I really hate the way people are always trying to make you feel small. I really, REALLY hate it. Even if it's, like, inadvertently condescending, it's such a retarded thing to do. I guess I just don't understand why people get a kick out of making their friends feel like crap. I hate being patronized. It's like, if you have a problem with me or with something I'm doing, then just effing tell me. Don't beat around the bush or pretty it up so it seems less retarded. If I'm messing up, then by ALL means, let me know, but don't be a freaking jerk about it. God had already made quite sure that I'm blessed with a mother who loves and looks out for me, so I definitely don't need another one. I really love the idea that my friends will hold me accountable for when I mess up. I welcome constructive criticism at every opportunity, but when those critiques turn into lectures and "pep-talks", then you've gone too far. There's a huge difference between constructive discussion and destructive criticism. It sucks. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not really a huge fan of feeling like crap. Ugh. I just wish that people could stop judging eachother. I know my limits, by the way. I have them, and I know what they are. I don't need to physically list out 250,000 things that I absolutely will not do with another person. I'm really just fine with the limits that I've set for myself, thank you. And George is fine with his, too. We aren't too physically involved, and we aren't going to be getting too physically involved. In short, hypocrisy should die.
