Celebrity Fights

I've been told if you are "Someone" you get a "tick" beside your name. That just means you are who you say you are and somehow has been verified. This usually applies to people who known as what we currently call "celebrities." So one of these people last night posted a video and said that they felt confused. A Stranger tried to make a joke in response. The problem with their joke was it put a feeling in the celebrities mouth, so to speak. The Someone naturally then felt, ironically, annoyed, which is the feeling the attempted jokester used. And then I felt annoyed that a Stranger had annoyed Someone. I have yet to see a Someone annoy another Someone. So I stepped in and gently tried to help, but then to add an element of good feelings, made a couple of jokes of my own, which, and if you know me, you will know that they were deep and true, and they were. They were in fact, perfect and added to the helping out. I mean, if the Stranger was open, all of it put together could potentially help them and make them laugh. Now I admit, these jokes would only easily be understood by a few, and these jokes would only be hilarious to one person in particular as it was based on our private conversation about wishing we could smote some people. This morning, I decided I would go back and just add one more comment for clarity's sake. To point out to Stranger that Someone clearly stated they were confused, not annoyed. And that to put feelings into someone else's mouth is not funny. I never would have said anything at all, had Stranger responded humbly to Someone's annoyance. Stranger just made excuses and accused Someone of being "Indignant" which I don't even know what that means but it is inflammatory. Just apologize. We all know it was an attempted joke that failed, you don't have to defend yourself. However Someone must have blocked Stranger because that whole conversation vanished. I feel it's a shame, but I also realize that I was doing exactly what Stranger did, speaking for Someone. I'm so annoying. I was, although well-intention, speaking for Someone and not listening to Someone which is what I wanted Stranger to do. Had I listened I would have just liked Someone's reply and walked away or said," I support Someone" or "I'm with Someone" but I continue to make mistakes and always will. Still learning. Still practicing. As long as I live there is hope I will learn. I have battled many a troll only to learn about myself and see how alike we are. Does this make me regret unfriending a family member and her partner for posting a transphobic meme and instead of listening to me, joining in on the bullying from their friends and circle who thought it was funny and that I was stupid and wrong? No. That's apparently my line. I still feel that I can write to my family member and hopefully help her realize how wrong she was. I still care about her and want her in my life. But unless she sees the error of her ways there's no way I'd ever introduce her to any of my friends. My friends would understand and I'd get over my embarrassment and shame of this family member is she did say something ignorant but there I go again, wanting to protect my friends when it is unneeded, though well-intentioned. Hero complex? Someone didn't need me standing up for them and defending them. They handled themselves. Responded in the perfect way for them. Stranger didn't get it but that's on Stranger. It was unnecessary for me to try and help. People can only help themselves. Although I say that of course and where would I be without the help of so many? Like seeing a message or a meme that we like and appreciate. It might take awhile for it to really sink in but it was there all along, a sticky note on the mirror or a George Michael t-shirt, "Choose life." This is a great example of how I see mirrors everywhere and so with that, I will share with you, the exact words of what happened... Someone: This is how my friend does sauce. I can't stop watching it. I feel confused. Stranger: Maybe YOU annoy her (hands making peace sign emoji) (heart emoji) Think about it. Someone: maybe YOU annoy me. Think about that. My friend doesn't annoy me at all. (upside down smile emoji). Stranger: She confuses you, possibly she is confused right back. Don't be indignant, it was an ill attempt at humor. Other Stranger: I'm pretty sure that Hannah was joking/being sarcastic. If I'm wrong, I offer my apologies to both of you. Just think of cute puppies, kittens, and sloths to ease the tension (paw print emoji, purple heart emoji) Me: You are just expressing your perception, not Hannah's reality which only Hannah knows. If only you were able to see yourself as you Think you see Hannah (two heart emoji) I am not joking at all. I am trying to help you. Only you can help yourself, but you appear to be digging downwards. Me: Mirrors for sale. Get your clear mirrors here!" Me: Mirrors, a product proudly provided by Smote Co. We look forward to accepting your request for a good smiting. In the meantime please enjoy our complimentary entertainment. Put your feet up and leave the comedy to the professionals.
