i know for a fact and because of my own experiences that there is no one person that i like every single day, and i'm no exemption. i sometimes don't like me either, but that's just day-to-day kinda liking and disliking.
i suppose an example might help. i work with some people that say they don't like other people but yet hang out with them during work on a regular basis. now, does this mean they don't like them, don't like me, or just don't like being alone? (man, i really wish i could read people's minds, my life would be so much easier).
i get invited to things, plenty of social activities, but i wonder am i being invited because of who i associate with or because i am wanted? if it's the first, then by all means, PLEASE save me and you the trouble and do not extend an invitation.
i often feel used by a few "friends", as though i am only go for when they don't have a ride, or anyone else to hang out with. that kinda shit i don't like. just make a decision, because most of the time i can almost immediately decide what level of friend you are to me.
- level 1 friend: divulging everything, have most likely shared a bed at some point, i have cried a lot with you, you have met my family, considered family, there through thick and thin.
- level 2 friend: trusted with a lot of information, have not yet shared a bed/sleeping space because the circumstances have never called for it, however, overnights might have occurred, met the family in 1-2 occasions, can call on this friend for a good time, or when in dire straits.
- level 3: friendly, hang out on occasion or often, everything is superficial in conversation, nothing to terribly deep, but you can call on this friend in dire straits.
- level 4: friendly, idle chit-chat, smiles, hello's, perhaps co-workers, or friends of friends. i do not have your number or address.
- level 5: acquaintances.
- level 6: i barely remember your name. i would say- we are not friends at all.
here's the basic thing of all. if we were once friends and now we aren't, i just stop talking to you, or something had to have happened for our friendship to no longer be. if i make an effort, and so do you, then obviously we are friends. if i tell you i don't like you, we aren't friends, figure it out.
it's the wishy-washy friends i have that piss me off. one week i'm invited to a ton of events, life events, parties, etc, and then another week you barely say hello to me. make a fucking decision and just let me know until then leave me alone.
do you ever get that feeling that no one likes you?
Level 1: High Five. I am the envy of the world. :)

Hello my level 1 friend. I love you and your crazy ways.
ReplyDeleteLevel 4 to 6 drops off pretty fast. Next time I'm in NYC, I want to sleep with you. How's that for a pick-up line? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI don't tend to think people don't like me, but rather people forget about me, in a sense.
that's an amazing pick up line!! the best ever! and you're not a level 4- you're definitely further up! :)
ReplyDeletei am with you on being forgotten at times, in a sense.
you both should be the envy of the world! high fives fo' sho'.
I wasn't so worried about my number. I just feel sorry for anyone who starts tipping to the acquaintance category because it's a quick drop off. :-)
