Aries, no one has ever accused you of being overly diplomatic. In fact, since you have no compunction about saying what you think, your mouth regularly gets you into trouble. It's true that your verbal outbursts often relieve tension in tight situations, but there are times when kind words are a more effective way to get a point across. Why not try it?
It's written in the stars! What? I don't know how people get through their lives saying what they don't mean. For me, if I don't mean it, I don't say it. As simple as that, neither I go pretending to like somebody when I actually don't. Maybe that's why I have easily counted number of close friends, I might be losing friendship chances with people that will "grow on you" type.
You know, I have been feeling largely guilty about something I did back in November 2010. I was in this very close friendship with these 8 girls, all with the gungho and the cheesy name. We were 'almost famous' during uni time. Then one of the girl, aka bitch stole another girl's
boyfriend fiance. It was all pretty maddening, as I was the first one who knew somehow. To cut the long story short, the shameless pair came to the wedding that I was attending. I met them for the very first time and how I hated what they did. All of them hugged and kissed like nothing ever happened. I can't, I just can't! I tried to avoid them, yet the bitch got the nerve to tap me on my shoulder and cheerfully said Hi!
Honestly, I had this battle in my head, whether to say hi back or do something else. So, I turned around, looked at her and then I turned away. From the corner of my eye, I saw her running to that boyfriend she had stolen, and he told her "it's allright", and then they left the party shortly after.
Was I wrong? I know it isn't my boyfriend she has stolen, but as a girl, I can feel the pain. My friend is standing right beside me as the both of them stood hand in hand. Her heart must have sunken, and I refused to accept those people that did this to her. I refused to let them be together in peace, thinking that everybody accepted them. It's horrid, I know.
Thank God, coming out of this traumatic friendship, we found out who is real. Who was willing to cry for us and with us. Thank God for this friends, they are most precious to me.
