Well, I woke up today (how surprising). I didn't
work, so I could sleep in... until I HAD to get up. I was lazy and
didn't put my newly-washed sheets on, so I slept on the
couch... again. Just laying there, all I could think about was what
happened in my previous entry. Was I really considered a jerk by
most people, they just don't tell me to my face until they won't
take it anymore? Do I really say rude comments often? It doesn't
sound mean to me when I say it. Maybe I'm the one that gets them in
a bad mood, and why people talk to me as if they are doing so
because they don't want to be rude themselves and say for me to
leave, but they smile and gladly talk to their other friends as they
pass.
Maybe that's why no one likes me and would consider being more than
a friend.
As I lay on the couch, I tried going over parts of conversations
with various people, trying to see if anything I said could be taken
rudely, trying to make them sound rude. There were a few things that
I was shocked to find that if I had been the person it was said to,
I would actually be a little hurt by it, but it sounded perfectly
kidding and all in good humor when I said it to them. I imagined
myself trying to talk to one of the people whom I offended the other
day, trying to explain to them that I never meant anything harmful
at all... ever. I imagined myself at work telling her that, and her
not liking it, just because I was talking to her. I thought of
something I could do to make it up to her. She's really into Star
Wars, so what could I do with that? I could draw a picture... but of
whom? And how long would it take? I imagined presenting her the
picture and saying it was to make up for me being a jerk all the
time, and as I thought about that scenerio, several tears escaped my
eyes. People say crying is weak. If that's true, then I'm a
weakling. But I think of crying as a good thing. Don't get me wrong,
I hate to see someone cry all alone, or if I'm the one who caused
them to... that just eats my insides, but if someone feels bad enough
to cry, I think it's better to than to hold it in, unless you're in
public and you'd rather not. But don't think any less of yourself
when you do. I mean c'mon... nobody's THAT heartless -Pacha.
Well the rest of the day was spent doing breakfast cleanup,
mopping the kitchen, and vacuuming downstairs. Luckily my dad was at
work, my mom with Catie and Ben at some classes, Andrea at work, and
Amy and Matt were both at school, I was able to listen to my music
while I worked, though it didn't do anything to me. The happy songs
from Dragon Ball seemed lifeless... as did the hard rock songs, the
lyrics in Billy Joel's songs seemed to agree with me saying rude
things, and the sad songs left me comparing each word to what had
happened lately.
Heidi got on but wasn't in a cheerful mood, either, but it was
just one of those days for her, but she did make me feel a little
better by saying she thinks I'm really nice and trying to cheer me
up, but that won't cut it. Sure if someone was mean to me, you can
make me feel better, but if it was because of what I did to someone
else, it's almost impossible to take that away until that person
feels better.
It was cold today. I talked to one of my other friends, and she
said she doesn't think I'm rude, but she wouldn't mind if I was.
Somehow that doesn't sound right and could mean different things. It
turns out, she would feel better if I was rude to her since she's
rude to me. Now, I may not know much about what to say at what
times, but to me, that doesn't sound like it would make for nice
conversations. I can just imagine her saying something and me making
a rude remark, and it would only be a matter of time before she
would be telling me to shut up and then leaving me online. I know
some of her friends, and I don't think they are mean to her, but she
seems to get along with them fine, actually comments on how nice
they are and is happy when they send her something. But for some
reason I get more of a feeling she's less than happy when I try to
be nice or caring. Maybe it's the way I say things. Maybe it's
because she doesn't like me that way and is annoyed thinking I'm
doing things to win her feelings... I don't know. I feel like an
outcast, or a stranger whom people talk to, but not as comfortably as
they do with their friends. I'm just worrying about what's going to
happen at work tomorrow. Will my friend be there? Should I say
anything to her? Would anything I say make a difference, or just
make her mad that I'm talking to her? What could I say anyway? And
what do other people there think of me, for my name has surely come
up one time or another among co-workers who work together. *sigh*
This sucks.
