I can't remember how many times I've told you this: You need to pick and choose your battles. You need to figure out if something is worth creating drama over before you do it. Some stuff just needs to be let go. You need to stop thinking that everything's personal, because it really makes you unhappy a LOT of the time. It blew up, people had a right to react the way that they did, and you're upset about the results, I understand that.
I have faith in you, but over this, from what you told me, I simply cannot sympathize, I'm sorry. It's not for lack of love. It shouldn't be expected that when you message me about something going horribly wrong I'm going to agree/rally to everything. When you do that kind of thing, expect me to be honest with you. I know that sometimes I have a tendency to go with it, and it creates a lot of problems, and I feel like that's the reason people sometimes message me when they're angry about things, but I'd really just rather try and help. Feeling that the reasoning is the former sort of miffs me. I don't want to be a soldier, I want to be a friend (though, sometimes if the cause is right, both is fun XD).
I just really, really wish you could learn to think things through a little better, because I don't like it when you're upset and you get upset a LOT. More than any of my other friends, in fact. And if something is bothering you? Even if it's a small thing? Vent, rant, do whatever you need to, but even then there's some tact you need to make sure you take into consideration first. Sure, some ways might make you feel better temporarily, but start thinking of the long term stuff that could happen because of it. People generally don't react well to "grarg".
Chiiiill OOOUT DUUUUUDE. Think, relax, chill. Instead of getting angry, try working at finding ways to help the situation get better. Try them. It's better than being upset. When you're upset I'm sad. DON'T MAKE ME A SAD PANDA.
I STILL LURVE YOU!!!!
