Tip#473: How To Feel Good When You Feel Horrible - Horrible Bosses

Since my previous blog post I counted the birthday wishes I received on my Facebook wall and was stunned to discover over 225 messages! It simply made me feel so good to receive so many positive acknowledgements. I appreciated the kind gestures so much that I thanked each and every Facebook friend personally!

Doesn't it feel good when someone wishes you a happy birthday or to be acknowledged for what you say or do in a positive way? On the flipside being treated negatively feels horrible. I've been bullied in school and had unpleasant professional relationships as well as dealing with abusive people in general. So sometimes a movie that lives out dark fantasies of retribution can be a release and satisfying way to feel good again!

Horrible Bosses 2011

The dark comedy Horrible Bosses is about 3 friends who hate their bosses so much they conspire to help one another kill them off. Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) all have extremely abusive bosses which generates much of the raunchy humour in the film. And there is a lot! FYI!

It's hilarious seeing what each of these friends must endure to earn a paycheck. Kurt's boss is cocaine-addicted Bobby played by Colin Farrell (wearing a balding hairpiece!) While Dale must endure over the top sexual abuse from his boss Dr. Julia Harris played by an extremely naughty Jennifer Aniston.

In the end it was fun to see these friends try to support one another and receive some satisfying retribution. No one deserves to be treated badly. And sometimes a dark comedy such as this can lift you up if you are dealing with abusive relationships. Treat yourself and have a good, re-energizing laugh! You will feel good again!

great post! and happy belated birthday!

killing him/her with kindess never works. i think holding your own tactfully commands a level of respect a buly boss has to respect eventually.
