I've heard this so many times in my life, "I'm only telling you this because I trust you, I'm only saying this because I'm trying to help." If you were to say this and do this, it'd offend people. Oh, how about potentially offending me? You wanna see how I am if I'm offended? They tell me that they are only reactive to my behaviors and words, though from my perspective, I'm reacting to their words and behaviors. They have a need, they have a problem, i can provide, yet isn't it my freedom to provide what I can, not to provide what you ask of me? Cuz isn't at that point I'm just a slave of yours? that execute your orders, your wants and needs, when this is my life. They bring a problem to me, I offer a solution. They ask me to collaborate with them to help, I say yes. Somehow, in the end, it's all my fault for offering solutions, and it's my fault for offering that I'm able to help. It's even more of my fault for stopping to offer help. Isn't the world interesting? I guess I should have played dumb all along, and just nodded along when people complained, "oh, i'm so sorry that happened to you, i wish i could help." You know what, maybe I should start charging people for advice and offering solutions. That's ought to shut everyone up.
How about not trusting me then? Please treat me as someone you don't trust. Please make everything strictly business. The inability for people to just stay connected and being friends, whatever that means these days, is disappointing, they always gotta milk something of a connection, and it can't just stay how it is. Making friends as a college kid was disappointing, making friends as an adult is even more disappointing. I guess we all gotta just go back to kindergarten, but oh wait, unless you are well protected from a decent upbringing, you ain't that safe as little children either. So you ask me why i have so much anger, and complaints, i ask you why you don't have any, and turn a blind eye. How about you stop asking me to chill the fuck out, and i stop asking you to pay more attention. A person to another person, respecting their decisions as their own is the first pillar of a mutually respected relationship, isn't it? Why is that so hard to do, I don't understand.
