So I feel kinda proud of myself because today at work some guy (with a lower position them me) flipped out and started throwing shit in my section because he thought I was moving too slow but his dumbass doesn't understand my duties and responsibilities and my supervisor asked me to do something for him in another section so I got kinda behind with my work

Anyways the whole time he was flipping out and being an ass I just stared at him like Jim from the office and I didn't say a word, in fact I went to another section and started chatting with a coworker since my job was done anyways 😑. I think I should be proud of myself because I maintained a masculine frame and didn't react to his bullshit but at the same time I'm not sure if I should always be so quiet.

Like the other day my mom got mad at me because this girl at my job decided to yell at me in front of everyone for putting something somewhere she didn't want it. Everyone kind of glanced at me but I still didn't say anything and i just smiled and said ok and moved it. My mom was pissed because quote, "a man doesn't let people disrespect him like that, especially some woman" 😑.

The problem I have is that I'm not an asshole and whenever someone says some shit or does something I'm kinda unprepared to respond so i just don't say anything. I'm a think before I speak kinda guy but when your at work and some asshole yells or disrespects me I can't come up with a solution quick enough so I just don't even try. Any ideas? Thanks

How to solve problems?

“Stop thinking, and end your problems.
What difference between yes and no?
What difference between success and failure?
Must you value what others value,
avoid what others avoid?
How ridiculous!

Other people are excited,
as though they were at a parade.
I alone don't care,
I alone am expressionless,
like an infant before it can smile.

Other people have what they need;
I alone possess nothing.
I alone drift about,
like someone without a home.
I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.

Other people are bright;
I alone am dark.
Other people are sharp;
I alone am dull.
Other people have purpose;
I alone don't know.
I drift like a wave on the ocean,
I blow as aimless as the wind.

I am different from ordinary people.
I drink from the Great Mother's breasts.”
