Time for a rant about something that eternally (and extremely) pisses me off.
Why, exactly, do girls endorse the bad relationships that their friends get into?
Like, seriously, I can talk about this from loads of experience. Half the girls I've liked decide that no, they'd rather date some abusive jerk who thinks of them as an object than a person. I've seen it happen. I see the whole thing kick off and then it all ends in tears as the girl cries that all men are terrible, at least the rich attractive ones because they're the only ones that matter and the rest of us aren't actually "people."
So why, when it's incredibly obvious that a guy is a douche, do their friends not tell them "hey, this guy seems like a jerk, maybe you should reconsider"? Are they
all that blind?
Seriously, let me ask you a question. Actually, it'll be a few questions, but you owe it to me to give me an actual answer rather than blowing me off like you and everyone else normally do.
First of all, what the hell kind of reason is "well, he got there first!" So what? SO FREAKING WHAT. Do you know how annoying it is when people on the web comment "first!" and nothing else? Yeah, it's like that. That doesn't mean anything special, particularly when the guy who got there first is pretty clearly a grade-A asshole. Yeah, I'm swearing now. I don't really care, because I'm angry and depressed and after 20 years' worth of taking crap like this from the world I've earned the right to speak my mind.
Question number two, what is so great about these guys that makes them so much better than me? I keep hearing "oh, you're a really nice and funny guy! You'll find someone who likes you!" Yeah, except for the fact that I
still haven't, and you're saying that to me
whilst pushing the girls that I like toward these jerks. Do you know what that says to me? That says you're a hypocrite. That also speaks a great deal toward what you think of my intelligence!
Third, and here's the kicker, did you ever think that maybe
he already had a chance?! I got ONE. ONE CHANCE AND BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DON'T RESPECT ME I BLEW IT. In case you hadn't noticed, this was my one chance to make an attempt here, and since we go to different schools in different states I won't ever see her again. Don't tell me that's not true, you know it is. People who live near me don't talk to me anymore because they forgot or thought I wasn't worth it. I'm willing to bet you won't ever think about me after this trip either, none of you will. It's not like it's anything new.
Just... don't even
think about giving me that "oh well, life isn't fair"
bullshit. You honestly think I haven't heard that before? Trust me, I know that better than just about anyone, certainly better than you do. I was
ten years old the first time someone tried to kill me. THE FIRST TIME. They tried to strangle me with a costume piece for a class play we were in.
I don't get you people. You don't seem to value the things that matter in life. If somebody gave me a chance I could show how much I would value and appreciate them. But you don't seem to care about that, only the shallow things like looks and money. And since I'm average at best in those areas I'm just not good enough, am I? Take a moment to put yourself in my shoes. Think about how it would feel to be alone like this, and want to matter in just one person's life, but they always reject you for reasons you don't really understand. And then, some people act like they want you to feel better, but it seems more like they're just trying to blow you off because they don't really care and don't want to deal with you.
I've been getting that vibe from people for as long as I can remember.
Yes, I'm angry right now. I'm angry at you, angry at them, angry at the whole damn world, and angry at myself, especially, because I want to be better for everyone else but I can't figure out how.
So you want me to stop being angry? To stop being depressed? Then I dare you, I
challenge you, to do something that, to my memory, no one else has ever done.
Stop, take some time to look at this situation, see where things are so painfully, obviously wrong that you've all overlooked. It's simpler than it sounds. Sometimes things that happen are just plain
wrong, but if you know what they are than you can make an effort to change them from becoming that way. Do what nobody else has and actually help me. Do it. Prove that you care. People tell me "that's just the way it is" and act like I can't do anything about it, but that's not true. I can make things right- I just can't do it alone. Because everyone refuses to acknowledge that maybe
I deserve to be happy and just expects things to get better, and think I should just feel better without any effort to make that change. But you who are reading this can change that- life isn't decided for you. Things aren't "meant to be" or any metaphysical crap like that. You all know that I'm not a bad person. I deserve good things in my life just like anyone else. I'm getting close to the point of not believing in anyone enough to think any of you could help make that big of a change in my life, but
I'm asking you to prove me wrong. Please, I genuinely ask it.
Dare to be brilliant.
