Entertain Me

Something has been bothering me a ton lately. I enjoy laughing, I enjoy attention and I love having conversations with people. It seems to me that people have forgotten how to be the other end of a conversation.

I have people that will text me, so I'm thinking they want to chat since they text me right? Oh how wrong I am. It usually ends with me responding with "How are you?" Now, when I ask you how are you I am not just trying to sound nice. I actually want to know how you are. Give me details! I am nosy and I like details. You can't bore me. Don't just respond with "okay." Okay? UGH! Then they respond with "How are you?" So I go into detail. "I'm bored and tired." "I didn't get a lot of sleep last night." I give detail.

Then, the next response I receive is "That's good." Really? That's all you got for me? I am so sick of short answers that can't really go any where. I have other things I can be doing other than TRYING to carry on a conversation with someone who text me first.

Another thing that annoys me is when someone is trying to outdo me or trying to throw me some pity story. First, I am not trying to compete with me. I am not trying to see whose life is "worse." Second, I have been through a lot of crap and I pulled through just fine. I don't care what you have lost, how sick you have been, what kind of crap you went though in your childhood. It should not be an excuse for you to be a whiny brat looking for attention. Guess what, I get attention in a totally different way. I make people laugh! I act like a moron sometimes and other times I actually have intelligent conversations. I don't need my "Oh woe is me" past to get that attention. I learned to deal and move on, you should to.

Next, people that take over a conversation completely! I have a friend that I talk to often. I love her to death but I hate just listening. It's funny cause I will start talking and she will actually start talking OVER me. Sometimes I feel like she thinks that anything I have to say is just high school nonsense and means nothing, while everything she says is of the utmost importance.

There are very few people that I can actually talk to and not get bored or annoyed. VERY FEW. And only a few that I could possibly text all day. If those people read this blog they so know who they are.

That is my rant. It is poorly put together and kind of all over the place but...that's how my brain works. Deal with it.

Much Love
