Disclaimer: If you don't want to hear something somewhat negative, or just plain don't care, then stop reading riighht aboutttt...NOW. If your reply may be something like "tough shit, deal with it." then stop reading right about now too...or you can try it and get a nice big F-U ...but thats not nice now is it?
So i've come to the conclusion that the vast majority of my "friends" just plain suck ass. We've all had the type of friend that is great when everything is going along as it should be...but the instant you feel like ass they disappear until the next time they need/want something or they're feeling like crap. So what do you do when you realize that almost everyone you know is like that? When the instant you become depressed everyone pretty much takes to the hills and tries to wait it out? I tend to wonder if anyone knows how it feels to feel depressed to the point you can't even work right anymore, then having no one who gives enough of a shit to actually take some time to show they care and listen?
Now, as a person that does go out of the way to listen and try to be there for people, I realize that not many people out there want to hear this kinda stuff in their free time. Sure, I can relate to that, and all this time i've just been putting it aside, telling myself that it's selfish to expect people to go a little extra out of their way like that...but seriously...fuck that concept and the horse it rode in on. Even though I want to say enough of this self-sacrificing try-to-be-a-good-friend bullshit...I know i'll still just end up doing it anyway...because thats just the way I am. So be it, i can deal with that no prob. I do NOT expect a reward, nor even like treatment even if I go out of the way to be a good friend to someone, but in the overall picture of things...ffs...is it too much to ask?
The number of people who've actually taken the time to get to know me past what I show on the surface can be counted on one hand, and I wouldn't even need all my fingers. To those very very few people that realize I smile all the time not because im happy, but for the happiness of others...I thank you from the bottom of my heart and I miss you like you'll never know...to everyone else...well I suppose all you'll see is me smiling and joking around like you usually do...so it really doesn't matter to you at all now does it? But hey, i'm still here for you guys anyway, because I feel that its the right thing to do. I know the feeling of being alone and misunderstood, but i refuse to be bitter and jaded about it, so if I can do my little unappreciated part for someone so they don't need to go through that I still shall.
That's enough of sharing whats in my head from me...so...
