I have come to the Conclusion that the Community here at Steemit is no difference than the World we live in on an everyday basis.
And in that World there seems to be ...
The Asshole - These are people who are so blunt and who seem to relish in engaging in Conflict and starting them as well. And do it to a degree that some consider them assholes ( btw, pardon the "french" but I used this word to express my point in a poignant manner ;) ). We all know them. They take it farther than the mantra, "I just cal like I see it". They add a toxic element to the equation that ends up bringing down others around them.
Too Nice to Be True - They sugar coat everything. They have a perpetual optimism and tend to go over board with it. To an extent where they almost distort Reality. Their intentions may be noble but sometimes being way too nice can let the bad people have full reign over everything. To the detriment of everyone else. To them Life is just a big "rainbow of skittles ".
In Betweeners - They are the ones who like to look at the cup as being 'half full' but yet they also deem it necessary to analyze the facts and Reality of things. They truly try to give people the benefit of the doubt but if some blatantly try to abuse others or harshly disrespect them..well they have no problem in calling them out. Passive - Aggressive may be a phrase that could describe this group.
Conclusion...
No formal science of any kind has backed any of this up. It's just kind of my observations ( with maybe a tint of Tongue and Cheek lol). And what I have experienced over the years. I kind of relate to number 3. I know especially with the passive aggressiveness ( Although many in this group are not). I will give the shirt off my back to most anyone who seems reasonably respectable and sincere. But the moment I see blatant disrespect or abuse well I can really "punch" back.
Anyway, how about some of my fellow Steemians out there ? Any a-holes who are brave enough to admit this ? (Grumpy you reading this lol). Any super sweet people out there who are reading this while chomping on peppermint lollipops and singing kumbaya ? Or are there those out there who take one case at a time and are just kind of cautiously optimistic about the World. Not too cold or not too hot ??
Cheers,
Robert
