One of my colleagues has a bad habit of wearing her emotions on her sleeves. While it is understandable sometimes, most of the time, it becomes unbearable and downright insensitive. Everyone has problems, so come on, suck it up and move on. Not everyone has to know your latest sadness saga. Of course, I don't say that. Sometimes though I have to stop myself. You see, there is this small but strong part of me that either has to please everyone or is just genuinely nice. So one day I approach her and, while I don't want to discuss her latest emotional upheaval, I try to post a bright happy face, say something nice and try to cheer her up. Guess what, it doesn't work, and what's more, she gets pissed and makes it clear to me that she doesn't need my cheery propositions. In the end, I am the one who feels guilty for offending her... it always happens. Short of groveling, i try harder until she cheers up. isn't that great? No! it's exhausting and insensitive. After this, I realized, I am not getting too feely about it, people are just downright meaner these days. Gone are the days that we are obliged to be nice to everyone, not for propriety's sake but because it WAS THE DECENT THING TO DO! Oh well, i get in a fit because i get easily affected by these. Sometimes, I have to buy myself new stuff to feel better (not that I don't want it). i don't get it....and i don't want to get it anymore.
bigboy promises to get back to you soon with new news! nunus!
