More thoughts on the bubble people. Have you ever been bewildered by the misconceptions of others? Does it seem sometimes that they have misinterpreted an action or event about as poorly as a person could?

Well consider it from the bubble persons point of view. They don’t need to know the truth, only how something makes them feel. How wonderful to be free of the burden of knowing the truth or context of an event. They can just decide that: this “thing” made me feel bad, therefore it is. It doesn’t matter if this “thing” was perfectly natural given circumstances or a completely just response to their very own bubble condition. Now remember we all have the bubble at times, it’s those of us that recognize it in themselves that don’t let it ruin their lives. It’s the ones who except and embrace the bubble as the natural state of things that are in trouble.

Those of us who rule the bubble have emotional responses to events but are able to look back over the event and realize that given the context there was nothing wrong here. The event may have bruised our feelings, but hey we’re grown up…. Get over it. One of the glowing traits of a person who rules the bubble is that they can freely admit: Hey, I fucked up. Learn from it and move on (apologize if necessary).

To the bubble lover the inside is as insidious as the outside of the bubble. When they float happily in the middle of the bubble they believe all is well with them and their actions. The world around them could not be happier to be subjected to their “me centric” point of view. When others have had enough and comments or actions make the bubble person think “about themselves” they start floating closer to the inside edge. This is when all sorts of strange behavior comes out of them. It seems that they have to act especially self centered to ward off the truth. As if only some absolutely abhorrent act will push them comfortably back to the center.

Enough ranting for now. Just remember, it’s all or duties to pop the bubble when ever possible. Just like Neo in the Matrix, they’ll thank you when they know the truth. The truth being that their own self importance is the fertile ground that the bubble grows in. It’s better to shed that skin and join the world.
