(no subject)
This is going to be a public entry..I haven't done one since September. Hopefully, it will do the trick.
I came to the conclusion a while ago that I never wanted to publicly use my journal to criticize others within my circle of friends, especially the ones who read my journal. Words hurt people...they can leave a negative impression no matter how petty or approprate they might be.
I do not want to directly frustrate, anger, or sadden anyone through my livejournal. If I have a problem with someone who evidently reads my entries, I try to go and talk to them. If I want to vent about someone that reads my livejournal, I use the private entry item in order to release my frustration and not make the situation worse by having that person read it and get upset. It's human nature to react when you discover someone is writing bad things about you in a journal (that you can read), when they could have come to you and sorted things out in person. It gets old and frustrating to avoid conflict in this way. And it makes people like myself give up on these particular types of people..because nothing you ever do seems to make them happy.
The end.
