It's not my nature to allow (mentally) abusive friendships to go further than a few insults. I've had a boyfriend to teach me that valuable lesson several years ago. So when I hear gruesome tales of unfortunate conversation or interaction, I can't help but feel the need to strap on my boxing gloves and have a go at the perpetrator's face. One doesn't need to surround themselves with crap to feel fulfilled. It seems obvious that you'll just become full of shit yourself. All the while, you may have an occasional laugh or a jolly ol' time watching the mall walkers, the exaggerated judgements passed upon your music taste or the color of your hair should not be tolerated.
1. Back out of the room slowly, but firmly.Breaking up with a friend is awkward. Though you didn't see each other naked, running into them might be worse than seeing an ex.
Shit, I'm starting to sound like cosmavogue.
2. Communication BreakdownNot that anyone calls anymore— but just don't do that. And texting, hell no. The problem with texting is that it's too damn simple. You can compose a text on the toilet, in your sleep, the shower, driving, eating, drinking...
Let's just get that contact out of the phone altogether.
Oh and social media, what a disaster. You can concoct a dossier based on your grandma's facebook page. Although it is amusing to watch people over-expose themselves to the internet.
3. The Last StandListen, I don't think we should hang out anymore. I've sent this through facebook before. I wasn't especially fond of the person, so I didn't feel a scrap of indignity.
