A Disclaimer.

This is a rant. 

Because I'm so pissed off. But you know what? After this rant, I'll stop talking all about this incident because no one is worth that much of my dedication and attention. And it's in the past so one recount will suffice. I don't feed on betrayal and gossip, I'll live. 

_____________________________________________

So I know this person, let's call him/her A for anonymity's sake.

Well, it's not that I don't like you as a person. I'm not denying that i dislike some aspects of the way your character, but a large part of it is because of the way you behave. I'm sure you have the capacity to not be this way, and I'm wondering if you actually realise you don't gain others' respect, instead so many of us are cursing under our breath.

You don't listen to anyone else, you only hear yourself. It almost seems as if the only person you bloody care about in this world is yourself and the things you want- how you want things only your way. You lead and are able to cause people to listen to you, but there is no balance and it is not out of natural leading but out of forcing your way into the situation. 

You think loud is good? I reckon it's insecure. 

AND. Maybe it's time to realise that not everyone is afraid of you, or to stand up to you. Because when I said what I said, I had meant for you to hear it. Sure, all of us gossip, but I'd rather tell it to your face. What is there to hide? Oh wait. Because then you got upset and started gossiping behind my back. Sure, that's cool.

Well, get this. The world does not revolve around you. And you're gonna get into some deep shit if you think you can always throw your weight around. A good leader is also a good follower, but when have you stopped to listen to someone else's idea? When have you ever not tried to impress your ideas and opinions on others? Just because someone has a differing opinion from you doesn't mean your opinion is superior. We have freedom of speech but not everyone needs or wants your opinions sometimes. And when you try to fight to justify your opinions so desperately, just what does it prove? 

He who restrains his lips is wise, but a fool opens his mouth and removes all doubt.

Just so you know, when people laugh, it's not always with you, but maybe you haven't realised. If you really wanna "give it to me", then give. You don't threaten me in any way because a loud mouth doesn't make a person and I ain't got nothing to prove if you think flaring up at me will show people your "power" and "ability" or whatever it is you're trying to prove. 

I thought you were genuinely outspoken, etc. But I realise it branches from insecurity, not confidence. 

Food for thought?
