Howdy! Due to more work-related idiocy, I am able to write here on both Saturdays and Sundays now. Not that I will, but I might. See? I'm writing here now aren't I?
Today's topic of discussion: trust.
Scenario: You meet someone. You like them. At least, you think you might. For awhile, you try to be around them, learn more about them...test the waters, yes? As it turns out, you DO like them. A lot, for whatever reason. They are hot, or funny, or interesting, or they think like you do. But you really like them. And it seems like they like you.
After more time passes, you continue the liking. In fact, you like them more the more you know. But, blast, perhaps they do not like you as much as you like them. Or perhaps they do. Is there a way to find out what a person really thinks? You ask: is anything wrong? They answer: Of course not, silly, I've just been busy... a.) folding my clothes b.) spending my time with other people who are more fun than you are c.) learning to fold origami gazelles d.) fucking this really hot person, or e.) making you wonder what I really think. Nothing is wrong! Let's get together very soon!
So you make plans to get together. And that person breaks the plans or never calls. That seems to be no big deal them. It IS a big deal to you. Or worse, you do get together, things are great and wonderful. But after that, the cycle repeats.
Do you trust them that nothing is wrong? Do you assume the friendship means far more to you than to them? Do you mark them off and move along?
Question: why can't people be honest with emotions? What's the big fuck? Holding back, hiding, playing with people - that's pussy shit. The real strength comes from always facing the truth and from always delivering the truth.
My thoughts:
if the person is hot enough, or if the person might reasonably fuck you with a little more work you will continue to put up with their shit.
if you are not physically attracted to the person, no matter what gender they are, you will not continue to put up with their shit.
Any thoughts?
