Let's just say it right up front: Life is too fucking short to walk around with a metric ton of butthurt in your pants. Okay, so you got in a fight with someone. Maybe it was online, maybe it was IRL. Now you're going to make sure that your "enemies" know just how butthurt you are.
Maybe you do that by absenting yourself, by "denying" your "enemies" your presence. Or maybe you wait for your moment and get your shot in, and then congratulate yourself on giving some of your butthurt back.
Or maybe the people you're busy fucking with aren't even the cause of your butthurt. Maybe you've got problems at home, and you're dumping your failed relationship on people using some contrived excuse.
Either way, if you do it long enough, you start conditioning peoples' responses to you. Eventually, they stop trying to figure out what's wrong, and just walk away. That works, I suppose, if your goal is to be alone and miserable with your butthurt to keep you warm. If being alone isn't your goal, though, maybe you ought to deal with the situation.
That's not easy, though, because it means sacking up. It means being strong enough to let old grudges die. In short, it means being a rock n roller. Either you can do this, or you can't. If you CAN, then DO IT. If you can't, then I wish you well in your brooding over how everyone fucked you over or betrayed you, and the world isn't treating you fairly, or whatever other twisted little knots occupy your heart.
Okay for now,
Dok
Life IS too short. And sometimes the lure of being a shit to other people because you have problems is too great to ignore. But a person can't grow and evolve if they don't move past a potential nasty moment without comment more often than not.

More to the point, if you (well, not YOU) want to be bitter and alone for a chunck of what little time you have on this Earth, then more power to ya, I suppose. Because if you're butthurt here, chances are you're just as loveable offline.

I agree. But there is a sort of attraction to being nasty to people who either had nothing to do with anything, or by some circuitous manner are related to your suffering. The only way to get over that is to realize that it only feels good in the very,
very short run. It's like drugs, you have to keep doing more and more to feel the same way, and people who are prone to addiction anyway often don't see a reason to sober up.
Well that's because they have no reason to sober up. If the best they can hope for is some kind of manageable equilibrium under drugs, then sobriety doesn't have a shot in hell. Not without help. Though I suppose that is all besides the point of this thread.
I think the best butthurt strategy in the world is mine:
Step 1. Recognize that you may be experiencing an unreasonable level of butthurt
Step 2. Retreat! Calm the fuck down.
Step 3. Come back laughing. It's funny. You're a retard. It's funny, dammit.
Bam. No more butthurt.

I must have misunderstood. MY butthurt or theirs? The above works for MY butthurt (and possibly serves to abate theirs by de-compressing the situation).
I can't do much if the butthurt is solely their own except make it clear that the thing that's up their ass wasn't meant to be administered in such a fashion.
I feel pretty confident that my tolerance and effort to get to the bottom of what people are trying to say is such that when I do need to get emphatic about something, it's usually justified. My Take it:Dish it out ratio is at a conservatively fair level as well. I call this "Acting like an adult."
I've lost people over butthurt. The last one told me she was in a tight spot. I said I had just enough to cover bills, otherwise I'd help. She told me to borrow money from someone else I know. I said no way was I going to do that and she started in with "Well if they make you feel like you can't ask for anything when you're starving, they're no good, blah blah." I didn't like her taking shots, this person had never done a goddamn thing to her. I told her as much and said "Hey, I'm not starving, fuck off." which is an appropriate response under the circumstances and she never forgot it, hasn't talked to me since.
Now I look back on the whole thing and wonder if she wasn't hanging around the whole time because she mistakenly thought my other friend was rolling in money. I think half the butthurt out there is just an excuse. People have some kind of specific use for you, and when you don't cooperate, they find or provoke something to get butthurt over.
Real friends OVERLOOK their butthurt, they know it's bullshit. BUTTHURT =/= REAL PAIN. If you VALUE the other person you don't sit around feeling like a redheaded stepchild and feeding the butthurt until it turns into a six hundred pound sabertoothed ringtailed spotted-ass ape. You let it go.
IOW, if somebody's "denying" my "enemy" self their presence over butthurt, I tend to look at them as never being real in the first place. Didn't lose anything but an illusion.
This made my anus hurt. :argh!:
Truth. Everyone gets upset, sure, but, general guide... if more than one person uninvolved with your butthurt rolls their eyes at your reaction, you may be overreacting.

