I have a pretty high tolerance for annoying characteristics: I can bear the overly religious, argumentative, and even, to a lesser degree, boring. But I cannot deal with insipidity and hold my tongue for too long. It is simply not in my nature.
Some signs of insipidity:
Repeating things after they occur with marginally different wording in an attempt to make them funny.
Attempts to dismiss criticism through ad hominem attacks.
Prone to use catch-phrases. Sometimes uses quotes from popular media or memes.
They like to complain about their life.
They often talk about the lives of celebrities.
They give the impression of being extremely fake. This is largely a result for their desperate need to belong, which requires them to adapt to whatever is cool at the moment. For example, one such person recently was talking about how "ghetto" they were during her childhood.
They're really into bad music, such as '90s pop music and mindless hip-hop.
They're just really stupid.
So used to going unchallenged in social circles that they may overreact when called out.
If you see someone who displays these characteristics, you can recognize them for the empty-headed fools they are. If these describe you, stay away from me, or sooner or later, my words will siege you.
Let's see if I can do this justice:
ReplyDeleteI took a break from listening to the Spice Girls to comment on this post, because I thought it amazing that you should take time to insult people who care about people like James Franco and Lady Gaga. My life isn't easy, what with all the stresses, and so I don't mind admitting that I like to keep tabs on the celebrities who excite me. Like I said, my life isn't easy. I grew up on the streets, unaware of a better world out there, and only could really understand life through fighting. Today, however, I recognize someone who is stuck up and self-absorbed like you, someone who thinks that their words can siege me. (lol!) It's completely offensive that you would take time to insult people whose lives are harder than your privileged lifestyle. Stupid? The only one who is stupid is the one who doesn't know that in the real world, you have to fight like this is Sparta!
I think I got them all in there. Care to check?
Pretty accurate.
