Do You Stalk Friends of Medium?
I’m chill. No really — I don’t get offended easily because I believe you have to take offence. You have to decide to push the “angry” button before you actually get angry.
It’s how I maintain a zen like state of calm (lol). I imagine there’s a big red button somewhere inside my mind and when shit happens, I get to choose whether to push on it or just walk away.
Most times I walk away. It’s easy once you get the hang of it and it also dovetails with my belief that everything happens to help us evolve into the best version of ourselves. The whole “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade” schtick.
So it’s a hard row to get me angry. It’s a lot easier to get me irritated.
And lately, there’s been a rash of sketchy mediumites who are constantly all up in my notifications clapping for comments I’ve made on multiple different articles — but they’re aren’t reading anything I write.
That’s irritating.
Why even bother? I can see they’re not reading my articles, just clapping for my comments on other folks’ articles.
It’s not occasionally either, every day now, claps on comments from the same folks…
