I want to unfriend him so badly, but I also don’t want to lose him as a reference for future jobs or anything, because that was a major job etc etc. But I actually feel the urge to vomit or choke someone or something. And this, my friends, is one of the reasons I stopped wanting to pursue politics at a higher level. I used to be really into it, but then I realized I spent most of my time wanting to go around wanting to kick people in the shins and scream about how disgusting I found some peoples’ ideas about everything. I didn’t like spending my time going around talking about how repulsive I found half the population’s ideas and morals. I still follow politics closely and care deeply about issues, but I’ve had to divorce myself from being so emotionally invested in it because it turned me into a supremely negative person. There’s always a point when I just turn off the TV or navigate away from news sites now to stop myself reaching a boiling point. At least when people are obnoxious about music I don’t find them wholly repulsive and adjust my whole view of them as a person.
