Douchebag vs Real
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
Living in Los Angeles, I come across a lot of different people. We have a large population of really genuine awesome people and a large population of douche bags.
The LA douche behavior is centered around the belief “you don’t matter unless I can get something out of you.” This behavior is rooted in insecurity and a need for attention. I felt I needed to do a video about this to help clean up the douche-baggery by shining a light on the truth and offering another way of being…lol! 😉
Please leave your comments and share your stories! I want to know what you think 🙂

Douchebags…Check Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself
Another great video with spot on advice!! Arrogance = fake confidence and
armor for those who feel inferior, empty, threatened and unimportant!! They
go above and beyond to try and make others look bad, but you cant give them
any ribbing! They have to be right at all costs, even when they are wrong.
You can tell them that you have been to the moon, only to be one upped by
their owning season tickets!! The bigger the ego, the lower ones self
esteem!
Sincerely,
An observer of life who hears and sees the world like a kid, and doesn’t
buy falsehood or poseur antics! Most D-bags are not self aware that they
are one. Those that are aware, label others based on fear thinking that it
absolves them from being perceive in that light.
Random D- Bag: ” Hey man…..not to be a douchebag.”
Me: “But you’re going to be one anyway.”
Interesting video once you over stand folks you just laugh and then it all
looks like comedy
Well said, I too live in L.A. and moved away for a few years. When I returned it was so hard to make new friends and it was a long process. Only when I started doing the things I loved, and finding my own creative voice did I meet my true soul friends.
Love your style and you are so on point. Just liked the page and will look forward to more posts. 🙂
You have to go through some weeds to get to the flowers in LA. But once you find your soul friends, it’s the best place in the world 🙂 Thank you for your sweet message! Sending you peace and love <3
As I watched this, I thought to myself “They act like douchebags because
they are insecure and want attention.” then you said it. lol
I’m not gonna go into any douchebag stories because I wouldn’t have
anything to talk about on my channel. haha!
So to summarize this comment… I agree.
I rarely encounter douchebags, but I also am around people older than me
most of the time. Big focus for them is kids, grandkids or retirement. Me
myself, too low key to be like that. Im looking forward to meeting more
spiritual or quality people again when got to socal again. 😉
I think in some instances it is okay to be rude (or a douchebag yourself)
to douchebags. For instance, a classmate of mine once said ”I heard you
are from fraternity X (note: this fraternity is known, or I should say,
stereotypised as students who drink the most and do poorly at university),
is that right?” Then the guy said yes. Then my classmate said ”Ok, then I
am never going to work with you.” Then the guy got really mad..But if we
are real with ourselves, sometimes you need to piss people off to give them
an opportunity to do self-reflection. Being kind is also being about being
real, which can contain some negativity/ no respect for others when you
aren’t feeling it.
Now, I’m not saying that this fraternity member was an actual douche, but
based on my stereotypical beliefs but also experience (yet limited) with
working with people from this fraternity I think the chance was rather
high…
I just stay indoors and play checkers with the housecat. Perhaps I need to
get into LA culture now after hearin this
Oh, douchebaggery is everywhere. But I think it’s a matter of
interpretation. Some people actually consider it cool.
For example, here in the Midwest, it’s common to encounter certain black
women that display douchebaggery. They completely ignore your presence,
meanwhile talking to each other as if they’re standing 100 feet away. They
stand in the middle of hallways or other areas, to force people to walk
around them, or ask them to move. They show no regard or courtesy to other
people around them..
If I saw a guy acting like a douchebag, it wouldn’t bother me in the
slightest. It would be like, he’s doing some sort of “dance” that’s
supposed to be really cool and awesome, but I’m just like, “meh.” Lol. I’m
not impressed by it, therefore I don’t see him as a “big deal” like he’s
trying to make himself out to be.
On the other hand, in my example above with those black women, it is very
off-putting. I think what you and I have in common is that we’re attracted
to these people in some way and therefore want the opportunity for social
interaction. Except their attitude doesn’t allow for it, so instead we feel
rejected.
The thing about douche bags is that they have great power over the opposite
sex; douche bags are good at seeming to be something other than a douche
bag. Many gals and guys lonely or maybe depressed become easy targets of
the north american douche bag. Don’t be blinded by the BS smile and the
seemingly caring attitude they display when they have a target in their
sites. If you open up your douche bag smeller you can smell them coming a
mile away. They smell somewhat like Bullshit 🙂
They’re not cool, their losers, you’re cool cause your a good, moral woman
who has it going on…they are jealous,,,period…
On the other hand, they need love so they can come around!
Love from a very far distance….(; I like to ignore people….like that…
Parties usually suck,,,, I have always noticed that,,,, better to
walk on the beach, get a tan, exercise, parties seem useless….
People want to make connections, how about real life connections,
coffee shops, restaurants, beach, airplanes, whatever…
Parties and Bars……You really don’t need them……brainwashing.
I like the bumper sticker, the more people I meet
the more I love my dog !!! Sorry,, but think about it honestly…
We always remember our dogs, always, the loyalty.
If you’re a man get a good girlfriend or wife.
If you’re a woman get a good boyfriend or husband.
Move to a country with friendly people,
a good economy and low cost of living….
Especially if we work outside the box,,,
moving can be very interesting and life changing.
Parties with quality people are another ballgame.
The problem can be the wrong country???!!!
You know it almost seems like there might be a song there??? Or a book I
can imagine the name ” sniffing out a douche bag; before they can stink up
your life” Beware some put expensive smelly good stuff on that can fool the
DB smellier. Notice how I now call them D.B.’s the smell is the same tho.
That director should set off the douche bag alert; shoooweee I can smell
that guy’s poo from here…good gravy…
Sadly I have been a douche bag before; not proud of it tho. On the other
hand I have met my own douche bags “Female” version. The truth is tho that
they all all emit the same sent. I am proud to tell you that I am no longer
a douche bag; I truly love eveyone and everything.
i meant many di=ocuhe bags i seen like they are bully next
