Yeah, Mock. It can’t just be a case of being paranoid when it ends up being true and people have been being talked about in the way that they were worried about. It’s like a self-fulfilling prophesy. Can represent serious mental illness in the extreme but can also be genuine reality that being cynical and jaded is just a natural follow-through result from and of. When you’ve been through the lows of smear-campaigning it can sometimes hardly make sense to be any other way, and it can last for years. You might just become more and more bitter (or at least cynical) as the years go on, because you’re used to people out there treating and talking about you badly.

I could flip that back on you because nothing you said has anything to do with what I’m talking about. I can promise you that.

That's good..I'm not paranoid now.

But, yeah, Mock, when that attitude runs unchecked you look at the world through insuring eyelids and have an inherent distrust and cynicism towards most people (even if you still see the good in them), because you have no reason to do anything else after everything you’ve been through. Some people are born that way but for others it’s acquired through negative experiences.

That’s why people like Piers Morgan and in general all the clapped blabbermouths of this world are an extra layer of repulsive. I’m all for healthy teas but because of that we’re talking anything from matcha turmeric to your bog-standard 2-sugared PG tips. Normal gossip. It ain’t going to be unhealthy tea that’s got 17 sugars in it and I ain’t getting involved with the corresponding poison from someone with a sickly-sweet smile of narcissistic charisma. It’s not good for you or anyone.

From my personal experience, I have probably become more jaded just by observing how other people talk to each other sometimes.

Ah.

For some people it’s less about the to and more about the about.
