Re: Worst qualities of generally good people

[ketita]

Overly sweet/optimistic which slides into unhelpful.
My roommate's like this - I was bitching to her about my part time job, and she was like "so go do what you love!" and I said, well, that's not really an option - there aren't that many people looking for these specific talents, and the job is actually pretty cushy. It's rare to find something that good.
Her: "But you should do what you feel"
Me: "I'm kind of dependent on the job market..."
Her: "I'm sure that if you really want-"
Me: "It doesn't MATTER WHAT I WANT, IT MATTERS WHAT JOBS ARE AVAILABLE."

She finally admitted that she was saying that because she didn't have anything actually helpful to say, and I was like SO COMMISERATE WITH ME, SAY "YEAH, THAT SUCKS" AND LET'S MOVE ON. Empty words don't actually make me feel better!

Ugh. Some people are sort of trained that negative situations have to be countered by being all chirpy and positive, so all they have in their arsenal is empty platitudes. It's very annoying.

Re: Worst qualities of generally good people

[ketita]

Yeah, "chirpy" is definitely the word.
In this case, it's not ALL she has in her arsenal, but it can still get very tiresome to have conversations with her sometimes.

These people are wrong, and need to be subjected to Vogon poetry until they snap.

(Too harsh?)

Re: Worst qualities of generally good people

[sarillia]

I'm a generally optimistic person, but I'm glad I'm not this type at least. That is so not helpful.

Re: Worst qualities of generally good people

[ketita]

Yeah, see, there's nothing bad at all about being optimistic - it's a great quality. But I think it's important to read the situation and not slide into empty optimism.
Like, there are other ways this conversation could have gone, such as for example redirecting me to think about what I do find enjoyable about the job most of the time, or something.
