If only I could do a better job of discerning when someone is stupid enough that I ought to avoid their company. Sometimes I have known and just not been able to help myself though. A job as an engineer/scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory just seemed too good to pass up. A few other times something similar. A few times it was a lady that was just too damn attractive to me such that I so wanted to convince myself otherwise. Sometimes they were relatives I was just stuck with. A few times it was that or just be completely alone. Sometimes I had no way to get away short of doing something drastic.

And ultimately these people have been the cause of all my life's misery.

It was easy to dismiss Kathryn Creek. Never dwelled on her because she was so clearly crazy/stupid. So very clearly. There was nothing there for one to reason with. But I can't dismiss S. Just can't successfully do it for good. I can manage it here and there but I always come back around to the same place. Yes I watched her mistakenly demonize so many people. Yes, she doesn't know herself at all and can't admit any failings about herself.

Reasons to dismiss a person:
1. They're totally fucking crazy.
2. They're really stupid.
3. They can't admit to any shortcomings and don't react well to ever being told they're wrong about anything.
4. They're really really bad at judging people and default to demonizing others.

Blah blah blah blah. No easy formula easily devised.

I know of one/two people I should give more of my time. The rest? Avoid! Well, C White who deactivated his facebook. Roland. Megan the olympian but nothing will come of that. And Cara the neurosurgeon. Unlikely anything will come of that. I think back to working on the floor as a nurse. Damn they were all kind of stupid really. Like really fucking stupid. Wrong unit I guess.

Terrible post but I don't care. Caused a temporary abatement at least..
