The Hypocrisy of One-Sided People

People are something else. They're a trip, they really are. They really have some shit with them. Of course, I'm speaking collectively, this obviously isn't the case with every person I know or have met. Duh! However, there's a percentage of people who are one-sided, and I think the percentage is high.

On a side note, in terms of race, I won't say it's a "black" or white thing. In this particular case, I say it's a tie because I've seen this cheeky ass shit from both sides. It's pretty much people who apparently can treat you however they want to treat you. They can come at you sideways, disrespect you, make crass or sly remarks, sometimes passing them off as "jokes," but they have an underlying meaning, and apparently you're supposed to just accept it. You're supposed to like it and love it.

They even have luxury (somehow) of shoveling all of the blame on you if you have problem with the way they're coming at you. It's always you, it's never them. Regardless of how they come at you, some way, somehow, it's your fault. They will invent ways to shift the blame you usually by moving the goalposts, playing semantics, gaslighting, etc.

They can make jokes or "jokes," drag your name through the mud, and don't give a damn if they offend you or not, if they're disparaging your name/character or not. You're supposed to take it and smile; be a good sport, that is, until you do something that they find offensive.

They can do it to you, and it's okay, it's justified, but the moment you respond or someone says or does something they don't like, the game changes. Now people pissed off, hurt, in their feelings, want to fight, etc., and I find this one-sided and two-faced. I don't know what planet some people are living on, but they need to come the fuck off it. You throw dirt, people are going to throw dirt back. Don't dish it out if you can't take it.

You have people who expect you to respect and accept them for who they are, but won't show you that same courtesy. They will tell you they are who they are, like it or not, but want you to change, and on top of that, will try to change you more to their liking. I'm sick of one-sided people and their bullshit.

I was going to mention this thing where women can have standards but guys should take whoever they can get. You're supposed to make all these changes and jump through hoops to get them but accept them for they who are, however, I've decided to stay on this particular side of the one-sided narrative. I mean, a guy who goes for that is foolish, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy. By the way, I know there are guys who like this too, and they're just as hypocritical, but from my observation I see this more when it comes to women.

Anyway, I haven't been told this too often, but I've heard this at least twice in my life something along the lines of I have problem with people or I can't get along with people. I disagree; for the most part, I get along well with people, but it's very difficult to get along with people who are one-sided.
