Can't control your image...

[matius]

Isn't being a DJ about controlling your image so to speak. I'm just wondering what others do about getting made fun of. For example, well you all have friends, you know the ones that try to find one weakness and then pick at it until you just get annoyed at the fact that they think they are getting to you with it.

I got a couple of those and they could easily use it when a whole group of women and/or friends are hanging out. Don't get me wrong, I can fire back if I have to but I prefer to not be a small jabber like that. I'd rather go for the heavy hits.

What do you do when someone starts to diss or try to make you look bad. It's difficult to keep it cool when it comes consistent. Maybe nobody else has to deal with that shyte or doesn't care- but it is hard to control your image when you have dildos trying to be little jabbers.

I get this all the time

Yeah, you get this, specially when you're alpha and betas are jealous.

I just ignore it for a while, and then calm and coolly turn around and say something like: "Wow, what a great criticism, I'll make sure to do that in future" or similar. But I make the sarcastic tone very subtle, so they're not sure if I'm serious or not. Throws them off, and the chicks dig it.

Then again, I slag (our word for busting on someone), I slag people all the time, so I'm well able to take it myself. It's only when someone goes seriously over the top that I would use the above. Otherwise light-hearted banter is fun.

Oh, and dead-panning - keeping a straight face while saying something crazy - that's fun! I've gotten into trouble a lot when people believe what I've said though.

Osc.

Some people are just naturally like that, but others will attempt to destroy an image if they percieve it as fake.

You can project an image, but if it's all just a front it won't stand up to pressure. You have to be the image, and make it part of your core.

There was a post on projecting the image and then going home to a messy apartment eating ramen in your dirty briefs. If you want to be seen as a dynamic sophisticated guy, you have to start with your personal space and work ******ds.

If you want to project a dynamic image, be a dynamic person. Fill your life with positive things, and remove anything negative. Then you will find that people treat you as a positive spirit automatically.

why can I not say out wards?

Ragging on someone is just a test of wit and humor, c & f at its best. A Dj should keep cool and controlled and nail the guy back...if they are really degrading you in front of girls and people to the point your image is tarnished, don't hang out with them...you don't need that crap

Excellent point. What I'm trying to say is that I've had low self-esteem days- but I'm working on becoming the positive dynamic man...I don't front with a false persona- I try to think positive, motivate and get in shape. Maybe some of these rags come from those days.

So maybe my friends are just jerks. By the way, I don't think they have the balls to try and rip me up in front of women I'm trying to hang with- but I guess it's something in my 'still working' attitude that makes me worry about it.

True but the more I fire back the more it escalates...it's one of those things that just won't go away you know. What bothers me is I don't try to put on a front, but I still get the jabs consistently.

This could be the most irritating point of all. A reason to be bothered by the banter- That's why I said they think they're getting to me, it would piss me off the most to know they think that my rap is fake. F()ck that. I think I prove I'm motivated by action- grief shouldn't have to be a part of it.

Anyway, it's good to write it. Thanks.

Ive noticed that 95% of the women (and probably most of the guys) who take the time to talk about me are on my jock anyway. I usually just laugh it off and try to come up with something witty in response. The response should be more witty than insulting. Insulting makes it personal and thats no good. Its always nice to hear a chick who was ripping on you, screaming your name at the end of the night. While im screwing their brains out I make them repeat what they said about me earlier.

If your "boys" try to rat on you in public just say this:

A man, the merchant call yesterday and told me to tell you that your toe ring is ready for pickup!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

I bet they can't come back at something like that.

Just helping out

peace
