I've seen this happening repeatedly between two people who formed a close relationship of 10+ years, where A treats B like shit but B covers it with denial and tolerates it, so as not to jeopardize their friendship. In this situation I would normally think B is an idiot for putting up with this, and I would try to convince her, "Ditch A, you deserve better than the shit she throws at you".
But having this happen to me was like a slap of reality. I simply can't take my own advice. I met my bestfriend when we were 8 years old. We went to primary and high school together and she lives a 2 minutes walk from my house. Since going to Uni, we havnt seen for a while but over past year I've noticed her apathetic approach to people around her. Our conversations have then fallen from hollow with empty smiles to effortless with no meaning. When she is bored, she would drop by my house, rummage through things. At this point, I will ignore her and she would get irritated with me. And it would be me who would finally need to reconcile the 'problem'. Most of our 'arguments' or rather her tantrums would be similar to this. Like 'B' in my first scenario, I've fallen in the same sort of denial that we're still like kids, and that nothing has really changed. Regrettably, the truth is everything but.
I hate her to some extent for making me feel so responsible for her moods and not putting enough effort in, when mutual respect has disintegrated. I now realize now how difficult it is to end a friendship with so much past and memories attatched to it. Having grown accustomed to her being around, she is almost like a sister to me. I still think denial and persistence seems an easier option that confrontation and if not more pain.
Can anyone share their experiences so I can feel less crap right now?
The best thing to do is just be strong.
See, I myself am a master manipulator. Have been since I was 2 years old actually. It's an art, a skill that only a select few acquire in their lifetime. Survival of the fittest my friend. Myself and other amazing people around the world who have learnt the art of manipulation are the fittest and we are the ones who will survive.
We are the leaders of this society. The rest, they are there to serve us and allow us to improve on society with our amazing skills.
I do not know why but I do not feel remorse when I manipulate others. I must be a passive agressive sociopath with bi-polar, another awesome amazing skill that is worth bragging about
When I was 2 years old I was already at level 3 manipulation (in layman's terms - I was very good for someone my age). Last I checked on the manipumeter (those who are to give birth to children who are able to learn the skill are given a manipumeter which measures manipulation power as they grow older) I was level 24. Not bad for a 19 year old.
I am quite interested in finding out what level Davriel is at? Davriel would you be so kind as to PM me with your level and what brand of manipumeter you used. Also where were you born? Was it the "Hospital for giving birth to children who are better than other children at manipulating people" or "Westmead hospital"?? I do not expect the other posters in this thread to be aware of the former hospital as it is located in a special province which is only accessible to those with this amazing skill. We have to manipulate the guard who patrols the gates in order to get the key. And then manipulate the lock with the key to open it. And then manipulate the villagers to give us head because we possess this unique, amazing skill.
So yes, I am really great and stuff. Once when I was 4.3 I manipulated my mum into buying a dog and a telephone. I then manipulated the dog to lick peanut butter off my balls. Used the telephone to ring up the police department and manipulated them to go on a shooting rampage.
So yeah guys, who wants to touch me.
Davriel you are a shit person and you will fail in life. See the air in front of you? (Of course you can see it, your above us and have awesome special powers like manipulation level 900 and super awesome vision) Yeah, I want you to stop breathing that air in, and any other air you see. Do it until your face turns blue and you die. Kthnxbai :wave:
