Disingenuous People and What to Do or Not Do About Them

     The definition of disingenuous is not genuine, insincere, dishonest as to what one says and does, not really meaning what one says in regards to others and how one really feels.  This is in my own words, rather than Webster's.
     One of my pet peeves is when people are disingenuous.  An example would be someone saying, "call me any time day or night," and then you go through the worst time of your life, call them once, and they never even bother to call you back, even when you sent them an email to tell them in a nice way they did not call you back. 
     If you call someone and they never return your call, calling again is like stalking unless they are a business or doctor's office, and your life depends on it.  In that case, by all means, call away.
     The important thing to know is that it does not matter.  People who are disingenuous have no business in your life.  In fact the sooner you know this, the better, because the sooner they will be out of your life.  Life is too short to waste time on people who are selfish, self-centered and self-serving.  We all have spent time (some more than others), dealing with mean people, and have lived to regret it.  As soon as you realize that someone is insincere in the least, it is time to walk away and forget about it.  That person is not a friend in any way, shape or form.
     I have friends that I have had for many years, some of whom, I have had quarrels with, drunken misspoken words, yelling matches, and more, but we are still close, close friends, because the relationship is not disingenuous, fake and bullshit.
     Another thing is if someone does not respect your religious or political beliefs unless you share theirs, that is another reason to clean house of them.  Love and respect go hand in hand, and one cannot be sustained without the other, like oxygen and carbon dioxide or hydrogen and oxygen, day and night, flowers and earth, moon and stars, and many more analogies and metaphors.
     So, if someone or something hurts your feelings, ignore him or her.  If something or someone on Facebook is hurtful or makes you feel less than, like your friend has ten-million 'likes' on their picture, and you have ten, then just don't look at them anymore.  Take them off your news feed or block them if you want.  People take Facebook way too seriously anyway, which leads me to the next thing I want to cover.
     Relationships formed on Facebook are usually very superficial, so even if you are somewhat isolated like me, do not take much credence in any of that.  Be careful who you give your phone number to, and especially be careful about your address.
     Basically, anything that makes you sad or mad, can just be ignored, and you will be just fine.  That is how I deal with things.  It is like switching channels on the television with the remote control.  Do not stay anywhere that makes you feel bad in any way whatsoever.
