Because everyone loves FOs
I really, really hate pretentious people. It's simply because I don't see the point of creating a new identity for yourself in a context of very accommodating and understanding people. That's why the only seemingly-rational excuse of pretentious people that "I am just so scared to be ostracized by the world" is already out of that very context, which means that there's already no valid reason to pretend.
But what I hate even more is people who refuse to listen. Everyone is allowed to talk, yes; but there is a strong presumption of a listener. That's why if someone requests, and even begs for your precious time to talk, it is quite logical to assume that that person would listen. And I don't know in which universe you reside, but that is the convention here on Earth.
Even though "gamitan ang friendship" (Jiao, 2008) is a line that does not sound so appealing to anyone, if you get to think about it, it can be true. You use your friends in many ways, from simple pay-you-laters and even up to the point of sharing with him a part of your true self. That means that there are many ways of defining friendship, and there are many thresholds and reasonable expectations (Atienza, 2008) that should be met in order to justify any circumstance that happens within the bounds of that "friendship".
That's why it is just silly to assume that one can impose unto anyone anything that he wants. Personal preferences are valid and should be enshrined as correct perceptions, but these just have to change once these are expressed in the public sphere.
You cannot stop people inasmuch as people cannot stop you as well. It's just a matter of balance that can be achieved with a rational mindset of "any regular person" (Bernardo, 2008). If you can badger people with complaints and unstoppably blabber stuff to protect your so-much-threatened face, it is just fair to think that you have at least the very basic and minimal definition of weighing things. It's simpler than all your prepared rebuttals and defences.
Being self-righteous never helps. Everyone gets a fair share of crap, and everyone knows how those crap operate. One cannot simply take the role of the vulnerable if in the very first place he isn't. It's just so unreal, and so unfair to deny that you have that crap within you. And if we hate people for a few bad things, let's just make sure that we don't get those bad things as well. Cos it might just end up that we're in a truce.
It's just so insecure, silly, and immature to assume that people use you. Cos that should come from them, and not impose and claim that image for yourself. It always feels better to know that people want to use you, but one should understand that it does not happen all the time. In fact, people choose whom to use.
Claiming that a person's life is an insult to dignity, or even actually threatening a person with hitmen, is just the paramount epitome of insecurity and patheticness.
Thanks for the friendship? It used to be nice.
I can officially declare a friendship over. And I'm standing by that statement. I just hope, at least for once, you get to stand for your own statements. We've had enough of your never-coming-true statements.
