The following is reposted from my Facebook notes because, well, there are other people out there who get treated this way, too. And it’s a bunch of bullshit.
This is me ranting about people. Specific people. The ones who act all, “zomg, we should totally be BFFs!!!” and then don’t fucking talk to you for months. Years. Until it’s convenient for them, or they get bored enough to weed through their friends list. Life happens, I get that. Shit comes up. But damn, people.
Or how about those, “we should chat!” bitches you bump into on occasion who swear up and down they’ll call you/text you/IM you, then don’t? Love those. (That’s /sarcasm, for the me-illiterate.)
I’m starting to feel like that date who gets sugar and spice and everything nice at dinner, a promise of a phone call and second date, then wonders if maybe, just maybe, I gave the wrong number? Shit, did I transpose those last two digits? Did I write my email all illegible? But no, you just decided I wasn’t worth the time of day and conveniently didn’t tell me. A simple, “You’re nifty and shit, but I’m just not that into you.” will suffice. KTHXBAI.
And you know, I act all nonchalant and I-couldn’t-give-a-fuck-if-I-tried. Because breaking down into tears of, “why don’t they like meeeee??” is fucking pathetic and makes me stabby just to think about. But I’m not a goddamn droid there for you to turn on and off when you please.
I do actually have feelings. (GASP! I know. But my doctor swears I have a blood pressure and everything. Totally living, breathing, the nines. Go figure.) I’m a big girl who can handle her share of Dear John letters, but I’d actually like to GET them. Hanging in limbo sucks.
So if you don’t want to braid each others’ hair and make friendship bracelets, I think I’ll recover. Just have the cajones to tell me so, k?
It’s appreciated.

i had to laugh, tho i know it’s not funny…
but your take on it is funny, and the fact that your sense of humor is still intact is an awesome thing!
hang in there, the real people will appear. and there won’t be a LOT of them…just enough!

I am so in the same place right now with a couple of people, and it pisses me the hell off. I have no idea why they’ve dumped me. If it’s because my husband and I are struggling financially and can’t afford to go out, then screw them. And if it’s because they just don’t think I’m cool, well then screw them too, I guess, but it still hurts.

Dude, did I write this in my sleep? I feel like I did. This is going on with me RIGHT. NOW. You didn’t talk to me and blew me off for 4 months and then I get engaged and all of a sudden you’re my bff and want to be in my wedding party except that when I asked you to hang out you don’t answer?! Yeah… I so know how you feel.

I’m a dickwad and haven’t responded, but I shall now:
You Are All Awesome. Notice the caps, because Awesome deserves to be recognized. People do indeed suck and they shall get their own back one day without any help from us, but until they do, at least we know there are other Awesome People out there with which to spend our time. Like here on BBT. Fuck yeah.
