This journey that I have recently been on (if you're not clued up read from my very first post onwards) has been such an eye opener to me about who are real friends and who are not. The thing that gets me every single time is the fact that 90% of people are so bored with their own lives that they have to find meaning in them by trying to bad mouth or gossip about others. Its pathetic and sad on so many levels. Yes, I feel strongly about this because I'm not the type of person who's going to open my mouth and share with others what I've been told in confidence or spread a rumour that may or may not be true. I just wish everyone else was the same too. Unfortunately that's not going to happen because it seems like its human nature for most to be complete gits!
So here's how I handle those types - and you'll know exactly who they are in your life unless you're ridiculously gullible:
- I don't trust them as far as I can throw them (which with my current state of fitness is not very far at all)
- I don't tell them ANYTHING that I don't want spread around.
- I generally avoid spending time with them because they also have the ability to drain all my energy and happiness (kind of like the Dementors in the Harry Potter books)
If you are one of those types, then for the love of all that is good and kind, GET A LIFE and stop trying to stuff everyone elses up just because you feel inadequate in yours! The wheel turns people - what you give out in your daily walk you are going to get back again. Sow seeds of discontent and poison and you're going to get it back big time. Get some back bone and learn to bite your tongue.
Right, that's me for ranting today. I feel much lighter now :)
