In actual fact, nobody really cares or thinks about anything but themselves. Just about everyone you deal with – at work, at school, or in the shopping mall – is just as self-absorbed as you!!!
So, if you want people to like you, respect you, or even shag you, just remember this: It’s not about you. It’s about them. Always, all the time, and forever, it’s about them. Do not ever (and I mean ever), talk about yourself, your dogs, or what inane TV show you watched last night.
Would you like to make friends with someone? Attract more members of the opposite sex? Be more liked by your boss? Ask them how their health is! They will talk for hours about their problems. Aching backs, migraines, haemorrhoids, high blood pressure…the list never ends. Surveys by the esteemed Dr. Randy Bungga have shown that 8 out of 11 people think they are suffering more than anyone they know, and 3 out of the 11 think they have an incurable disease.
i had an incurable disease once, but i got better afterwards.. i think it had something to do with people not understanding me on account of my rather thick Irish accent.. i went into the doctor telling him i needed help with my boils, and he took me to mean piles, and when he continued with a full rectal exam he mistook some undigested matter for a tumor.. last time i’ll go see one of those quacks, for sure..
good fer u Paddy, takin the good doctor’s forefinger up yer bum like that! me cousin shamus got a medium sized potato stuck up there once, and it took three firemen and a labrador to get the darn thing out!
