Shorty ain't worth it

People who like me, LOVE ME. I don't know what it is, they just do. It may be because I would actually do anything for my friends. Though some don't deserve it, because they're not really my friends. But sooner or later, the truth comes out, and they either stay my friends or move on to something less stressful, like having no friends at all. You see, people who don't like me, they just SUCK!

All joking aside though, I have this theory that life is best enjoyed if you start out assuming everyone is nice and friendship-worthy. Granted, that's not true. Not at all. But I think things are better if you don't start off with the attitude that people are not worthy of your friendship until they prove you wrong. The problem with that is that people may not like it when people are putting them through tests and are not being friendly. Of course the way I do things is conducive to resulting in me being highly disappointed when people's true colors comes out. It's not always a matter of someone being a bad person, just maybe someone that is not compatible with me and my personality. I am however more inclined to determine that the person is a low life when they have problems with everyone around them.

Recently, a person I know had a complete explosion and her true colors came out. Mind you, her true colors were never hidden, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt, because that's how I roll. We also had many friends in common, so I wanted to be a grown up about it and be civil to make sure that others don't feel uncomfortable around us. I do have to stress out the "HAD" because after her complete freak out, I think there's only person that would qualify as a common friend. That got me thinking, is everyone worth being given the benefit of the doubt? The answer right now comes easily to me: NO.

Some battles are just not worth fighting. Some people are just not worth befriending. They have somehow gotten so low that they can't drag themselves out long enough to say one nice thing to anyone around them. And when/if you try to reach to them, all they're going to do is try to pull you down. They can't even comprehend the concept of keeping their mouth shut when they have nothing good to say. Yes, I expect my friends to slap some sense into me if I am consistently doing the wrong thing. But you cannot give unsolicited advice on everything, whether you know about it or not. And there is a way to convey your advice so it does not sound rude. But then again, why would I expect better from a person who farts and belches in public, and when asked nicely not to do that because "I live around here" her response would be "but you don't know these people, so who cares?" Well excuse me, if unlike you, I was not raised in a sty.

Well, don't let the door hit you on the way out! That's the nice thing about giving people the chance to hold on to the friendship you entrust with them, once they throw it back at you, there are no regrets about letting them go as far away as life can take them. That's how I am, I will do anything for a friend, but once they betray me, that is it. In this case though, this person didn't even deserve the many chances she was given. Live and learn and don't make friends with bitter people!
