If there's one thing I can't stand, it's giving praise and the receiver taking it as an insult.

'Cause you know... when you support or love something someone does, a simple "thank you" or any other appreciative gesture would suffice.

Can't say something nice? Don't respond at all. It's a cliche for a reason, ya know.

But yeah, DA's full of assholes.

Edit: Why is it so popular to be a hateful condescending jerk in today's generation? Why? Is it because "hate" is a strong word, therefore making YOU powerful? That love and caring makes you a wishy-washy purple dinosaur that is naïve and unaccepting to the "hardships" and "darkness" of so-called AWFUL and HORRIBLE "reality"? Happiness is a delusion whoooooooo~! If you're an optimist, you're an idiot. 'Nuff said.

I don't know why it's suddenly okay to be a jerk, and what bothers me more is that people are proud of being jerks.

I just don't understand it.

Speaking as someone who has -and in a sense still is- been a jerk, it's not because someone chooses to be one. More often than not, it'd due to how people have treated them in the past and it's subtly built up over time. You tend to not realize it until someone calls you out for it and you look back on how you've acted.

Am I trying to change? Hell yeah I want to change, but it's not something that happens over night. (I myself have YEARS of muck and crap to work through before I can really ever be 'nice' again) I dunno about anyone else who's a jerk though....

It's this... vicious cycle that's been happening now. Kid grows, gets kicked in the dirt, learns to kick others to survive. To "fight back", per se. As someone who's put up with bullying over the years (ESPECIALLY in the "golden years" *cough* at middle school), I don't want to become apathetic and nasty, like... them. To me, anyone that can receive tons of crap and stay sweet, lighthearted and cheerful is possibly the strongest guy I'll ever know.

I wish I could've been that strong. Surprisingly, my older sister -who's probably gone through more hardships than I have- has always remained kindhearted, optimistic and all in all friendly. That is a testament that nice people can and *do* exsist after all.

But it really seems like nice people are such a rarity these days. And I feel so incredibly horrible for kicking some of them around too. .____.

That drives me up the wall. It's the reason I don't often leave comments on deviations--never know how they'll take it.

I leave feedback when I can, mainly 'cause some people get picky they only have favorites but no comments. XDD! But often, it's fun to leave things to say when I got 'em, and I'll admit I find receiving comments a tad more fun and personal than just a favorite. (Though it depends--a sprite comic I uploaded got favorited by one of my favorite artists I watch. ;D) Geez Louise though, lately these past months, I've had people being paranoid or snappish around me, and this one guy told me, "I find your sarcasm amusing" when I meant nothing of the sort at all. Just... WTF? oO;;; I've made great friends on DA, but geez... lately all the bastards seem to pop up all over the place lately. :/

Okay, I could understand being mean if someone has been a trollish asshole to you for months on end, but for a comment?! Jeez.

Like I said before, I ASK before I assume.
