Summer = Fun
That’s all there is to say about it.
Other than that, I’ve just realized that I shouldn’t stress over people’s uhh… psychological problems (to put it lightly). Even though it affects the relationships around them and my comfort level, there isn’t much I can do. Through experience (most recently) it seems that even if you told a friend in the nicest way something that they’re doing wrong, 90% of the time will result in a bad reaction. I don’t mean “oh you’re doing that wrong”, but “You’re life/ attitude/ perception/ reliability/ thoughts are completely wrong/ misguided/ hindering/ unncessary/ selfish and so on.” Firstly you might think, well how can you be the judge of that? Well I can because what I can’t misinterpret what I see. I’m not overexaggerating or anything. I could just easily list and identify these people and problems, and I’m sure if you knew them you would agree. And most likely if they ever read this, they would go fucking berzerk. Most of the time, these mental blockages are mostly superficial and not really that bad. We all have them. But have you ever met someone with such extreme… problems that it would just seem right to tell them about it? I mean, telling them would help them right?
NO.
You should not. For the greater good (your friendship) unveiling this will do little. People aren’t generally perceptive enough to understand that you’re trying to help them. They come to you with a plethora of excuses and reasons for their behaviour, and you know it’s all bullshit. In my life I’ve always had my brother to cut me down when I was doing something stupid. Very harsh and life scarring, but it worked. I still do stupid shit but, like me and many of my friends, when it comes down to serious situations that require delicate attention, we can pull through easily without breaking a mental sweat.
Before I get to stressed about this, just remember it’s easier to let it go. People rarely change, and when they do, it will be on their own merit. I’ve tried too hard and too long trying to.. ease people into the enlightenment of REAL human thought. Most have been for naught, and it has such a waste of time. I’m just going to have to endure/ignore/accept these people till they really learn what it means to be mentally healthy. As I said before, strengthening yourself mentally is just as important and strenghtening yourself physically. Hell it’s even more so important to strengthen yourself mentally in this world we live in right now. (North American lower/middle/upper class people).
And remember folks, alcohol is the great revealer. It cuts down their facades, and raises truths. Most people will agree with me that when someone gets drunk, when they’re a few drinks from getting smashed and passing out, some truths will be revealed. This and getting them tired. I’m someone who stays up extremely late at night. When I interact with some people at nighttime, their personality is sometimes completely different. There are those who are just tired and grumpy which is normal, but there are those who let their guards down and show me their real thoughts. Some of them get more friendly and outgoing because they aren’t as insecure since they aren’t at full defensive capacity (just like when they are drunk). Some of them get more aggressive, angry, and have a superiority complex and complain all the time (just like when they are drunk).
