Must Rant..
Rumours or gossip dont mean shit when youve never really had the chance to get to know someone, so I always try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, that they truly are not assholes, and they dont really mean to be what they're known for. Its just that when shit hits the fan, situations can become ugly and their ugly side can be evoked.I love Randy Pausch's "The Last Lecture" and I always manage to learn something new even on the 10th watch.
But in times when im SO frustrated with someone and cant abide with what I wrote in the first sentence, I force myself to think what he said, “Wait long enough and people will surprise and impress. When you're pissed off at someone and you're angry at them, you just haven't given them enough time. Just give them a little more time and they almost always will impress you” and that “When you're screwing up and nobody says anything to you anymore, that means they've given up on you."
I wont name any names so we will refer to this person as 'anti.' I feel like anti, for some reason always takes a shot of haterade before every encounter and that I am some kind of her punchbag with her verbal abuse.
I am generally passive so I will take it in but not stupid to forget and will bottle it up inside. I constantly give anti the benefit of the doubt thinking in time, we will naturally work out and we will eventually, mutually, accept our differences. (And also bc I am in constant interaction with anti) With that being said, I do not want anti to "like" me nor do I care if anti does or does not, all I expect is respect bc I dont know for how long I can keep working at it probono.
I believe in karma and that even if I dont necessarily reciprocate, someone else out there is probably doing it for me.
If you're an asshole and you know it (clap your hands! har har), just know that their silence is not a form of weakness, it's their virtue in which they're trying to live by.
