Key Types of Weirdos There Are On The Internet
thoughtcatalog
Modern social media provides two significant opportunities provided to teens and twenty-somethings: One, to invent one’s own identity/methods of personal representation [sometimes post-ironically referred to as ‘personal brand’] and two, to garner followings, ‘micro-fame’ or other forms of instant gratification-oriented attention through strategic but not especially intense effort.
Given that there are millions of young people at a time attempting to create identities and social infrastructures for themselves, generally these constructs tend to cling together, influence one another and form generally-identifiable ‘types,’ as is expected in any mass social environment. Some of these types are less comprehensible than others.
For example, it is fairly reasonable and expected that young people interested in fashion/fashion design would form a community related to their fashion-oriented Tumblr/Lookbook pages and generally engage in behavior that engenders participation in their community, e.g. sharing or ‘hyping’ one another’s “looks,” contacting individuals with similar tastes/interests or even engaging in certain breeds of gossip and/or competitive behaviors. Or that people with aspirations to become music bloggers would generally socialize amongst themselves, create sets of norms or palate commonalities that would enable them to ‘cross-promote’ one another or develop a beneficial network of new music writers.
Other types are less immediately understandable; for the purposes of this discussion they should be considered “weird,” and only for the purposes of this discussion. It is anticipated that many readers of this discussion will presume to be meta, clever or for some reason affronted by the blanket categorization of a group that does not include them and feel inclined to comment on this article something to the effect of “people who write internet articles about how others on the internet are ‘weird’ are weird;” there is no need for you to do this. Just chill.
Every so often you will receive a Facebook friend request from someone you do not know, except they have approximately 10-20 of your somewhat related friends in common as ‘mutuals’ [example: Individual is friends with Tao Lin, Muumuu House, Bebe Zeva, Ryan O’Connell, Brandon Scott Gorrell, Luna Miguel, Megan Boyle, Marie Calloway, Zac Zellers, Noah Cicero and Blake Butler). You may assume that this person is a friend of all these people you know and accept the request.
It should be noted that in the ‘weirdo’ context, individual is differentiated from “Facebook user who is merely interested in/wishes to share in the culture in which the mutual friends of yours participate.” In the ‘weirdo’ context, the individual has selected a name for him/herself that is not actually their name, may have a Facebook profile picture that is probably some kind of icon/mandala, and has posted only enough personal details for you to be aware that the individual lives far away from you, has strange or possibly aggressive ‘likes’ or interests listed on his/her profile, and is otherwise probably not compatible with you as a person nor is likely to actually be friends with any of your friends.

What To Do When You Lose Your Composure | CMOE
Anyone can lose their temper at work. It is a mistake that almost everyone makes more than once. When you are the leader of a team, the consequences of a lapse in composure are much more serious.
Not too long ago I was witness to a leader, who I respect, losing his composure in a meeting with his team. Frankly speaking, it was a real mess.
The meeting started off fine but he became more and more irritated and then quite emotional and intense as he expressed his disappointment in the team.
Some team members tried to argue back, which only made it worse. It was an extremely uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. It was a classic case of a team leader losing his temper and not controlling his emotional reactions.
The team felt defeated and it was painfully obvious in their demeanor and body language. I felt like saying, “Morale cleanup on Aisle 5.”
As I reflected on the situation, I believe that the leader was under a lot of pressure that day, not to mention the team was in fact falling short in some key areas.
In his heart, I know that he cares deeply about his team members, but the frustration got the best of him that day. His disappointment was certainly warranted, but the way he handled the situation really took a toll on the team’s morale.
You may know the feeling—you actions and behaviors get hijacked by your emotions. So what do you do to resolve the situation, restore morale, and build up trust again? Well it isn’t easy and it takes time, but there are a few things you can do to get the cleanup process started:
Let yourself “cool off” and reflect on what you said and did. Make sense of the situation so you can objectively find a solution.
As soon as possible, deal with the situation and take responsibility for your actions. This will help people see that you are being proactive rather than reactive. You definitely don’t want to pretend it didn’t happen or take a “wait and see” approach.
Verbally acknowledge that you allowed your emotions to get the best of you and provide a genuine apology. You don’t necessarily have to apologize for your perspective or feelings about the issue, but you should take responsibility for how you handled it.
Avoid making excuses or placing blame. While you may have what you think are legitimate excuses, others will likely feel like you are not being sincere.
Depending on the situation, you may have to allow others to express their thoughts and feelings or you may need to meet with individual team members to help repair the relationship.
Avoid getting frustrated with those who feel offended, defeated, or put off. Let them work through their own emotions about your behavior.
Work hard to rebuild morale and your credibility and remember that it may take longer than you would like for the situation to be fully resolved.
