I'm an adult now. I don't need anyone telling me how to live my life).
I can't stand anyone telling me what to do or not to do, but I think the biggest issue I have with people in authority is trust. My experiences have taught me that no-one can ever really be trusted.
It's not just hostility and lack of trust though. I have a lot anger in me. I feel like I'm angry at everyone. At the entire fuking world, but it's the people who think they have authority over me that really bring out the worst in me.
- When you have to interact with them for whatever reason, how do you feel about police officers, doctors, psychologists and/or teachers (if you're in school or uni) etc? Have you had issues with them in the past? Explain.
- Were you're parents/caregivers very disciplined with you while growing up? Did you ever feel like they were trying to control your life? How did you react to their discipline and/or lectures?
I feel neutral towards them. That said I try to avoid them if possible.
I don't think people in authority are inherently worse or less trustworthy than anyone else, as some people in this thread have stated. To get into that position usually requires showing trustworthiness and integrity.
Then again there are
corrupt authority figures. That is someone I would despise. This probably happens mostly in corrupt societies though or in situations where a person can pull strings from within. Its the exception rather than the rule.
That said I already said on here I was travelling once and needed an authority figure to help me with something for me and they tried to coerce me to have sex with them in order to do it. When I didn't, they caused problems for me and to this day I am probably banned from that country just because that person. That wasn't pleasant. That was just one person though, and doesn't mean everybody in the same position is that way.
