Rant
I get really frustrated when people have to "out do" me.
When you do something cool, I want to hear about it and say "wow, that's really cool." But there are people out there who hear about you doing something cool, and have to tell you about how they did it even cooler. WTF?
Like "I posted my paintings on DA to try and sell them." "I've been on DA for five years, and make tons of art and have sold lots, blahblahblah, you're so new at it. You'll get better." WTF!?!?! I was not exactly asking you to insult me.
And then "Yeah, I plan to get Angry and make her Magnolica from an alternate universe only she's evil." And then said person was all like "in this RP I used to do I had this alternate universe...blahblahblah more detailed better than yours." Seriously. Went on for 1/2 an hour! It's one thing to say "Oh cool, I love alternate universes, I have played in several." And another to "out do" me.
This always seems to happen. When I was into anime, I had a friend who was always trying to out do me. Really? And then she got into JRock and Visual Kei and while I listened to the music I could care less about the people in all honesty. But she had to sit around and go on about them just to feel better than me. And then I started getting interested in lolita and she'd insult lolita and stuff. Guess what? She now dresses in lolita. I can't stand it. It makes me angry.
I've always seemed to have friends around me who do this. And I honestly can't stand it. Nor can I figure out why. Do they feel threatened by me? I don't know. I can't figure it out at all!
