Children Masquerading as Adults
There is always that person who can't understand that disagreement and difference of values is a part of life, who can't accept that. They want everyone to agree with them and claim that it's ok to differ in opinion. Say what you really feel, not what you think will please them. What liars and posers! If you have a different view, then they work hard to convince you that you're wrong, and when they can't do that, get you to switch sides, then they have to resort to name calling and mind-reading--putting words in your mouth. If that doesn't work, then they want to try to kick you below the belt instead of being the adults they claim to be.
I have no time for that. People like that will never be educated on the whole picture and will always whine about how they are the victim and no one understands them. Everyone is down on them because they are different, because of who they are. They will always get pissed and crumble, show their true nature, when they are faced with someone who will defend their beliefs to the very end. You stick by what you believe, so why is it wrong when I do the same? I hate Republican ideals, but one of my best friends is a conservative Republican. We both stick by and defend our beliefs until death, regardless of what anyone thinks. I don't have to believe what she does, and she doesn't have to turn to my side either. I'm not changing what I believe so someone else can feel better about theirs. I'm not going to let anyone twist my words so they can engage in a make-believe war with me.
Someone who is no longer on my friends list resorted to that same type of childish game-playing because she didn't want to hear what I believe. She has self-esteem and insecurity issues that deal with her own conflicted value system and her own need for validation from others. That dynamic is not going to be played out with me. It's childish and disrespectful to name call, curse, and tell someone that they are not worthy of friendship because they do not share the same values. I will not tolerate hostility from someone who resorts to such tactics. Let me turn it around on you: maybe you are alone because of who you are. You would like to see me as alone based on one entry I made, but you know nothing about me, and you claim that I think I know so much about you. I was trying to get to know you and to let you know me, but you don't deserve that.
How about you do what you do best? Go sit on it and twirl.
