Awkward People Who Used To Talk To You

We all have a friend that suddenly turned on us. It usually happens like this:

You inadvertently piss someone off, and then poof it's World War III in that person's mind. They suddenly stop speaking to you, pretend not to see you when you're waving at them like an idiot and eventually when you stop trying they unfriend you on Facebook (stop it, you know you care about Facebook).

This is normal behavior for little girls in 8th grade, but if you're in your 20's... grow up. Tell the person why they pissed you off. Chances are if they were friendly towards you they didn't mean to offend you. Everyone has this slogan that they use as a cover up to avoid awkward conversations "I hate confrontation".

Well, get over it.

You don't have to be aggressive, but you have to open your mouth.You'll see, if you actually say things when it happens situations like this wouldn't happen so often. When you bottle it up you are very likely to create a storm cloud in your head, and make everything 10X more awful. Trust me, It's far better to have a conversation with someone than to be mad at them for having their food on the same shelf as yours in the fridge.



That's just cray...

    Haha, oh wow. So after I read this... *BAM* . OUCH I was deleted... uhhh? Okay? Oh no, how am I ever going to live? Come on people. Technology has taken over our lives! "iRobot," "The Surrogates," "Wall-E," we should learn from these movies. I think the only good in all of the technological deletion is that if it hurts then that means you care but if it doesn't, you just move on. It's sad that people can't just talk, what has society come to?!

      Facebook, I think that's the best answer for the question.

    SuJahn is right. Nobody talks. Plus I think we're losing our ability to talk. Phone conversations are full of -- well -- AwKward pauses now. Eye contact creeps people out. Personal space is getting wider and wider, at least here in the U.S. Some sociologists and psychologists believe that the rise in autism is an adaptation, another stage in human evolution to help our species deal with all the sensory overload. I don't know. Maybe. We have to find some way to deal with all of this, and shutting it down doesn't seem an option. Sigh. Now that rant was awkward.

      Haha! Not awkward at all! I love it.

      I don't know why eye contact is so creepy... Sometimes people create a storm cloud in their heads. Usually when I'm staring at someone I like their outfit. Hm, but I too am guilty of thinking like "WHAT IS THIS PERSON LOOKING AT" sometmes. Oops!

      There's eye contact and then there's creepy eye contact. I was in a class once where we were supposed to learn to make eye contact. Public speaking. That kind of eye contact -- the brain-probe, let-me-slurp-your-soul kind -- is definitely awKward.

    Facebook is always the lcd. Seems to me, mending bridges is all about being the bigger person. I wish there was a how-to on dealing with immaturity.

      Hmm, I'll start working on that just for you. But, I think I should stop watching cartoons for a week first.

    Have I told you I love your pictures? And I agree. Drama is for high school. Let it go.
