I am a jerk.

I am a jerk. Atleast that's what someone has told me. I was blamed in all the things that I do. I never get things right. I was never right. Every time I decided to do something in my own choice, I would always be the jerk one. People would just stare with a you're-a-mess face or be mad at me. they would shrug off like I would never change or I will always be a jerk in any decision or action I make. I will always be the one who makes everybody cry and the blame will always be on me. Sometimes its tiring, well, I'm used to it. But at times, it left me thinking, "What did I do wrong again?" Was I really a mess? How could everything be always wrong with what I do? How could they judge conceitedly that I completely made a fool again when I did think about what I had chosen? Yes, there are times that what I did was out of control and I admit my mistakes. But, I'm a human right? I'll be wrong at one point in my life. How could people wronged me immediately from the mistakes that I did and will never do again. Are they even perfect in the first place? I am thinking endlessly what's wrong with these people. I was just doing what I thinks. A person will always be entitled to a choice no matter what the circumstances are. I just went with my own choice. That is not being a jerk I suppose. Any jerks out there?

You're only a jerk if you consciously know the choices you make are causes some form of harm to people. Reflect on this with your past choices and future ones.

How would you know they are bad choices when you think it was right?

Everyone has done something wrong when they thought it was right. People make mistakes. If we didn't have errors, we would be gods. It's called being human, like you said. Doesn't make you a jerk. Only makes you a jerk if, regardless if you think it's right or wrong, you make a choice knowing that someone will be hurt by your actions.

Sorry to hear that someone called you that. It's awful when people call us name and we know that it is way off base. Continue to do your best to improve yourself. When you are happy with the things you accomplish what others say or do has little merit. So if you think you need to work on things, do that for you and not for others. We can't always please everybody.

Yes I am one too! No matter what I do or decide or how hard I work or how many times I help out others it's never good enough. Today my new dentist kicked me out. Why? Because I came with pain, she said nothing is wrong, they can't see anything wrong on the X-ray. I told them what I think the problem might be (so now you tell me what you think you have?). Two days later big abcess.. not according to the dentist, just back from hospital, had to go over there in need. The specialist over there agreed with me.. it was an abcess (thanks to the dentist)they cut it open.. long way to go next days/weeks/months? A lot of money will be wasted, my money. But who cares I am a jerk? I only care about the fact I am right and I don't need a dentist like that, or people who tell me I am no good, a jerk or whatever. You are never wondering why people always ask or your help, your opinion although you are the jerk?

I wonder why would you accept being called a jerk? Could you tell me more about yourself that allowed you to willingly rename yourself with that 'queer' label. Aauecon06, I would call you a jerk if you: (1) hurt my or anyone's feeling by laughing or embarrassing me or anyone over a simple error in speach, diction, or writing;(2) ask someone for cash, which was denied, and as a result of the noncompliance, you continue to embarrass or bully the individual over it; (3) get upset over trivial matters, or get unnecessarily angry over an unwarranted situation, which could be resolved otherwise; (4)do an unkind act, and be unapologetic about it; (5) prone to mistakes, because of being 'clutsy'; (6) a 'deliberate' spoiler of good fun; (7) make false claims to be great at something and the evidence proves otherwise; and (8) be openly cruel or unsymphathetic to the unfortunate (whether fellow human beings or other species of the animal kingdom). Based on those points listed above, I do not see how you could qualify as being a jerk. The only reason why people may choose to call you a jerk (and I vehemiently disagree with their position on the matter) is that you are brutally honest! Everyone in the human race is entitled to make mistakes, and shouldbe given an opportunity to correct the situation. So what? I suggest that you should stop beating up yourself because of your disposition, your principles, and mettle. Love yourself, ok?

Now that you have known your mistakes you can learn from them and mistakes are life lessons,a part of your journey as you grow older,so you'd know whats right or wrong.All of us is not perfect.Doing things your own doesn't make you a jerk but it proves that you are willing to take risk and you are brave.Maybe the people who gets mad at you are judgmental or they expect something good from you.I don't know why they would cry but you could try and be sensitive to them and try to put your shoes to theirs(that's just a suggestion,I'm not being judgmental =) ).
