Hey Jenna,
I’ve got an age-old question for ya. Why are people such dicks? I’m so burnt out from being treated like crap. How do I deal?
From you pal,

Hi pissedoffateveryone,
People are work, right?! That certainly can be rewarding but in some cases a dick is just a dick. You are definitely not the only person in the world who’s felt this way at one time or another. Not knowing the specifics of your issues, and noting the general brush you’re painting everyone with tells me you are at the end of your rope.
The good news is, dicks usually have some underlying issues of their own that make them act this way. They may be unhappy with their own lives. Often times, dicks are in need of help themselves. In these cases, the best thing you can do for all the dicks in your life is to try to understand why they said or did something that ruffled your feathers. Sometimes by just being empathetic, you can change someone’s behavior so they stop acting like a dick towards you.
Of course, sometimes a situation calls for more than empathy. If someone physically harms you or threatens to harm you in any way then it’s time to seek some help from the professionals. Call the cops, get a lawyer, or tell your boss. Don’t wait for things to escalate.
Always remember, when dealing with dicks, don’t be a dick. You will never regret being compassionate to someone who didn’t treat you right. You can walk away with your head held high knowing you gave 100%. But you will always regret being a dick and stooping to their level. Imagine the regret the super dick has to live with?!
So level up, sweetie-pie. I’m proud of you.
