pointing out the untrue?

[richard misiak]

Picture this;
you're in a perfectly fine mood (but just maybe a bit busy or in a hurry), and someone attempts to initiate small talk (or something similar) and you politely but firmly decline, and then they say 'oh I didn't realise you're in a bad mood, never mind etc.'

The idea of apology is fine, my gripe lies with the accusation that I'm in a bad mood. For me this instantly puts me in a REALLY foul mood, and rather unfortunately gives the accuser a nice sense of superiority as you're evidently some socially inept dickhead who hates everybody.

Has this happened to any one else? Does anyone know what is effect is called, or is it just me?

for people who can't read:
I'm in normal mood/neither good nor bad
someone accuses me of being in a bad mood [usually projecting]
accusation puts me in bad mood

If you want real life trolling look at the West Boro Curch. I swear its all a game to them. Since no one can be that evil.

So he admitted to interrupting you and your possible bad mood, is that so bad.
And It's hard to take your entire word for this because we don't know what he asked, where you were, why he asked, and why you didn't talk to him.

I'd say this scene depicts real-life trolling a bit better than what you described:

That's not trolling. Real-life trolling is the somewhat inebriated (not-a-)gentleman who, at the bus-stop today, subjected all who wanted to listen to his annoyed and pointless talking.

*troll face*
THATS HOW YOU DO IT SON?!

 

[richard misiak]

I'm not saying someone unintentionally bothering me is what I hate, and apologising is fine, its the declaration that I'm in a bad mood when I'm not.

It appears I miscommunicated my original point and now this thread is lost

Trolls trolling trolls? I've heard of this.

I also agree. I can't wrap my head around the mind-boggling brainwashing, anti-human hatred and tunnel vision they have if they're actually serious.

 

[richard misiak]

Real life trolling is this.

'Yo, mate, your hair is so feckin' gay! Your clothes are stoopid! Your girlfriend looks like..' You get the idea.

Nah, real life trolling is:

"I know this student union is campaigning against genocide but is it really so bad? A man kills a whole bunch of people and he's a murderer, but if he kills all people the same colour he's a genocidal maniac? That's saying that the second crime is worse because those other people are of a different race to him and that's pure racism against him!"

OP: that's not trolling, that's you being a bit of a moody sulk and people calling you on it.

lrn 2 comprehenshun, originally stated I was in a mood that was 'normal', but upon the accusation that I'm in a bad mood I'm put into said bad mood

I hate people who point things out that aren't true.
This inevitably leads to them BECOMING true because God has a sense of irony.

fell free to clarify at any time. Nothing is stopping you.


I think I know what you mean though. When you're just lying on the couch, listening to music. then someone comes up and asks you why you aren't doing anything productive and wh y you don't go out with friends.
then I tell them to fuck off, and they say "oh, that's why, because you have no social skills"
god I hated my parents......

Jesus, your parents were dickheads. Also, I'm not trying to come off as an asshole myself in any way, but I'm just curious. Were their accusations baseless, or was that purely based on your mood? I mean, I'm a pretty introverted person. When I want to be alone, I want to be alone, it doesn't affect how sociable I am, but again, I'm just curious.

 

[Jasper Jeffs]

Real life trolls are the ignorant cunts sitting at the back of the bus pretending to get high, chatting shit about who they shagged and who they would shag, whilst playing Dizzy Rascal or some shit club mix, they also comment on long hair, homosexuals and alternate brands of clothing. They are trolls because they're retarded and don't realise they're trolling, like most trolls on the internet.

 

[child of lileth]

That's not trolling at all.

Anyway, that happens to me pretty much everyday. It's nothing I get upset over though. I forget about it like, 5 seconds later, and go on with my life.

 

[Irridium]

It bothers me as well, but its nothing to get to angry about.

Trolling is a art.
One you have not yet mastered.

Nice

I'm a rather introverted individual myself(at least according to Carl Jung).
Though I lack social skills in general, since I generally don't like talking to people and such. too much drama for me, and I'm too much of an asshole to avoid it. But that being said, I have alot of people I know and am friends with. I have moments where I want to spend time with others and have fun, and then there are times where I want to just sit back and listen to blues music.
That situation was purely based on my mood then. There are few things I hate more than someone trying to randomly take a non-existent moral high ground on such a pointless subject, who's only reason for being brought up in the first place that as far as I could tell, was to purely piss me off. Like when people come up to you and make fun of you when you're gaming.
