I am an incredible pain in the ass.
I excel at it. And I've cultivated this skill over the years.
Rarely pure negativity and typically with the goal of improving someone's something.
But... sometimes just to drive someone nuts if they are pissing me off.
I try not to be overtly hurtful, but it happens.
People are no longer my friends over things that I've said in being a pain in the ass.
But that's their choice... and sometimes mine.
I'm not typically a troll though. If I've got something to say, there's a purpose or reason behind it. People are often surprised when they try to "call me out" at what's behind my pain-in-the-ass-ness. And I've received apologies when I probably should be the one handing them out. But I'm okay with that, too.
Like Henry, I'm incredibly cynical, but I also put the energy in to see both sides, which wears on my cynicism. I'd rather explain individual things than to accept a blanket reason for WHY?
