Self-righteousness. When there's no room for discussion.
Power struggles. When a small disagreement affects every aspect of the relationship, not just what the issue is about. Don't agree with me about what to have for dinner? Then I will disagree with you about what to do this weekend, to punish you.

Oldyoung, yeah, that power struggle and punishment thing, that's so passive aggressive. Passive aggression is out out out.
^These.
People who confuse criticism, contempt, and being mean, for intelligence, sophistication, and maturity.
Also not a huge fan of people that are really into survival of the fittest, social hierarchies, etc.
I accept that these things exist, but I don't like it. The people that actually like that it is this way, I feel, are cold and cruel.
And people who NEED teasing, or else they think I'm weak/boring/not man enough. I just don't see why everything has to be a power struggle or a dominance game, a game of one-upmanship. I don't want to always have to be on my toes, that sounds like work. And I'm looking for someone I can let down my guard with, not someone I'll have to keep my guard up for all the time. That's kind of the whole point for me.
Also not a fan of people who are always sarcastic and facetious, as I've said before. Especially with this new subculture of meme kids and shitposting. I don't like it...it's like, how about instead of mocking and deriding everything and having an endless class clown competition/circle jerk, how about you actually get into something?
Actually like something. Have a sincere thought. Be about something. ****!
