And now, a list of things you should know about me.
If I’m eating alone and didn’t invite you, I probably don’t want to eat with you. And if you’re going to think, “This is so awkward! Maybe I should ask her to eat with us..”, don’t. If you wanted to eat with me, you’d have invited me before making your way up the hill to the dining hall. I was only about 20 steps down the hall. If you’re just going to invite me out of pity, don’t bother. And it’s not awkward. People eat alone. People do things alone. It isn’t awkward.
Just because you don’t like something does not mean it is not good. I understand if you don’t like it, but that doesn’t mean you have to bash on it, and call it stupid. That’s just disrespectful.
If you’re going to watch an awards show, I can understand a couple comments now and then, but if you’re just going to hate on everything that isn’t what you like, don’t bother watching with me. I understand really wanting something to win, but why do you think it’s okay to immediately say, “That’s so stupid!” after it doesn’t win? Just because it’s not what you like does not mean it doesn’t deserve to win.
I cannot stand when people use “gay” or “retarded” as insults. Just stop. Think about the words coming out of your mouth and stop. Being gay or having special needs are nothing to be ashamed of, and are in no way equivalent to stupid or dumb.
Lastly, I’m really terrible at keeping in touch with people. If I make any attempt to contact you, that’s pretty rare in itself. If I’m having to ask you to talk to me, it means I really really want to talk to you. And it probably means I’m upset with the fact that we are not talking, or that I think you don’t care about me. I’m needy like that.
If you can understand these things, we’ll get along just fine. If not, that’s unfortunate. Nice knowing you.
