i used to pride myself on my patience, in waiting for people or being a listening ear to someone, but somehow or rather, i just can't seem to have any patience in dealing with stupidity.
but nevermind. i don't even know where to start, so i shan't bother beginning, else i can't stop. stupidity knows no boundaries, i swear.
omg la, i'm sleepy like fuck. i should have slept, even if i were to turn up late for work.. for the numerous times.
AHHH. /wrist
what was i going to talk about.. hm. yeah, that.
sometimes it really turns me off when people try too hard. be it trying too hard to prove a point, or to try too hard to show concern for someone else. because too much is just simply too much. and the word 'too' is often put to use to show something negative, even if it's used in conjunction with something positive. too nice, too rich, too confident, etc. there's nothing wrong with being nice, being rich and being confident. anyone would want to be that, but when you go overboard, that's when people start to resent you for it. putting intentions aside, whether your intentions are pure or not, even the firmest of friendships would be strained by your actions.
showing too much concern for someone you have barely known and have not even met before, makes people question your intentions. it could be just pure concern, but that doesn't matter. perceptions are everything in society. you are, not who you really are, but who others see you are. you can be an anti-social person deep inside, but you know the basic courtesy, of greeting everyone you see with a smile, people around you will perceive you as a friendly person. who gives a damn about who you really are, other than people who really bothers, or are able to read beyond the facade. basically, it's simply 'what you see is what you get'. if you meet someone for the first time, what's the first impression of him is simply the impression that he chooses to give you. be it, that he might not be acting, or pretending, but how similar can your first impression of him be, to his real self? hardly.
let me digress. i also noticed that sometimes time doesn't really help people in understanding others. more or less, people will keep up a facade in order to protect themselves. pretending that they're okay, and cheerful when they're hurting deep inside. pretending to be crappy and happy-go-lucky when they are actually more matured than they seem to be. but maybe the people around them just don't seem to put in the effort to get to know the friends who have been by their side for so long more.
keke. forget it. i will just end it here. wait till i'm less sleepy then i'll rant again.
till then. hee.
