There's been this new trend that I have seen circulating all forms of social media where people are suddenly proud of being a bitch, an asshole or whatever insult they choose to give themselves. This mentality tells others to "deal with it" if you have a problem with these problematic behaviors.
Seriously, I wish I was kidding.
Photos like these are ALWAYS being shared around Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and whatever other platforms that are used for photo sharing. I don't understand it at all.
Why would someone want to be a terrible person? Why would someone revel in the fact that they are mean and no one wants to be around them? This mentality is toxic, and I honestly hope that it fades away quickly, but I don't think it will.
Here's the thing; nobody ever likes everyone. Even the nicest people in the universe have their least favorite people that they'd rather not be around, even if it's for a vain reason. However, that doesn't give anyone the justification to be mean, awful or rude for no reason. What benefit does that present to anyone? Coming off as nasty isn't a great way to start or maintain any relationship whether it be a friend, family member, boyfriend/girlfriend/significant other, employer or professor.
If you take pride in being an asshole, you can't accept when you're wrong. You are incapable of holding yourself accountable for your own actions, and you are an incredibly self-centered person. If you're one of those people who "loves being a bitch" like your Instagram bio says, but yet you don't feel like this shoe fits, then you're probably not inherently a bitch, please stop making yourself look bad.
Sure, everyone has had a bad day where maybe they were being a bitch. But if you are one of these self-proclaimed assholes who feel the need to expose their character through a Facebook meme, I feel sorry for you. Being nice to people is an incredibly rewarding feeling, and who doesn't like when someone is nice to them? How can you expect someone to be nice to you when you're essentially walking around with a sticker on your forehead that says "I will not be nice"?
The funny thing is that the same people who are proud of their arrogance are the same people who will turn around and bash someone who was not nice to them, whining "what a bitch!" but, don't you take pride in being one yourself?
I honestly do not understand the mentality of wanting to be an asshole at all. Why anyone would take pride in having such a toxic attribute, I don't know. If you're one of these people and would be able to explain why you feel the need to live such a negative lifestyle, please, I'm listening.
And if you're one of these people who is probably rolling their eyes at this right now, I hope you have a really nice day!
