This one, I kind of always knew about myself, but I fought against it for years because I wanted to do what society expected of me. About 8 years ago, I realized I had played the Etiquette Game FAR LONGER than I had wanted to, and I had wasted a lot of my life's time on people who were, to put it bluntly, just not worth my time.
Since then, I gradually got better at carefully choosing who I spend my time with. I'm an EXTREMELY selective friend, so if you're still hanging out with me now, guess what - you rule.
I simply cannot justify wasting anymore of my precious time in this life with people that I don't REALLY enjoy being around. Because, that's what life's all about, isn't it?
I realize everyone has flaws, and usually those flaws are what make us all so interesting. USUALLY. Like, I think one of my interesting flaws is that I can be kind of a bitch. However. It's only interesting because I'm AWARE OF IT, and I moderate it. I am also really good at apologizing when I've gone too far.
But see, those people who have gigantic flaws and they just have NO self-awareness - meh. Those people? I got no time for them, yo. No time at all.
