Another "nice" one
·
Received on Instagram:
I just passed you on rue Faubourg Saint-Denis, I simply wanted to exchange a few words. You spend your time talking about humanity and values on social media, but in real life, you brush people off with a wave of the hand. Some contradiction. More proof that authentic people are hard to find and that fine words don't make fine people. I'm unfollowing.
My reply:
You try to stop me in the middle of the street with a cop's gesture while I'm walking fast with headphones on, and then you come and lecture me?
I owe you NOTHING. And if you think that contradicts what I say, you've misunderstood: link to my "I'm not nice" video
When I made that video and the next one about niceness, I got a lot of criticism.
But this is exactly what I'm talking about.
The guy decides I have to stop, here and now. He does it very clumsily, without a smile, like an order. And when I don't obey? He lectures me. He talks to me about "humanity". Because obeying him would be the right thing to do. It would be nice.
I know: it's a very, very light version of what a lot of women go through every day.
