How do I gain the confidence to live authentically and by my own terms rather than others'? I'm tired of putting up with people's bullshit and dealing with stupid people who insist I play by their rules and refuse anything that contradicts their worldview and then bitch at me when reality inevitably proves them wrong. It feels like I lose everytime I play with retards but in everyday life these interactions are unavoidable in the workforce and such. The small instances on their own aren't that bad, but they get to be grating after a while, and I'm tired of being an oofy-doofy and pretending to be clueless when I'm just doing things the way other people want me to and going against my own (and often better) judgement. Obviously I'm not always right, no one is. But I try to work with these people and their mental frameworks to the best of my ability and interpret their intentions the best I can. It just feels like I'm punished constantly for showing basic human decency and goodwill instead of calling them out for the retards they are. They're the ones who built their shitty house, why should I get blamed and punished when it collapses on them?

I won't read venting threads about no-one in particular, on an advice board.
