It's been painfully clear to me, but I sat on my hands. Other friends would say, 'why do you put up with that shit?' This isn't just one person. Infact, it's a lot of people. Shit, it's also a group of friends, overall. Ironic or foreboding that most of them are into cosplay? lolololol
-Invitations to hang out, only nobody answers when I confirm the time to come down.
-Invitations to cosplay, only nobody answers their phone when I call about it and need information.
-I offer to make some contacts I know to get someone desperate for a job a link up in stuff they claim they want to do. When I call several times, no answer. No call back EVER.
-An offer well out of the way for a birthday party, yet none ever comes.
-Countless unanswered calls over an entire year, countless replies never made.
-Livejournal never read, never responded.
-I drive anywhere from an hour to 3 hours to see people I care about. Said people cannot even answer their phone or call me back? Now that's friendship!
-An individual who stalks single girls, and even into them having boyfriends, makes me incredibly uncomfortable (I am also not the only one), yet I am being a selfish person for not wanting to hang out with said person? If I say on my LJ I do not want to hang out with this person, that is me not wanting to hang out with them.
-Acting like I'm not even there!
What this all comes down to is people I am on more than acquaintance terms with, or just people I hardly know, being cold to me, looking down their noses at me, and acting like I am a terrible person for wanting my friends to even act like they are my friends. Doing what you say you will, like calling me back once in a while, not even every single time? That's not hard and doesn't cut into your personal time. Not ditching me at a convention 700 miles from home because you want to hang out with someone better? And then when I am having a horrible time, yelling at me when I'm crying and tired and ditching me more? I should not be in the middle of the Marriott Marquis in Downtown Atlanta getting a hug from my friend's ex boyfriend, whom I hardly knew at the time, because he is the only person I knew there who would give me the time of day when I was standing there crying?
aside from Bob who would have given me 1000 hugs but he was in the dealers room with no reception! If you make comments about me "spiraling out of control" and yet hardly read my LJ, or assume you know me because of some sad posts I might make on my personal journal to vent, you're a fucking idiot. If anything my life has become incredibly better lately! I have silly yet better job now with tons more hours, of which I do quite well at and am gaining tons of experience managing people. The store manager praises me for my ability to deal with the associates and customers with friendliness, politeness and kindness. Joann's didn't want me to leave, but they couldn't pay what I wanted. I've been on fantastic dates lately I haven't even posted on here about. I don't even post everything on LJ because I either don't know how to word or plain don't feel like it. I have a small group of friends I talk to and hang out with if I can, and they are quite wonderful people. We share our lives, as friends do. They don't always answer their phones, but they either get back to me when they can, or answer if I call back another time. Sage advice from fantastic people who aren't concerned only with their own well being. Imagine that. :) I haven't even posted my epic art wins in various degrees, like the crazy awesome film guy that was interested in me doing storyboarding for him. Comics, and various other shiz IRL. It's actually pretty funny how people think they know me without ever taking the time to talk to me except a scant few times a year. If this applies to you, you can take your own advice and look at your own actions and how they effect others.
PS:
laryna6 is the closest thing I could ever have to an arch nemesis, and that is laughable at best. She just fangirls too much.
yuushi couldn't even hope to be anything like an arch nemesis to me. All he does is annoy and creep me the fuck out with his inability to take the word "no" from a girl, and "please do not touch me."
PPS: See the icon. I seriously don't care. People who don't act like my friends are clearly not my friends. That's all there is to it!
