong; I DO enjoy life, plenty of things I look forward to etc. It's just surface shit... general conversation that I find myself completely bored with to the point it annoys me.

lol... I've been pondering assholes my entire life. Haven't embraced any... unless you count sniffing a few?

[HORSE]

Upon further reflection, I think you must be a real asshole....

I started this congrats thread for you before you started this one and apparently no body gives a flying f#ck so you must be an asshole lol....Congrats gbrice75

[bikeral]

Did you say something? I'll try to pay attention this time.

[Kawigirl]

I found this post ironically funny with the "all inclusive test treatment" advertisement in your blog G.....lol

Check out Louis CK - and his show Louie

It will complement your disdain towards humanity quite exceptionally.

I like him too... he's a pretty good friend of Jim Norton's (one of my favs) and actually was just on Stern a couple weeks ago.

George Carlin is the Godfather and pioneered this schtick. He has included some type of rant about boring/stupid people in ALL of his HBO specials.

RIP Georgie, you ol fuk.

[Shol'va]

For the record GB your still just a half azzed A-Hole. Hang around me long enough and I'll get you there though..

[slfmade]

I'm the say way.....Except I might really think I'm better than most people. Does that make me an asshole? Probably, but fvck it, and fvck you too!!!! LOL

[MickeyKnox]

I miss George..

My all-time favorite. When Stern interviewed him, i'm pretty sure I had a hard-on the entire time - and I'm as straight as they come (sorry Shol'va)

A gay man who simply cannot post a single comment without some kind of ASS in it...

It just makes you an asshole with more conviction... and probably self esteem, than me.

I miss George..

Fuk yea... the best!
