New Subject I wrote about-a small taste of what my article will Intel-
a Friend of Convenience is somebody that you talk to, joke with, hang around with, think about, etc. (You know, Friend-Stuff) only when it’d take little to no effort on your part to do so. Now, I know for sure that some of my people's don’t feel that way (there’s only a small handful, though, unfortunately). Others... well, they’d say that they’re truly my friend, and I really wish I could believe them... but I lack the naïveté. I don’t want to seem like I’m attacking anyone, even though I’m not naming names (and I won’t, either), but I firmly stand by the age-old and time-tested credo, "Actions speak louder than words". As much as I loathe sounding so self-pitying, some of the people that I care about the most don’t ever seem to return the feeling.
I think the event that really made me start seriously considering the possibility that some people may be (unintentionally, I’m sure of that, at least) dishonest in their extolling of their thoughts and feelings dates back to hmm (Sept. 2004, for future generations). The relationship between me and a friend was very, very strained, to the point that we weren’t talking at all. It went on for a while and really got to me. Anyway, one day this particular person walked up to me and started talking to me. I briefly wondered why this friend would break this long silence (and even posed the question, but got no response), but I was so giddily overjoyed that this friend decided to re-open the lines of communication again that I didn’t care very much. It wasn’t until several weeks later that I realized why she had come to me again... she wanted information. About a guy. That she had fallen for. From every angle that I’ve been able to examine this event (and I pride myself on my objectivity), I’ve always come to the conclusion that... basically, painfully, and frankly... she tried to use me in an attempt to get him.
I know that’s incredibly harsh. And I know that if whoever that particular person is ever read that, she’d probably be insulted, offended, or hurt. And, no, that’s not the only example... several times she seemed to be quite... well... rude... in her pursuance of the target of her affections. Now, I’m not pointing fingers or anything... people do strange things when they’re in love, right? I’ve been an ass myself while my emotions were churning and bubbling like vinegar mixed with baking soda. But, like I said, that’s not the only example.
People continually have something in them that makes them believe they are okay in using someone ......
