The Crab Mentality…

     What happens if you pour a bunch of crabs in a bucket?….or let me re-phrase by asking…..what do you see in a bucketful of crabs? 

     As a form of survival, crabs instinctively move away when approached.  So when in a bucket, we see them all climb up on top of each other to move up and in the process pulling others down along the way.  Well, crabs are crabs…..but humans?….geez, some have this approach to life….the crab mentality!!!

     Beware, I am sure we all have at least one of their kind in our lives.  These are the kinds of people who won’t care to brush off other people aside just to get what they want.  These are inconsiderate leeches who will feed on informations from you and twist them according to how they see fit just so they come out that they are better and you are worse.  These are the "self-acclaimed" smart people who love to nonchalantly say the phrase "if I were you"…with a note as if YOU ACTUALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! …..(when you are not even soliciting for an advice!)

     These are the kinds of people who seem to be sympathetic when listening to your woes….but, hey, careful…in the end, they will use it against you to target your weakness.  These are the kinds of people who will always see the bad side of things instead of looking for anything good in it.  These are the people who belong in your circle you thought of as friends….but they just love stabbing you in the back.  Heck, I don’t know…but they probably get gratification from doing all these things out of frustration that you have what they don’t.

     My other guess is…these kinds of people are full of insecurities in their lives that they just live in constant resentment, thus, making them more prone to get satisfaction from seeing the bad coz anything worse than them just makes them "seem" better off than anyone…..pathetic, I must say!

     Isn’t that quite infuriating?…..Oh yes, it is!  So if you don’t know one of those, consider yourself lucky, man!  It is quite difficult to handle people who are like these…but in the end, the best thing to do is to cast them out of our lives.  Why so cold?….hey, who wants complications?  At first, it might be easy to handle by being polite and all that shit…but in the end, the negativity of it just gets to you and your system.

     So my friend, I am not saying that you start becoming paranoid…just be AWARE….because these kinds of people do exist!
