I have definitely been the only one in the room to realize that the person everybody likes, is a snake.

Were I the first and only person in ghe world to realize this? No, definitely not. But in that particular constellation of people in one specific room at one specific time, I was and it fucking sucked everytime it happened.

There have also been plenty of times where I was the one to figure out late that someone was shitty because I kept believing in the best of them, and that also sucks.

Can't judge people who don't catch on early to someone being a shit person.

This was a while ago, but it was a Tuesday night at my bar and Cillian Murphy was there by himself, and he hung out and chatted with me for like an hour, hour and a half. I was a 20-somethiing bartender at the time- there was no one else there really, he had no reason to be nice other than he was just a nice guy. He was a 20-something superstar as well, this was after the Dark night

aka Sergeant Doakes syndrome

MrBeast before 2024. Everyone seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about the guy's content and I don't recall him attracting too much drama before the Dawson situation.

Which is something I just couldn't compell. A guy who's content is so extremely materialistic became a symbol of le reddit wholesomeness. Basically all his content is just him being a feudal lord sitting on a high horse, throwing money at peasants performing humiliating acts to his amusement.

Fucking disgusting.

It happened to me with many disgraced celebrities, but so far the worst one has been Leonardo DiCaprio. After The Beach, he gives me a horribly bad vibe. Strangely enough, it doesn't happen with anything he did before The Beach.

Whatever horrible thing he did that stained his soul to such a degree, it must have happened between Celebrity and the end of filming The Beach. It's as if he became 25, went to Thailand, and did something that turned him evil or something.

I'm having this when it comes to the movie Casablanca. Everyone is like "oh, what a timeless romance", and all I see is a bromance of two guys who won't let women go to safety with their families unless they sleep with them.

Me for Bill Gates and Mark Cuban, back when everyone loved them. Bill Gates was basically idolized on reddit, partaking on reddit santa and all that.

Me for Jack Black

My friend group was in our late teens, we partied hard, we had each others backs... but we were so very inexperienced with the world. Then this one girl brought her new boyfriend... early thirties, soldier, fit, cool, experienced.

I had this instant dislike, his words were... too smooth, his jokes were funny, yes, but also cruel. He radiated a kind of coolness like uranium radiates poison. Everybody was all over him, the lads wanted to be like him, the lasses wanted him. I could not bring myself to like him and got accused of being jealous.

He broke up some lifelong friendships and budding relationships. He ended up getting two of the girls pregnant and went to prison because one of them was underage at the time. I feel vindicated, but I can't say I'm happy about it. The only good thing to come out of that is that I left that group and went a different way in life.

I don't adore anyone, but I try not to think ill of people, either. The self is the lens we see the world through, so if we're always giving credence to the negative within us, that is what grows and what we see more of.

Gavin Newsom.

The very first time I ever saw a picture of the guy, he gave me "80s movie bad guy who wants to buy the local community center to tear it down and build a shitty hotel" vibes.

Genetics, hormones, neuronal activity, personality disorders; all leave subtle traces on the face and behavior. Humanity is specialized to pick those clues up but some people are more sensible to it.

Sometimes the bad vibes are from the mere fact that everybody is adoring that person instead of you.

There is this one guy I know in the org I'm with who gives me these vibes. I have been extremely open about this. I will not engage with him or talk with him. Everyone seems to like him for some reason, but every red flag for me was triggered for some reason. He comes off as extremely manipulative. As petty and vindictive. As emotionally immature. As 'not safe to be around' period. I have not a shred of doubt that he would be a domestic abuser.
