My Teen Years
Are you at the right blog? Because it’s about to get angst all up in here. Haha, I was just rereading my recent blogs and they’re pretty, well, selfish and violent. I apologize. But at least it’s the truth. At least I’m not feeding you lies about beautiful butterflies and BLAH BLAH BLAH. This week’s blog topic: Self Pity If you don’t respect yourself, why should I respect you? There are different kinds of self pity. I have three friends who are avid self pitiers. Subject A: Girl is a silent sufferer. Only those close to her know how much she hates herself and she looks so strong on the outside. Of course, now she defines herself by her relationship and I don’t talk to her much anymore so I can’t say anything too bad because it may not be true… moving on! Subject B: Girl is a loud and silent sufferer. She puts herself down openly but keeps the serious painful pity to herself and only her closest friends. And I honestly cannot tell if she actually uses her pity to get attention or if it’s her subconscious and I am only noticing it because of my observations of her personality. Honestly, though, she has become more stable because she’s with a guy she really loves. Subject C: Girl is an obnoxious sufferer. She says it loud and proud. Every other day it’s, “My life sucks.” Or “I’m screwed” and I’m like, “Honey, It’s 9:00 in the morning. HOW DO YOU THROW A PITY PARTY AT NINE IN THE MORNING?? Nothing has happened yet!” And then the next day she is super hyper, happy, and peppy. And slightly annoying. I admit, I had a bad day this week. On the day she had her good day. So, I deserved her reaction to me because I just ignore her self pity now. Because deep inside she’s just a little spoiled and overcompensating because of family issues. And she asked me if I was ok, then smiled and went on with her day. I really hate playing Psychologist sometimes. It’s like I look for motive for every attitude and problem. I should give advice… people say I’m maternal anyway and I reply, “Oh dear Lord, NO! I am too young to have kids!” So, maybe I’m a little stressed out with a busy schedule and tough school work… I should to to sleep. It’s almost midnight and I’ve got to stay positive on Friday just to get through the day! Have a good weekend everyone!
