I’m to the point where I want to be ridiculously blunt to everyone I know. I have never lived surrounded by this much petty drama in my life. I am hardly able to handle it. There are times that I am in disbelief of what is going on. Can I just run up to them, scream, and shake their shoulders until it gets through?
No, I cannot. You know what happens instead? Someone does something stupid (i.e. cheats on boyfriend, runs back to stupid and abusive boyfriend, refuses to talk to roommate, guilt trips people into doing things, etc.) and then other people talk behind their backs. Then the person finds out people are talking about them. Next is the cry session which lasts any given length of time. Next is the bitter stage which never really ends. For a split second comes the moment when I think they got it and are going to move on, no longer needing a shoulder to cry on. Lastly, that same someone does something stupid. Nine times out of ten it’s the same stupid thing they did in the first place.
Is it bad that I no longer want to listen to the whining and the crying? Honestly, some of these things are brought on completely by themselves. How long am I to continue to have sympathy? When does it get to the point where I am allowed to say “you’re being stupid, straight up.”
Chill out. Grow up. Move on.
