I do not consider myself better then anyone else. I do not consider myself smarter, either. I suppose that I consider myself to be different when you really get down to it. Whether I am or not is a completely different issue.
My biggest pet peeve, aside from people who use the phrase pet peeve, is when people cover up their emotions with a different emotion. When you are hurt show that you are hurt. Don’t show your hurt by forcing your anger on others.
I wish more people were honest and open. I wish more people knew how to express themselves. I’ll admit that I do get flustered on occasion and shut down, but by and large I have always been a straight forward with my emotions as I possibly could. Even when the situation deemed it inappropriate, I have always let the truth ring free. Perhaps it is because I’m a shoddy liar. Perhaps it is because I wear my heart on my sleeve. I have no poker face to speak of.
I believe life would be far less complicated if more people were like me in that regard. For instance, if someone you were interested in were to reject you, you could show your hurt and move on. You would not need to mask your pain with anger and rude comments. You would not cause the one that you feel hurt you pain. Upon seeing their pain you would not have to mask your guilt with arrogance. And then the girl you were hurting would not have to run to her livejournal and justify your actions so she can stop worrying over it and get on with her life.
