OPINION: When They Don’t Like You …

When they don’t like you, when they fear you and when they get all emotionally tied up with that then the microscope comes out and the detailed scrutiny is activated where any slight, often perceived emotionally ignoring the logic and facts, they leap on it as if their lives depended on it and then the old lizard brain adrenal stress chemicals kick in further blocking out our human logical thinking processes. Then all hell breaks loose and a combination of cognizant dissonance and confirmation bias grab hold and the attacks and fear and anger just keep right on rollin along like the old monkey dance seen in the movie clip, Jumanji. 

We are all suffering from that stage right now because we see things as the dark and unknown. We know as humans that facing the dark, those things lurking in the dark places we humans fear to go, and the unknown of it the flight, fright and fear process grabs hold in tandem with the adrenal chemicals and off we go into the WILD, CHAOTIC (see, I can use a form of Chaos to make my point too) and dangerous actions seen around lately. Trust me, we won’t get off that wagon until it or the other are upturned and dumped down a chasm. 

Is it truly dark? Not from where I sit. Are people over emotionalizing things? You betcha, and that is kind of normal but what is missing is the understanding of what that really means, accepting it and then taking appropriate actions - kind of like the old adage of counting to ten before you speak or considering before you speak if it is, “necessary,” and/or “kind” and/or “is it true?” - to stop ourselves from making that leap into the black depth of a chasm of emotional immaturity thereby leading to actions, deeds and words inappropriate to the situation of the moment. 

Now, the only reason this is happening is because the entity involved is an unknown, i.e., we all are well aware and have become comfortable with the status quo and since that has never killed us we are averse to changing from that model. So, when an entity like we have today begins doing things unexpected and perceived under these obstacles we freak out, panic, become scared to the ninth degree and the take actions according to not what is relevant and true but as to how we feel and since we feel the panic, anger and fear we go right into survival mode we are all gonna die emotional state of mind and then we act in very unusual, inappropriate and often dangerous ways. 

Now, here is where I am really going to piss off that side, “Grow up, get a grip and let things progress with a diligent awareness and keen observation as the process goes forward so, IF, things go awry then we can take appropriate actions with minimal emotional attachment and make relevant, efficient and valid decisions on how to proceed.” 

In short: People who don’t like you tend to do three things: First, they set you apart from themselves; second, the tend to stigmatize you; and third, they tend to other you!
