Snap out of it

10 October 2012, 09:35

You probably just went through pages and pages of people you wish you looked like. Snap out of it and realize you're beautiful too. It gets really annoying hey, people's low self-esteems. It's understandable in some instances and you get really compassionate with the 'victim'... That's another thing that really gets to me you know. Victims! They are the worst people to be around.

We've all had those type of friends. If you've never come across such people in your life you're either very 'lucky' or your turn is just coming [fake grin, Lol]. Victims are the most difficult people to deal with. They blame everything on something and they never want to do anything about it..

They just want you to listen to them go on and on about how pathetic and unsatisfying their lives are. I'm sure we all have problems and would definitely change some things in our lives given the opportunity. But we don't necessarily moan about it every second minute of the day. I don't know if they just want attention or are trying to drag us all down in their muddy lives. And then when you say such things they'll most probably label you and accuse you of being an 'insensitive b@#%!'. I'd probably deserve to be labelled as such. But honestly, I'm sick of having to act like I care. Sort of your messy life and snap out of it.

We all go through trials and we've all faced situations that made us feel worthless some time in our lives. The only thing that distinguishes us is our capability to face things, go through them and come out of it. Sometimes it's an ongoing struggle you know, but standing upright and keeping things in order is what helps us get through.

The 'victims' on the other hand want to keep their heads on the ground. They want to keep reminding you how bad they have it, how ugly they are, how stupid they feel, how alone they are... The list is just endless. And the worst thing about these kinds of friends is that they somehow try to make you feel guilty for being completely happy and content with the way things are in your life. Like they just wish you'd mourn their sad self-inflicted lives with them.

Who cares if nobody lets you know you're beautiful or tells you how smart you are? Sometimes you need to first see these things in you before anybody else can knowledge them. You've had it really bad in your life.. We understand. But it does you no good to dwell in your past hurts and fails.. It just makes it really annoying to be around you. Stop complaining about things you can change. It's just not excusable. Snap out of it.. And get over it..
