don't expect anything out of anyone because most people are just going to disappoint you. and it is absolutely ridiculous how simple some of these tasks are that people for some reason can't DO.
if you don't want to do something, then don't do it. it's understandable. people don't want to do things sometimes. but for the love of God, just step forward and say: 'hey sorry I can't do this right now.' I would rather be disappointed and know what to expect, than be disappointed and left hanging wondering what the hell I'm doing next.
it pisses me off to have people idle off or laze away--look if you want to quit, then quit. don't worry about disappointing or making people angry, because guess what? that shit's inevitable. like I said if someone couldn't do something for me, I'd rather they tell me so I wasn't just waiting here. even if I'm disappointed, I won't be angry. because GUESS WHAT. you're BOUND TO BE DISAPPOINTED IN LIFE, and sometimes there's no one to blame so all you can do is wallow in pity for a little bit and then get over it.
I've got better fucking things to do with my time than waiting for YOU to step forward to tell me what YOU can't do. this is my life, and I don't want to spend it waiting and expecting something from you, when I'm not going to get anything. don't waste my time, because I don't got a lot of it, get it? life is too short to be dwelling on things you haven't gotten any closure from, so wrap it up cheese and crackers.
seriously if you want to say no, then just SAY NO. it doesn't have to be mean, but don't trail off and leave it hanging there.
don't spend life fucking around with your words. don't dance around subjects or people or compliments or anything like that.
more people need to be less afraid of honesty. they need to be less afraid of getting their feelings hurt, or hurting other people's feelings. or idfk, some people need to rein in their emotions and not be an asshole for someone telling them the facts. you're angry? think about it before you do or say anything else you make an ass of yourself.
and being careful with words =/= not being honest. eloquent. be it.
there're just so many instances where people have made me go WTF.
- why am I leaving? uh because no one's talked to me in a month. don't be surprised, please. maybe you shouldn't cram so many people in your life that their arms and legs are busting out the cracks. maybe you shouldn't have dug yourself in a hole with me if you weren't gonna commit, eh?
- yes. you are an asshole because you constantly look down on me, you're constantly telling me what I fail at, or not caring about what I say. yet you seem to want me to place you on a pedestal. also using the word hypocrite and then being one is hypocritical. and ironic. also once again: it makes you look like an ass. btw, karma's a bitch, but only because you were first. oh did you think all those great things about me? maybe you should've actually said it.
- seriously? you could've just said, 'not really into it anymore.' I'd understand perfectly. I'm a big girl, I think I understand when people don't want to do something--and they're not doing it to spite someone.
- don't fucking stare awkwardly in the opposite direction at nothing. just say it. you're already doing it in a way, it's already awkward--you think this is sparing ANYONE'S feelings? take a solid step forward and say the words out loud.
is this rant one giant irony ball? YES. YES IT IS. because unfortunately, people are never going to be this open to honesty. I'll just start with myself then and say I'm open to anyone's honesty. I may not necessarily give it back, because not everyone is going to feel the same way.
tl;dr - be honest. don't be a dick. don't be negative to positive honesty.
