It’s a weird coincidence!

It’s a weird coincidence!

No reason to look to hard at it. - Only a coincidence.

Ross E F Lombardi

You know what’s a weird coincidence?

One that almost no one seems too ever notice.

An amazing one?

That coincidence is SO common, that its strangeness is totally imperceptible by your average human.

But can easily be perceived by lesser beings, such as myself and most dogs?

.

The coincidence that it always seems to be the VERY SAME people that say any variant or combination of any of the following…

“You have to learn to love yourself first”

AND

“Being independent is self-empowering”

AND

“You should never be solely responsible for another individuals happiness”

OR

“You should never need someone else to make you happy,”

AND

“You just need to surround yourself with positive people”

And of course, the ever immortal,

“Your fine,”

“Don’t worry about it”

.

Are the Very SAME PEOPLE,

That have a supportive network, of friends and/or family that are always available to them!

The sort of people that can call for help and three others will instantly stick up their hands to say, “over here!” - “I will be there for you!”

.

It has never seemed to be said BY The “What the fuck is wrong with me” type sub-people. OR The Outcasts,

It is never said by The Loners, The Socially Awkward, OR The Disenfranchised,

It is never exclaimed by any of us random collected "less than a real human" ones, OR the other disposable trash ‘Ross E F Lombardi’s’ of this world.

(Although it is often preached TO Them!) - A LOT!

Yeh know,

The TRULLY Weird people (As opposed the tourists ‘weird people’ who could become “Normal” at the drop of a hat – they may not like being so-called “normal”, they may not enjoy it, but they COULD do it if they chose. They are not really stuck or stranded being weird with no hope of escape like I am!)

It is never said by the sort of people that others are embarrassed to be seen talking to.

It is never said by the “terminally uncool”.

It is never said by “the socially dreaded”

.

Yep,

It’s a weird ass coincidence all right?!

.

It feels similar the same sort of strange constant coincidence that mystically connects wealthy entitled people to professional success and respect.

Like when a mega CEO tells us plebby peasants, that we could also be a Mega CEO if we worked hard enough… …It is us peasants’ own fault that we are not also modern-day new kings.

.

It feels similar the same sort of strange constant coincidence that connects above average looking humans with falling in love and marriage.

Like when the sort of person that is ‘ok looking’ tells us ugly wankers, that “Looks don’t really matter”, that “once people get to know you, they will find you romantically attractive.”

.

It feels like the same sort of language’s but in set slightly different theatre’s…

The theatre is essentially the same, only the posters and the curtain colour has changed.

It feels like the same sort of language but replaced with a social context instead…

.

The sort of language used by some well-liked person, when they tell, one of us ‘total fuck ups’ that we could be ok, liked, loved and normal if we just followed their precious life advice… …It us untouchable, friendless mutants, own fault that we can never be acceptable, belong or be accepted.

.

But just as the privileged backgrounded CEO’s in the financial world –

In exactly that same fashion…

But just as the “nice to look at” in the dating world –

In exactly that same fashion…

…In the social world, when it comes to these so easily loved people

Again, In exactly that same fashion…

It must just be a weird coincidence.

Yet another weird ass coincidence.

Just a coincidence.

No reason to look to hard at it.

Only a coincidence.

A constantly happening all the time coincidence.

That is all that it is,

Nothing more.

.

That is all.

    Truth! I am one of the socially awkward you mention. Alas.
