You disgust me...
Let me start this rant by saying that it's not directed at anyone here on LJ.
If she comes across this, she'll know exactly who she is...
Let's begin.
A friend of mine I recently met, has been going on and on about how pathetic her life is. Whining for attention. Making suicide threats that are simply whining for attention. (I can tell.) Giving tons of reasons for why she can't get out of her bad situation and into a happy state of being.
Take the most emo I've ever been, and crank it to 1000.
I tried to console her for awhile when I first met her and saw that she was like this. But sympathy has quickly turned into utter disgust.
It's one thing to be miserable because you CAN'T get out of a situation. But it's another thing entirely when you REFUSE TO TRY.
Basically, it boils down to this...
If you're stuck in a bad situation. Try to change it. Get away from what makes you miserable, distract yourself, make your whole priority around getting yourself better. Tell yourself you can't do anything about it, and you will fail before you start. If you refuse to do anything, then you deserve whatever you get.
Do nothing, and nothing will change. Nothing will improve. You'll be more miserable than you were before.
-------------------------------
I tried to empart on her the wisdom I've learned over the past few years, dealing with every trial that life has thrown at me. And even if it took some hard work, the improvement started not with the resolution of the problem. But with the fact that I was putting fourth my own effort to kill off said problem.
Even if you can't get rid of the problem, at least you can make the best of what you have. My friends have taught me this.
Apologies if this was poorly worded. My ability with words only comes in sparks of brilliance, not constant flames.
Thanks for listening.
