Tis the season to talk bullshit, fa la la la la, la la la la...
So it seems, anyway. These days, whenever I talk to so-called "friends," I find that they refuse to be straight up with me. I don't beat around the bush when I'm talking to people I consider a friend, and I expect the same in return. If I'm acting in a way my friends don't appreciate, I expect them to tell me straight out. If I say something they don't like, I want them to tell me straight out. If they are my friends, I KNOW they aren't saying these things to try to hurt me or something, but looking out for me AS my good friends. And because they are my friends, I'll take whatever they have to say into consideration for the fact that they are being honest with me and not beating around the bush.
However, with a select few, I've been getting nothing but excuses for petty issues. WTF? I mean, it's not like we're talking about something extremely important, so what's with the bullshit? If you feel one way, just friggin say it. Be blunt. Save no room for excuses. When people I call friends give me excuses, it makes me feel like they aren't really my friends. I feel that a real friend will be comfortable enough with me to be completely honest about anything and everything. I don't want people around me that'll tell me s**t just because they think they're saying what I want to hear.
Hypothetical example:
Me: Hey, want to come over and get your a** kicked in some Mario Kart?
REAL friend: "Nah."
Me: "Why?"
REAL Friend: "Because your room is rarely clean and you talk too much s**t when you win."
Example of what I DON'T want. Same situation, different response:
Me: Hey, want to come over and get your a** kicked in some Mario Kart?
"Friend": "Nah."
Me: "Why?"
"Friend": I... um, I'm tired of video games. (A lie, naturally.)
Basically the first example has the friend being completely honest. No cheap excuses, while the 2nd example has the friend not saying what's really on his/her mind.
For those that read my journal, I'm not making this because of a single person. There is a few people I'm having this issue with. But the most recent person is the one that kinda sparked the motivation for this entry.
For everyone else who might not have known a little about the Stryker, if you want to be my friend, I expect you to be just as straight up and honest with me as I am with you. If you can't do that, you're not someone I really want to get to know.
