One last thing 'fore I sleep...
Feb. 16th, 2004 12:30 amSo I was just about to go to bed when I got to thinking about my life and all that.. like I usually do before I go to sleep...
And I remembered something that happened the other night with a friend of mine. So we were talking and lately I've been telling everyone who I haven't talked to in a while or who I do talk to on a regular basis about the fact that I'm SERIOUSLY considering going on a macrobiotic diet. I explain what the diet is and so on and so forth. It's something I really honestly plan on doing.
So I told a friend of mine this and when I tell people I Get really excited about it because I really want to do it :) and like when I told him he literally said this to me.. " I give it a week. " I was in fucking shock. So I told him that wasn't a very supportive thing to say. And then he went on this rant about how people can't stick to diets and how he doesn't think I can do it and yadda yadda yadda.
It took every ounce of self control I had not to first slap him in the face and then to just scream at him about what an unsupportive dickhead he was being how he was just pissed off becuase his stupid ass couldn't stick to any of the diets he'd tried and that he was just bitter.
But I didn't. I merely told him that he was being HIGHLY unsupportive and that I didn't appreciate comments like that and moved on. There's two things I wanna say about this subject.
1. My thoughts on the person themselves.
2. My thoughts on the situation that happened.
1. This friend with whom I told this to is a serious negative energy. I think he has severe depression and like EVERYTIME we hang out he's always totally pessimistic about things and it totally kills my mood. It's getting more and more to the point where I want to hang out with him less and less. But everytime I try to talk to him about whatever's going on he gets REALLY defensive and becomes a total asshole. So I'm just like dood. What the fuck do I do with you?! I dunno the whole situation is REALLY frustrating. And then he bitches that all he does is like sit at home and doesn't have all that many friends and doesn't understand why he can't get a girlfriend. And I just want to tell him it because he's so damn negative all the time and he makes NO effort to go out and do anything social. So I don't know. It's sooooo aggrivating.
2. When a friend tells you something they're planning on doing something to better a part of their life where you know they're really stuggling with it and having a hard time with. You shouldn't immediately put them down like that. It's seriously fucked up. It's like. Be a friend or don't. But keep comments like that to yourself. If you know someone is like self concience about their weight.. don't fuckin ask them why they're having a second jelly doughnut! If someone tells you they're going to try a new eating plan and a new lifestyle.. don't tell them you give them a week. God that pisses me off. If I'm telling you something it's because you're a friend and I would think you'd be fuckin happy for me. I wouldn't have told you if I felt you were going to put me down for it. People are seriously just bastards sometimes.
