It's hot as balls here in the Northeast, so my energy level is at an all-time low. So is my tolerance level. Hence, this week's Deep Thoughts Thursday with The Boozy Weathergirl is dedicated to my tips on how to be less of an annoying person (in my humble opinion, of course).
1
Smile more - You have no idea how much better your day will be if you pout less and smile more. Also, you have no idea how you can brighten someone else's day with a grin. If you're someone plagued with resting bitch face, well, practice in the mirror, dammit. It will help with skin tightness over time too.
2
Be generous, but not stupid - I am a giver. To a fault. But I do recognize when my thoughtfulness is appreciated and when I'm being duped. So, donate what you can, when you can, even if it's just time you're giving someone. But also protect yourself when some douche takes advantage of your kindness. Only you can let yourself be used.
3
Make people laugh - Being a funny person is a gift. Trust me, just saying whatever is on your mind in the moment will usually get a giggle. Even if that thing is kind of insulting. If it's true, then it's funny to someone with a sense of humor. And if they're not that kind of person, why the hell are you associating with them anyway?
4
Value friendship - You don't need to have a ton of friends. But you do need at least one or two ride-or-dies that you know have your back. I have friends from the time I popped out of the womb to last week. The people I keep around are people who make me feel better about me. And even if I don't talk to them all the time, they know they can reach out whenever they need me. Think about that and invite someone out for drinks who you haven't seen in a while. That's never dull.
5
Family - These are the people who you can't choose to be with, yet they're always there. Sometimes fun, sometimes sucking the life out of you. No families are as perfect as they appear on social media. And if they are, they're all smoking weed, daily, on a commune in Maui. So, try to love them, or at least make them think you love them so they leave you in their will. And if they really suck, that's why you have friends.
6
Be spontaneous - This includes taking risks, within reason. I'm not saying you should bungee jump off a building or anything. But I do think you can skip that day of work to get away to the beach, with friends and cocktails. Or force yourself out for that last-minute invitation on a friend's boat, because how could that be bad? Live for today. We all know that tomorrow is definitely not guaranteed.
7
Accept your body - We can't all be Cindy Crawford or Chris Hemsworth, folks. And how boring would life be if we were? We need squishy people, like me, who are fluffy and huggable, just as much as we need rock hard bodies to admire. If exercise makes you feel great, then you do you. But if lounging with a cocktail and a donut is more your style, then YOU do you too. Stop being judgmental or making people feel like they are less, because we're all going to die. And the show I'm planning for my time in Hell is going to be stellar.
8
Swearing is not tacky - I cannot control my trash mouth. I simply need to drive many points home with expletives. It's not because I am simple or uneducated. I actually fucking love the word fuck. It makes me happy. And when it's used in a comical sense, it's damn hilarious. So stay out of my shit, leave me the fuck alone and let me be the bad bitch I was born to be. Thank you.
9
Set limits - No one likes a sloppy drunk. So sip enough to stay witty, don't drink to get shitty. Tipsy you should be enjoyable and relaxed, not obnoxious and annoying. And if alcohol ain't your thing, control whatever vice you do have, because we all have at least one (or in my case, many).
10
Be nice - This is just one of those "duh" things. Let's face it, no one would even care about anything I wrote if I was an asshole. Kind people are better. Period.
