My god, It's official. I hate fucking MSN. When you are communicating via typing it's to easy for someone to take something the wrong way, on both sides of the convo. So many problems with MSN. It's to impersonal, also, ever start getting a long reply typed up and then the person you are talking to logs off? Man that's frustrating. At least now there is this offline message thing so that they will "hopefully" get it the next time they log in. I don't even know if that shit actually works because every time I send one of these fancy offline messages It's usually because I'm trying to get ahold of someone and they never end up replying.
So apparently I want to solve everyones problems by listening to them. I don't recall ever saying anything like that. There are a few reasons why I'll ask what is wrong with somone. The first reason is that, well. Somethings is obviously bothering you. Why would I ask? Because I want to know, because that's what friends fucking do. When something is bothering a friend, you ask what it is. Why, not nessessarily because you want to solve that problem for them, although yes, you usually do. What kind of friend want's to see another friend suffer from a problem? Not a very good one, obviously. You know, it's not even always about trying to solve other peoples problems by listening to them. It can help avoid some very damaging situations. Say your mother died. Something is obviously bothering you, friends asks what is wrong and you say "nothing, I'm fine." Then while hanging out later they make a crack about your mom or something that any other day would of been hilarious.
That's one of the major reasons why people ask what's wrong. So they can avoid saying or doing something that can cause temsions and what not. Let's step that last example up a notch. Say you or someone close to you got raped. One of your friends cracks a joke about rape, something that just the other week you would of lauged at. This is one of the reasons we ask, to avoid situations like this. So we know what NOT to say, what subjects to avoid so we don't anger/upset you.
Another reason why someone might ask "what's wrong" is because even though talking about it won't nessessarily solve the problem, it allows some insight into the person and even if it doesn't solve the problem, talking about problems the majority of the time will relieve some stress off of whoever is suffering.
It all comes down to being a friend. That's what friends do.
SO yeah, pissed someone off again. Only happens every second conversation over MSN with them. I think I'm just going to stop talking to them over MSN. I know I don't need the stress and they probably don't either. Yeah, I really don't need the stress. Some serious shit is on my case right now and that's absolutly all I can say. I just figured you should know.
Whatever, I've had enough of MSN. You want to ask a quick question or something, fine. If you actually want to talk to me about something, call me. Otherwise don't fucking bother.
I fucking hate women sometimes.... No, for a different reason. For when they say things along the line of. "Aww, I want that puppy" and you think something along the lines of: "It's only 200$" or "well, if it'll make them happy" knowing full well that you are only going to spend like 20$ on your family. No, I haven't actually bought them a puppy. Yes... I am thinking about it... :(
