Attacks of kindness (Mostly a Rant)
What is it a person can do to confront those who are soft of heart? It's one of the most touchy things a person has to tip toe around when you need to stand up to someone who has been mortally wounded in the heart in a previous occasion. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. The kind of person who has obvious flaws that on any other person you'd say "What the crap is wrong with you?", but with this person you cut them some slack because you know the outcome will entail one (or more) of the following :
These people are hypocrytes. Expecting mercy when they give none. They feel that they are able to say "That's not right" or "You shouldn't do that" when they themselves do it on a daily basis, covered behind the "I'm trying to quit that" ideal.
These are the kind of people who will pick a homeless person out of the pack, and give them 20 bucks for a 200 doller job, and give the cover of "I'm doing this person a favor, they had no money before me!" These people are manipulators, and very intelligent at what they do.
You may be asking yourself, what am I getting at? Nothing really. I'm just on a rant. I have a few personal issues that I have to get down on paper. Collecting my thoughts in a moments time is sometimes a difficult thing for me to do, and I find that when I put them all together it's easier for me to remember.
I've also got a favor to ask of all of you. How have you delt with these kind of people? Do you have any words of wisdom that I could use in dealing with these type of people, and is there a way for them to see thier flaws and better themselves? Is there hope for my plight, or do you have a story of your own to share?

- An "attacked" feeling

I dated a girl who was like that, so this may not be totally related, but I found myself getting more and more wittled away, and pretty much shyed away from having my own opinions after a while just to avoid conflict over nonsense. I guess the best advice is to not let this happen to you. |

I had a friend like that. For about 4 years I did some combination of putting up with it, instructing him on how to change his ways, ignoring the things I didn't like, etc. He changed, but it was just because I told him to and later went back to acting the same old way again. I cared about him, like how he was doing and all, but eventually I just had to end the friendship. He took up too much of my valuable time. Years of my life. And he got really mad at me for calling it quits. But then he got over it. Change, it has to come from inside the person and sometimes they just need more help than friends can give. |

Well placed advice, and I believe that I'm going to come to the same conclusion. But just as I'm sure you two thought, I've got to hope there's a chance with this person ya know? I'll take your words to heart though, and will be careful how deep I let myself tread. Thanks guys. :) |
