it seems these days i'm near impossible to satisfy
the rare exception being you
and it leads me to wonder
is it the people and places who and that are not up to par
or am i growing increasingly picky the more i am spoiled with your company?
i have gone from wanting to give everyone a chance
to just passing judgment
and i wonder, when did this all change?
what is it precisly the upped my standards?
there was a time where i would hang out with near anyone, reguardless of what i thought of their intelligence, hygene, and reputation, and now i'm finding it harder and harder to tolerate anyone who i don't get the right vibe from (and there are precious few). i suppose i just feel like being too trusting has screwed me over, it makes me really consider who i associate myself with, and in a sense leave myself vulnerable to. i never thought there would come a time when i would need to be cautious about who i befriended, let alone picky about it.
you know that saying that goes something like "the things we hate about others are the things we hate most in ourselves"
i think it may have a portion to do with that. i used to be a completly different person, and this past year i have changed a great amount. now i look back at who i used to be and it just makes me ache, maybe in comparison to other people i wasn't a bad person, and i didn't make that big of idiotic mistakes. it's a big deal to me though, and i've begun to notice how much i resent all those qualities i used to have when i see them manifested in other people. it seems like having been there at one point it would make me tolerant, but it drives me up a wall. it's gotten to the point now that i hang out with about 2 people. just two, because so many people just get on my nerves.
i dunno what i'm getting at
my head hurts.
