reading the inner thoughts of people who treat other people like possessions, services, or goods, really creeps me out.
why does any and all contact between a man and woman have to be deemed sexual? or with some ulterior motive?
how the hell do people even enjoy a moment in a relationship when the whole thing is treated like disciplining a dog, disapproving of the behavior of a small child, or attempting to condition someone to behave as pleases you best? since when are relationships all about yourself?
why even ask the question? tell the girl it makes you uncomfortable when she enters your personal space, enough said. if it makes the situation "weird," id say to reevaluate the stability of those whom you call friends. if your friend holds anger inside himself that his girlfriend's attention loses focus from him for a moment, well, lets just say id never vote for that guy as emperor of the world.
read a great quote on selfishness the other day:
Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.
- Oscar Wilde
i just described my reality, my perspective. idgaf if you don't agree.
of course, i'm not the one making gross assumptions and personal characterizations based on such a thing. bad karma what?...
Ive got to agree. My relationship with my best friend dissipated after I brought this exact thing to his attention. Most people in relationships are wholly and fully selfish, but somehow believe they are the opposite. Most people just want the world around them to conform to their comfort zone, and become upset when the actions of others defy their personal wishes. Most people cant tell the difference between "i love you" and "i love the way you make me feel." ME ME ME ME ME is the focus there...
In any event, I witnessed my closest friend fall hard for his first real long term relationship. He is a true selfless person, though through inexperience, is blind to the motives of his partner. She, on the other hand, is a manipulative, lying, self centered, self focused, greedy, and cheating* person. I tried so long to show my friend that she is the perfect example of not being able to tell the difference between "I love you" and "I love everything I get out of this relationship" and he chose to grow apart from me. He wasnt comfortable with my perspective on his otherwise utopian world. Now I, as always, must reevaluate the integrity of my friend, and wonder if he is the man inside i thought he was, or if he is just seeking a false, utopian reality.
*of this, i was witness... unfortunately the only witness...
Few people in this world realize they only know one word:
ME
