Conditioned Taste Aversion
I have always been the type of person to say what I mean and mean what I say. Unless I’m in a jovial state of mind, I tend not to beat around the bush, nor play games with the words that I speak. I don’t partially believe the things that I say because that sort of thing doesn’t make any sense to do and it’s just dumb. I don’t say things with the intent of believing only some of what I’ve just said. This would be one of those “all or nothing” situations.
I don’t “talk shit”, especially when what I’m saying happens to be true. What I say may not always be flattering or appealing, and if my words portray someone in an accurate, though negative light, I have done nothing wrong. So be it. People can be cocky and erroneously arrogant all they want. They just need to be ready to be called out when they misspeak or say something that doesn’t make sense.
Just because she thinks so highly of herself, this doesn’t mean that she is somehow above being called out for the things that she says and does. She is not impervious in that regard. She can still be a shitty person, flaws and all. She can also believe that I adore her all she wants. She can refer to herself as cocky all she likes.
She is of the mindset that she is what I want and I’m comfortable letting her think that. It’s not worth the argument. So, what if I think that she’s a shitty person? I’m just going to let her be. After all, if she thinks she’s great, who am I to challenge that?
Contrary to her belief, she is not always in my head, nor does she have to be a topic of discussion. I write about a lot of things. So what if she happens to be one of the many, many things I write about?
Even if I’ve had a taste of something, the brain is set up to where I’m not going to be pursuing poison. That’s the beauty of a conditioned taste aversion. It is truly classical conditioning at its finest.
Who the fuck eats poison anyway? That’s just dumb.
Well, technically we are all eating poison, but that’s another conversation.
