I am tired of being a disappointment to people. Before you make friends with me, here are things you should know about me.
- I will act like I am better than you a good percentage of the time.
- I will often make you feel like I don’t have enough time for you, or you’re not important enough for me to stop what I’m doing.
- I can be pretty oversensitive, taking things too personally or seriously. Something you may see as nothing may seem actually important to me.
- If I’m upset at you, you may be put through some form of silent treatment - usually, this isn’t to piss you off, it’s so that I can gather my emotions and not say something rash or unfair or biting just because I’m hurt. But it still stinks.
- I’m a chronic enabler.
- If we’re romantically interested in each other, I slowly begin to have insanely high knight-in-shining armor standards that are unfair, suffocating, and easy to buckle under.
- Sometimes, I will hog all of the attention at your parties. (Other times I will fall asleep, or stare disinterestedly.)
- I do good things in order to feel like a saint.
- I can be very, very blunt.
- I may be lazy, paralyzed by feeling like I have too much to do, or just not feel like trying that hard.
- Exceptions to the blunt rule are situations where I feel the need to hide my feelings. Then, I tend to hold them inside me for (quite possibly) years until, once they’ve stewed for a good long time, I realize I really don’t like you anymore, start acting really distant, push you away, and leave you wondering why.
- I can be very cold sometimes.
- I joke about being annoyed with people when I really am annoyed with them.
- I love way too many people at once. (Don’t underestimate how much this messes things up sometimes.)
- Frequently, I (apparently) refuse to see an opposite view, even when it’s obvious. Basically, chances are, I don’t know it when I’m wrong.
- I can hold fearsome grudges.
- I’m very stubborn and sometimes don’t know when to let go of things.
- I guilt-trip people for things, very subtly.
- On rare occasions, I gossip.
- I think I am smarter than I am.
- I don’t believe in buying, like, anything except for necessities.
- Sometimes I will either: make you feel stupid, or make you feel like I think you are stupid.
- I tend to be the serious/heavy one and drag down.
- I flirt with strangers. A lot. I will blow kisses back.
- I change my personality around boys that I am attracted to.
- I’m narcissistic about my body.
- I’m vain.
- I am not swayed by tears or people being emotional. I expect them to get over their emotions and grow up.
- When I’m upset, I snap at innocent people and then spin words to make it sound like I had a good reason for snapping.
- Sometimes, I dress in clothing specifically to attract boys/flaunt my body.
- Also, I tend to not know what is inappropriate to discuss with the opposite gender. Or I expect them to be reasonable and deal with it, and say all kinds of rash things.
- I’m a slow learner.
- It takes a long time for me to really value your opinion. Often, I will disregard you or brush you off.
- I can be impossibly hard to read, and sometimes make it more difficult on purpose just to see how hard you’re willing to try.
- Sometimes, I will want two conflicting things from you at once, and get frustrated that you can’t do them both.
- Other times, I will expect you to fill a role you have no idea how to fill and then make you feel like you’re letting me down.
- I’m competitive.
- I rarely clean up after myself, or do anything I deem “unimportant,” rudely leaving it for someone else to take care of.
- I have really long hair but the bottom is all split end.
- I shower every other day. (I don’t see this as a fault, but, you might, so.)
- Usually, I’m the last person to get upset. People will be like, “HELLO, are you going to feel anything yet?” and I’m still completely chill.
- I tend to have thoughts instead of emotions. Or, my emotions are reactions to my thoughts. I always have a reason, for everything. And I always want to hear YOUR reasons for everything.
- Sometimes I’ll get frustrated for a really unfair reason. And I won’t realize how unfair I was being for a long time.
- I may manipulate things so that people feel sorry for me.
- I shift blame.
- I am proud.
- If I dislike something for a reason, and you just like it because it’s “awesome.” I will be totally annoyed at you. And think I’m, without a doubt, objectively right.
- If I have any sort of liquid in my hand, there is an 85-90% chance I will spill it all over myself and the surrounding area before I have finished drinking it.
- I am ignorant.
- I am selfish.
- I tend toward ego-centrism.
- I get jealous.
- I am not patient enough.
- If you are having an emotional breakdown and I determine that it is for an illegitimate reason, I will not give you the amount of sympathy you deserve. Instead, I will very frustratingly try to talk sense of you, most likely during the exact moment where getting sense talked into you is the last thing in the world that you want.
- Then I will feel annoying and wonder from then on if you hate me.
- This page is partially a ploy to make people either think I am brave and honest, or feel sorry for me. Or let me off easily.
Think carefully if you really want to be friends with me now that you know these things. I am not being modest, I’m being honest.
