So, my last post was about the people I trust and good friends (eventually I want to write something about Brian but I am afraid to bore all zero of you to tears with talk of how much I like him). This post is about how naive and trusting I can be and how it causes me to be hurt and walked on. I know I am not the only one, I am not trying to sound special or anything, just perceptive from my own experiences. What made me think of it is today at work an older woman made comment at how since I don't always feel comfortable sending food back at restaurants that I am going to eat bad food. Now while I grasp the concept, its the tone with which people convey their opinions. I am no worse for the wear from having a so-so dining experience and I don't feel like I was slighted but I find it odd that people feel the need to project their "if you don't do it my way, you are doing it wrong" mentality. I don't know that people realize how they are perceived, I am not perfect and I am certain I have hurt someones feelings. But lets all try a teeny bit harder to be less jackass.
I have posted before about lying, seriously just to make it clear DO NOT LIE TO ME. I have met some people who I thought ooh cool!, I could be friend with these people only to slowly find out that they have been deceptive about their true personality. I like people for who they are, not who they pretend they are. And it bums me out because when people cannot be truthful about the most simple things how can I trust that they will be truthful when life gets sticky.
So, I have gotten better about giving people seventh chances... I am more on the line of allowing third chances now... less painful for me in the long run and I look less stupid. Some day I shall progress to second chances... the same time I start regularly updating blog posts...
I guess I could go on with a thousand tales of woe and whatnot but meh... It is Friday and Fridays are good.
