Some people need a high five, in the face. With a chair.
Others, well they just need a clue.
Some people would disagree with me and the method I occasionally use. However I feel that it’s better to know, in spite of how hurtful it may be as opposed to not knowing at all. Which is why I generally don’t play the same game that boys generally do. Which is to ignore the person or problem in the hopes that it will go away. Clearly men who do that, have no balls. They think that they’re sparing our feelings but in reality it’s just plain insulting and makes us want to plot revenge against your sorry ass.
It takes character and a spine to tell someone how you really feel. Even if those feelings aren’t exactly nice. Bottom line is, not everyone is aware of their actions. They might acknowledge it in their own mind, however it puts a whole new spin on things when someone else has the guts and the integrity to tell you just how they feel. There ARE ways to do it without being catty, vengeful or mean. In my opinion, even if you were; I would at the very least respect you for being true to yourself and having the guts to be straight with me.
Which brings me to this:
Eons ago I started talking to a guy for a brief period of time. Nothing ever came of it, in fact we never did meet. Recently I got an e-mail from said person wondering what I’d been up to and to be perfectly honest, I didn’t even remember who he was. I admitted as much because i’m honest like that and he was considerate enough to remind me. The issue? He did it ALL wrong. So that being said, I thought that I could perhaps just let it go and move on -OR- I could steer him in a better direction. Maybe. In any case, I admire the fact that he had the balls to be that honest with a total stranger. That takes a lot of guts and I admire that. Although on the other side of the coin, it’s not what you say; sometimes it’s how you say it…
Behold:
I live in NDG and I think you do as well. Indeed.
If it isn’t obvious already, what I was THINKING is in italics. However this is my actual reply:
Sorry about the delayed reply, my phone didn’t notify me that there was a new e-mail in this account. I rarely check it, as I mentioned previously. That being said:
You’re correct.
