Why do we need to hold hands? Is it to love, to be closer and to knowing that there is comfort in someone else’s presence? I think we need each other for guidance and directions, basically.
First, these people may not be thinking on their own yet and have a clear need for babysitting of step-by-step instructions on what should be done next. Sometime, they have a sense of urgency that answers need to be provided to these ‘Morons’ (pardon my language here) by us more clueless people.
This day showed me that co-workers are not there to torture the smart ones. But they do not have any clear idea how the processes at work should be handled. To show patience and understanding to these crazed co-workers in a professional manner without pushing their buttons to the point of their explosive behavior is difficult.
Second, these people may have hit the wall and became nut balls without my knowing. My observation thus far is that the ones who when through the top two major stresses of death and divorce are the most prone to nut ball episodes.
No wonder these guys seem to gravitate towards me, who has never been married or have kids. They seem to know my down-to-earth nature. Others still cannot figure me out, which is fine because I could care less. It is too bad they still carry their emotional baggage for me to carry.
Third, these people may be stressed out and need to project their anger and frustrations on us calmer individuals. I personally am a loner and consider myself quite shy and reserved. So when people start showing their true monster side of being mean and annoying, I remember that I was once there and now have a more profound understanding of their infantile behaviors.
I will, however, lash out in reflection of their bad attitudes and this is an area that I will personally try to improve. It’s not a perfect world; it’s a harsh world. If these difficult people continue to put me through more crap, I say rebuke them nicely and diplomatically and show them a piece of my pie-hole.
