interesting how everywhere you go, there’s that one person. you know who i’m talking about. the one who’s trying to make themselves look good, by trying to make everyone around them look bad.

you’d think the most direct way to make yourself look good is to accomplish shit, and kick ass, create a collegial environment, and that kind of thing. internal standards. the kind of actions that earn you the respect of those around you. right?

but not that one person. that one person is so externally focused, that their own work begins to suffer. as their work suffers, they need to swing more vicious attacks at others to continue making themselves “look better”  – which, as everyone sees their game, eventually quits happening. because nobody bothers to waste their time talking to that one person anymore.

these types will assuredly destroy themselves on their own. no intervention is required from you except staying the fuck away from them and avoiding any destructive radius around them. it requires a little patience, but is uniquely satisfying to watch their own douchebaggery take them down in flames.
