Two faced people
Today I feel like writing about the type of people who we are surrounded with, the good ones that you can trust with your life and the ones who are only there to either make sure that your life doesn’t get better than theirs or to use you in every way possible until are of no use, and that is when they leave you and find someone else.
I always had trust issues and have never had many friends to start with. But with time, and due to me being close to certain important people, I found myself suddenly surrounded by an increasing number pretending to love me. The funniest one was a guy who actually proposed to me as follows: if you get me close to XYZ, I will marry you and give you whatever you want hahahahahaha. When this first happened, I just stared at him, because I was obviously shocked believe it or not. I knew that people are self-serving, but this was a new one, If you need my help with something just come out straight and ask for it lols. That makes me respect you more and actually want to help you. We laugh at this story obviously a lot because of two things:
1- He thought I actually wanted to get married so desperately that I would do this for him.
2- Him thinking so much of himself like he is the prize
to end on a high note, let me tell you about a second example of the good in some people's lols. Earlier this year there was a small change in our department. I hated it at first thinking I didn’t want to work with this person (even though we were friends outside of work) etc. To be completely honest and truthful my reasoning was a bit dump thinking he would come between my favorite person and me in the world. But after a short while, I realized that he was one of the few people who had my back and will never abandon me and that any time day or night If I picked up the phone and called him he would always help me.
I think it always comes down to what people are made of, nature and nurture, the long-living argument that psychiatry has been having. And unless you are one of the people in the second category, I would advise you to find those few people who are good at their core and stick with them, and you will have a joyful life full of laughter and adventures. Don’t keep the other kind around because they will work hard to keep you down and make you miserable. That is all I’m saying.
