So, recently, I've been under a bit of pressure; not like peer-pressure from co-workers or anything, but mostly from being around certain types of situations. Like seeing one person give affection to someone else, whom I may have had feeling for in the past, and might possibly still have it, and have them react as if they liked it. If I do the same thing, I'm refused, in a rather cold manner. Even talking to them is somewhat of a chore, while others have no problem. I don't even have a history with them yet they seem as if they know me. Whenever I complain about it to someone else, all they can do is say that they feel sorry for me, or try and empathize. Most of the people, I know, are doing it because they feel obligated, or forced to do so. Even the one I who shows cold emotion towards me does something because I seem desperate.
It's making me sick, the thought of it. People are even offering to help me in my little dilemma. I want to hit each and every one of those people who say they can help. Whether it be by explaining the situation to
Double-standards!
ReplyDeleteNobody likes a double-standard.
I particularly dislike them amongst the feminist community where there's an outcry for equality but a wide-spread refusal to lobby for mandatory service ballots upon turning eighteen for women.
I'm...Probably the sort to say, "What can I help you with?" so it's probably ah...
...Don't know what to say in regard to that.
If you're looking for an ear, make sure you let people know you're looking for an ear.
If you're looking for help, -don't- go to people who are passing out ears. They think their helping by listening.
...And truth be told? Sometimes listening's all you can do.
