You Think So Huh? I have to say this.
I do not accept bullsit. Ever!
And I have noticed recently that some 'friends' of ours have stopped talking, stopped logging into messengers and all around ignoring us.
Particularly when we were in need of a friend.
THEN I hear that they believe more of themselves than they really should.
IN Some cases I have noticed that they talk highly of themselves. "I am a really good friend. I am highly confident in this."
In others they expect their 'input' to be more highly regarded than any others."
If you are such a good friend... you would not ignore people and then lie to them about it. I was told by one person that he would not talk to me until I sorted things out with another friend of his.
I also believe that 'good friends' do not go around bragging about such things. I have issues answering those questions on a job applications. I HATE stating something about myself that should really come from an outside source. I do not know what people think of me and I do not presume to know. If you are a good friend people should be telling you... not the other way around.
If someone is saying "I am a really good friend. Better than most." Then they are A. Fishing for compliments and when they dont receive them... give them to themselves instead and expect everyone to concur. and B. They are spending too much time thinking of themselves and obviously not enough time thinking about others.
If you wish to fool yourselves. Fine... I have no problems with that.
But lie to me and you have crossed the wrong person.
(Addendum: As always I am doubting my point of view so I went to a friend who helped me out with the Amanda situation. Here is her opinion Real Friend pages: the more bragging that a person does, usually the less worth it they are Real Friend has an acquaintance that's ALWAYS telling me what kind of person they are, how this or that is great, as if they were trying to convince themselves) Tags: real friends Current Location: Where Do You Think Current Mood: Disgusted Current Music: Mythbusters