How I read it which is much funnier.
Axl Rose is the King of Butthurt. He just sent a letter to the RnR Hall of Fame informing them he refuses to be inducted and will not attend the ceremony. But, it doesn't stop there, in his letter he DEMANDS that he not be mentioned by name, nor even by implication, when they induct GnR. Dude has been hanging on to THAT butthurt since 1993.
Dudes useless. Id say it was his ego except that his ego seems to be more of a symptom.

Roger Waters and David Gilmour managed to share a stage for 20 minutes a couple of years ago for Live 8 or whatever that was called.
Even Metallica and Dave Mustaine managed to put shit behind them and share a stage for a performance.
I don't know why he can't just suck it up for what will amount to maybe 30 minutes out of his life. Does he really hate Slash that much?

Since she obviously doesn't make her own money, it seems perfectly legitimate to assume that the only reason a woman would date an older and less attractive man is for his income.
No, it seems perfectly legitimate to assume that it's the only reason a woman would date Axl Rose.
No, the reason that she dates Axl Rose is because she's functionally retarded:
Quote from: La WikiLana cites Britney Spears, Eminem, Elvis Presley and Kurt Cobain amongst her musical influences
She might be pretty, but it's pretty clear she's as dumb as a bag of rocks. Christ, and she somehow sells albums. For money. And people buy them.
That makes perfect sense! Put down people you don't like by denigrating the women who sleep with them.
I'll remember to imply that your wife is a prostirute the next time we disagree about something, because to do so is very witty and humorous.
A fool and their money are soon parted, or something.

Normally, I just assume love is blind unless proven otherwise.
In this case, it must also have no nose, or any concept of spatial relationships.

I know this became SRSBZNZ, but:
1) She comes from a well-off family
2) She sells a lot of albums
3) Her songs are pretty good
4) Her remixes are excellent
5) There must be a reason for her attraction to him, but I can't figure it out.

Yeah, I know... there's probably some reason a smoking hot rising star is dating a washed-up has-been, and it sure as shit isn't for money because she's pulling pretty damn well in her own right.
This is what happens when people pine for the Open Bar. He posts thoughtful articles about Goatse.
@Nigel, this isn't really a diss about Lana, but given her previous tactics, there's a good chance that she's simply stirring the pot to get web clicks and digital ink spilled over her. Most of what I've seen isn't "What's Axl up to now" it's "What's Lana doing?" Which a cynic would say is that she's just grabbing headlines. And frankly, I'd prefer that to the immediate alternatives that spring to mind.
Another possible answer is that she did it for the same reasons my sister married her first husband.

I'm inclined to go with this theory, she's getting her name out there. Besides, Axl is bugfuck. Expect some Pam Anderson-Tommy Lee style tabloid covers in the future. Then even the WalMart dwellers will know who she is.

I wouldn't doubt it. A savvy showbusinesswoman is going to exploit any available avenues to make sure people are talking about her, and the more novel/improbable, the better they stick in people's heads. Like the Lady Gaga tranny controversy.
I'm inclined to respect even a broke-ass woman dating a washed-up, has-been waaaay more than myself getting in fucked up relationships with broken men because I apparently still have some cycle-of-abuse shit going on in my head that daddy didn't quite beat out of me.
Or how bout this: mind your own fucking business because you don't really know.
True.
It's possible there's nothing calculated about this. Maybe she idolized him when she was a kid, one of those Tanya Tucker-Glen Campbell things. Maybe she's not a shallow person and she truly doesn't care what other people look like.
Or maybe she thinks she can FIX him. :x
