Some Things Never Change
For the record, the entry from 2/27 was not about anything sexual in nature. Jesus people!
I wrote a letter to someone revealing how I was feeling. Something I had done before with this person...in person many years ago. It was scary then, and scary now. And seemingly pretty useless.
I've filled out a lot of surveys in the past asking my "what's your pet peeve" or "what do you hate"?
I always had a really hard time with that question..as there are SO MANY things that bother me on a daily basis.
But I think I got it.
I hate it when people avoid the issue. I hate it when someone says they're to do something and they don't...without much explaination and then avoid you because they're afraid of telling you "no".
Perfect example:
Guy and girl meet. Guy and girl have sex. Guy says "I'll call you." or Girl says "Call me." And then he doesn't . Because he had no intention of calling her in the first place but was afraid of telling her that. At the very LEAST, he could have called and said:
"Listen, I had a really great time last night, but I'm just not interested in taking things further. I'm really sorry. I like you, I respect you..." and while she may be disappointed, I bet 10 to 1 she feels a hell of a lot better about herself than she would after a week of no call and wondering what she did wrong. I can attest to the merit of the latter choice as it happened to me. And it was a really kind and polite moment in my life, and I harbor no ill will towards that man at all. Yes, man. He called that same day to tell me that rather than leaving me to hang and saved me a lot of discomfort.
And no. that's not what I'm going through right now. It's just an illustration of the feelings that come up for me when something similar happens. Doesn't even have to have anything to do with sex.
It can be as simple as calling when you're going to be late...not a big deal right? Well, what if you don't call? The other person is sitting around waiting for you. Their time is just as important as yours. Why not respect that?
here's what else I hate:
broken promises
lame excuses
disrespect
lying
Fucking cowardice.
LC is mad at the world today.
