the truth is vile but vital to this cause

why is it that people endure so many unnecessary hardships at the hand of others? there have been too many times where i've seen people continue to drag out a fruitless friendship or relationship while knowing the whole time that it's pointless to do so. if there is no balance, rewarding give-and-take, or happiness in a friendship it's time to get out. we're not being tallied or graded on how many people we can get to like us, it's not a competition. being nice is highly overrated and when i really think about it, being nice means telling the truth and being honest with yourself which can be hurtful or unpleasant to reveal. people need to get over pleasing every person they come across and just be genuine. there's no more raw feeling out there anymore. it's always about keeping the peace, being quiet, and frankly- being a total pussy.

not my style. if i don't like you, you'll know. this doesn't mean that i'll come up to someone screaming obscenities in their face. it means that i won't shoot a fake smile and make mundane small talk. there's nothing callous about that. it's one person being true to how they feel. i always give people a chance. if there is no spark, no connection, no interesting conversation- there is nothing for me to stick around for. the friends i have, i value to no end. i don't need people to be fans of me, i don't need to be the nice guy- because the nice guy lets you fuck him up the ass. i am not that guy. i do not want to be fucked up the ass. i'd rather save everyone time, energy, and deeply hurt feelings by getting it out there immediately. that is my way of being nice and think about it- it's true. why lead someone on?
