theatrical-muse topic 139: Do you tend to make friends easily? Why/why not?
I don't know if I do have anyone I'd consider a friend, by the standard meaning of the word. In times past, I'd had people around me who I had to make think I was their friend, and that they could trust me. But did they actually know me, trust me, not the person I was portraying that day?
No.
Always, it seems, I've been playing some kind of game with the people around me. No real friends, to tell the truth. At The Shed I had to play nice with Gibson, but I wasn't her friend, though she thought I was. There have just been so many people in and out of my life either by being moved up or down through the ranks or being eraticated that I've stopped even remotely trying to keep track. The only reason I can even remember Gibson is because a- she tried to kill me, which few get the chance to do, and b- fucking snakes.
But do I make friends easily? If I have to do it, yes, I can do it easily. I can make someone trust me in no time flat. I can draw the secrets out of them, be able to read their mood and know whats going on inside their head. I'm good with manipulating people.
Now, actual relationships that aren't going to effect my chosen career path in some way? Uh.. We'll leave that at the "not so good" place and never come back to it.
No.
