I'm pissed, but should I say why?
Can a guy and a girl be best friends without having relationship issues get in the way? When trouble arises in our lives, we often turn to our friends for advice, and most of the time, it is not whichever friend that is free we share our problems to, but to the ones we feel the strongest connection with, our best, or close friends. But that does not solve our problem does it? Can our best friend wave his/her magic wand and make things better again? We all know that the only way to solve the problem is to share it with the one whom we have a grudge against, yet we all find it so hard to do, because we dislike the feeling of confrontation. We don't like things to be awkward, or to think that things will be awkward.
When we are asked to do something we don't really fancy doing, do we give a definite no? No, we say something like maybe, or see how first, or we come up with excuses, and give people false hope that we might do what we don't want to do. Is it wrong?
Personally, I would still like to believe that a guy and a girl can be best friends without emotions getting in the way. I would like to believe that when someone has a problem with me, they would come and tell me, instead of telling their best friends. I'm not saying they can't, but I'm saying, don't tell your friend you don't like the way I dress, and then never tell me about it because you think it's petty and that I will just laugh it off. I would like to believe that when people say maybe or see how first, they really mean it, with the intention of doing what was asked of them, instead of those being used as excuses to avoid awkward confrontations. What happened to the days of definite yes and no?
I'm pissed, but yet I know that tomorrow this won't matter, and no one will care about what I believe in.
