Tired
Ya know I’ve been hearing a lot throughout this school year about people talking about me, things they don’t like about me, how I spend too much time with a certain girl blah blah blah. Its what i want to do and who i am. I’m tired of hearing about it, honestly. If you don’t like me or the things I do, please just leave me alone. I’m not mad at you. Just leave me alone. Save your breath and complaints. It’s just surprising how quick people who were either cool with me or my closest to me have been to judge. Maybe I was just naive to trust people. Idk.
One of the more recent things I’ve heard somebody say is that they don’t have much in common with me because i don’t have any problems. Damn, way to simplify my life into a few statements since it’s just that easy and all. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this. People think just cuz I don’t have any of the obvious problems that my life is perfect, therefore I can’t relate or understand anybody else’s problems. Yes, my parents are well off and are always there for me, they dont fight, I’m athletic, smart, seem to get an okay amount of play with girls. But just cuz i dont have obstacles in these more obvious areas where people have troubles, does not mean I don’t have problems.
If you care to know, I have never had a friend who hasn’t questioned my ability to relate. Never. What sucks is that it’s always my closest friends who I find this out about. Sure does make me feel alone. From middle school, where everybody called me stupid names to my best friends recently calling me cocky or know it all ish, I almost wonder if I’ve ever had a true friend. So if you think I’m completely problem free then there’s one big one for you. I can count the amount of friends who don’t judge me on one hand.
I just hope that one day I’ll meet somebody who doesn’t make conclusions about me based off of the things I have but cares for me because of the person I am and that those who don’t like me leave me alone rather than befriending me and complaining. Gives me credit for what I do for them. That’s a true friend. Why should i have to have problems for people to like me? I’m a compassionate and down to earth guy, I can understand people’s problems without having experienced them myself. Its not my fault my life has been free of too many hardships. You can have a crap load of experiences in common with somebody but that’s not what makes someone your friend, it’s the character traits that you share and your ability to get along
I know this whole thing sounds cheesy but I’m actually dead ass serious about it. I’m just very tired. Sorry for taking up dashboards but this’ll probably be my last post for another year so you can deal. If this sounds a little self centered im sorry, this is just what i think about some of the things i have heard. God, I’m ready for college, I need a fresh start.
