Does anyone else feel like life would be easier if you were the type of person who just lied all the time?
I'm not like that, even when I try to be. I like to say what I think because it uncomplicates things and usually how you really feel comes out later and people are like why didn't you just say that in the first place?
But when you say it in the first place, people act weird. Like...when a friend starts dating someone and you don't like him. So you tell her. But all your other friends don't like him either and they lie about it so you look like the bad guy. And you just want to say...don't bitch at me, everyone else feels the same way they just don't have the stones to say anything to you about it.
Or when you make an effort to keep in touch with people who don't make an effort back and when they say Oh I have to get off the phone, but I'll call you later!
And you say, no you won't call me later, I'll probably call you later, but if I don't then we just won't talk until I do. So just don't say it. I'd rather you say: I'll be too busy with my own life to worry about calling you so whenever you feel like calling me is when we'll talk again, bye!.....they get all butthurt and act like you've offended them.
Because its true, and they don't like to think they are bad friends. But if you don't want to feel like a bad friend, then don't be a bad friend, or just...don't have friends if you don't really care about them anyway.
Or when you aren't really listening to someone so instead of pretending you say, hmmm....I'm not really listening to you because I don't really have any interest in your toe fungus. It's better then putting the phone on speaker so you know when its your turn to fill a gap of silence while you make your shopping list.
But no one else seems to think so.
Or when someone puts a new shirt on and asks what you think and you say it kind of looks bad on you. Why did they ask me what I think if they get mad that I'm honest?
Or when your best friend blows off your plans for a guy and you tell them thats shit. And they act like you should have pretended you didn't care....and you want to tell them that if thats how they feel they should only keep aquaintences rather than friends because that's how aquaintences act, not friends.
I'm not rude, or constantly brutally honest. I try to be tactful, but I don't like to lie because I don't feel like that's how friends should act.
But would it just be easier too?
That's all. Sorry for the rambling.
Just needed a little rant, I guess.
