Why are friendships so difficult? As Dr. Nacoste would say, it's because it's two people, and he's right. I've decided that no matter who you are and how much like someone you may be, you're always going to be so much different than you may anticipate. As much as I admit that I NEED friends, sometimes I think it would be easier without. I just don't understand the way other people think at all, which could mean I'm in the right major or I'm completely off. I try so hard to help people, but I just end up screwing things up. I'm not saying I'm training for my career or anything, I just enjoy listening and helping people out. I just don't have enough self-awareness. I can listen and do whatever I can, but then I turn around and act like a complete dick or just really screw it up. I just don't understand why people are so selectively secretive though. This is not about anyone in particular, it seems to be a trend. If you're going to be honest, be honest or don't say anything. I'm sure I'm guilty of it too, but it's just so frustrating and it causes more problems. I also don't like people hiding their feelings. If you like someone, don't tell everyone but them. They need to know this. Also, if you're upset about something or something is bothering you, let the person causing it know. If you don't, nothing will ever change and they won't know the difference, and in the end you'll just have to suffer through it more. Once again, I love my friends, but "relationships are hard." Thanks again Dr. Nacoste. Why is it that these things always seem to happen when I have exams?
