People can really get annoying. Taking you for granted. You can't decipher the mindset unless you get a tight hard slap with their mouths.
Take the case of one pal. This guy is a tech freak and had inspired many to follow his list of activities. A sound applied mind with an urge to learn new technologies in the computing world, he was a sure shot of inspiration. Coming from a town having dreams of none other than becoming the next Steve Jobs, he motivated the ignorant to really look into the world in an inquisitive manner. But things turned sour one day.
It was the way he used to take in others' concerns. The way it was ditched was heinous, let alone admire the thing of the idea. He would imagine that idea into reality in a flash moment, a feat rarely seen. But the point of letting it go in a very harsh manner was not his right. Either he would dump the idea saying it as baseless or would consider very amateurish. Being brilliant with coding and algorithmic thinking but equally introverted and an attitude: harsh, demeaning and straight forward. That hurts when the advice pour in a language not supposed to be in for others.
What happened was he had shared an idea. Maybe, he just wanted to market it or show it off. But the idea was confined to a college level and the general public wouldn't be interested. Obviously, friends would think of suggesting a place to market it better, to make it more visible and popular. The manner in which the reply came was bitter. Disturbing. Hard. A reply depicting wrong attitude. That effects the mind, specially if the recipient is not adjusted to such! You then think inside of what wrong did you say and become more careful in picking up contacts.
Bah! People.
