I’m tired of people pretending like they care
While some people pretend, some people really do. So my advice is, whenever you meet people who pretend to care think about the people who really do.
I've met lots of people who're all smiles in front of me and completely different when I'm not there. I mostly ignore them and seek the company of friends whom I really trust.
I swear to god, if I get one more person get flirty with me, I'm going to scream.
I try my best to be polite and friendly - the way I've always been taught to act, but so many people think that's an opportunity for some reason.
I'm sick and tired of this ****.
I don't want to be in a relationship with anyone.
It's ruining multiple friendships, so I'm starting to think that maybe I'm the problem somehow? Am I being selfish by not reciprocating those feelings?
That's indeed a very bad thing.
And about deteriorating friendships, I've faced those situations sometimes. There are two kinds of people when it comes to friendship.
One, friend centered people like me who don't come into conflicts with friends often and even if they do, they find a way to mend the bond. These kind of people have really close friends even if the number is very less.
Two, the people who pay more attention towards themselves and don't bother much when their relationship is broken. These people are emotionally more stable than friend centered people and take individual decisions.
Now, it is up to you to decide which one you are. It doesn't matter which type you are you have to introspect people before becoming their friend.
While some may seem nice at the beginning, they might have ulterior motives. While other seem unapproachable at the beginning, but surprisingly might become your best friend.
