Day 26 (Counting a handful of days that I missed)
I can't recall if I've touched on this before but I've been getting really annoyed with people not expressing themselves properly. A handful of my friends will ask me a question thats not really a question, so I ask them to clarify, and they respond believing they are adding clarification but actually are making the question even more vague...you get the idea. DAMN PEOPLE, SPEAK! If you ask me a question, know what the hell you actually want to know. I get it too - not all questions are real questions for the sake of having a conversation, but I am not talking about those. I am also seeing holes in people's logic. My communications major friend was arguing with me about social dynamics regarding a situation where she should have blocked a guy. I called her out on her crap and she got all pissy.
It went something like this.
A guy keeps harassing her... ranting senselessly about his boy drama in the most literal sense of the word harassment you can imagine, forcing his emotions and crap onto her, having a one sided conversation. He does this often. She called him out and has called him out a handful of times before, telling him to stop. I told her that by not blocking him, after telling him to stop a number of times, shes inviting him to do the same thing again because having him added on snapchat is a door to communicate with her which he can and will step through again. She got mad saying that I shouldn't be saying its her fault. But really, if you break it down, it is her fault because by her not acting, she is leaving the door open for the same thing to happen again. In effect, by choosing not to prevent a foreseeable action that she wants to stop, she is to blame. She also didn't like when I called her out for changing the subject. She responded to me as if I were talking about something else entirely and proceeded to one way conversation me into a hole, to which I was not going to accept, so I called her out saying I don't want to have a conversation if I don't have any input at all. Go do that with a wall. Hey that rhymed.
I digress.
I assume this (my current situation) is the stage before the forgiveness of other peoples stupidity starts to emerge as a trend. Right now I just dont have any tolerance. This is, of course, recognizing that I have my own faults, but I am outwardly expressing my aggression toward other people stupidity.
