Be Positive
Have you ever had that experience where you met someone, maybe you make a bit of small talk with them, and then they just won’t leave you alone? Maybe this is at a café or a shop that you frequent. Then, it seems like every time you’re there, they pop up and come over to talk.
Some people you meet, you like them, and you have something in common with them, and maybe things go somewhere from there. Others, you just thought that you were being nice in speaking with them and then they just won’t leave you alone. Don’t you hate that?
As someone who has had a couple of stalkers, even though nothing too weird has happened to me from that, (THANKFULLY), it just got to the point where I couldn’t even go to a couple of the places I really liked as they, that Stalker, would always magically turn up. “Oh hi, fancy meeting you here?” I mean, what is stalking based upon? Answer: Somebody wanting something from you that you don't want to give.
Personally, whenever I’m asked what I do for a living, I never answer. I never really have. I just dodge the question. Because in and from times gone past to this day, the minute I tell someone I write books, they believe that they had the greatest life story ever lived and they contacting me over and over and over again wanting me to write their biography. Dude, your life was and is not that interesting. If I tell them I make films, forget about it. Everybody wants to be a star.
I don’t give out my phone number anymore. Because really, there are very few people I desire to be in contact with and when I don't respond to people I don't want to respond to, they get pissed off at me. I mean it all goes back to the thing I have said forever, everybody wants something from me, but no one ever gives me anything. I’d love it if people (or a person) would want to do something nice for me, but that’s so rarely ever seems to be the case. I think the last one was Adam Sandler when he asked me to be in his film, Sandy Wexler, even though they cut most of my part out. But, they did treat me like a Star when I was on the set. Hell, even on the internet people try to make money and a name for themselves off of using my films, my books, my philosophy, and me as a focus for them to unleash they un-truth based assessments and judgements. That’s pretty uncool, don’t you think?
The point to all this being, there’s a million people out there in the world. You can find people to hang out with if that’s all you’re looking for. Just go to a place where the people who have the same interest as you go to congregate. But, be aware of the people who are only being cordial to you—the people who don’t really want to know you but are just being nice. Mostly, don’t be a vampire. Don’t force yourself into the life a person where you only want to suck their energy or that whatever you desire, whatever that something may be. Because that is never alright.
Life interaction is great. You like the people you like, and hopefully they like you. But the world, people, personalities, and human desires are always constantly in a flux. Be aware enough to understand that simply because somebody smiles at you that does not mean that they wish you to be a part of their life.
