Ok, so lately I have been having these thoughts of why do people say that they don't understand why they act nice to people that don't really like. You know it is actually ok to not pretend that you like them. You don't have to always say hello with a fake painful smile. I mean, you don't have to be rude, but at the same time there isn't any reason that you need to fake it. I have learned that all you get from faking is not knowing where the line of reality is and things get blurred. Truthfully I have only been offended by people that I thought actually liked me or at least I thought were honestly goodhearted, but in the end it turns out they were only faking and for what, to be liked by family members, treated like one in our family and receive things from them only to turn and drop them the moment they felt it didn't benefit them anymore. See, that is where I get bothered by things, because I always thought it was better to be honest than to put up any fronts. That way people know how to handle things that you do. I have never been nice to someone I didn't think was a decent person, because it is ok to look for the good in them. But at the same time, it is ok to cut ties with someone that you think honestly is not the best person for you to be associated with. No fronts, No faking, just be who you want to be to the people you want to be that way.
