A friend reminds me i havent blog in a while. Aww that means u are my frequent blog reader theenn.. so nice to have a fan.. *all right im joking*

Well i just wanna say, i’ve had it with overly sensitive people. Like, cant u tell when someone’s joking and when she is being serious?

Honestly, grow up. And don’t always blame others everytime a problem occurs. Try to reflect within urself, and see if there’s a role u urself play in that problem ur facing. Kalo kata orang Indonesia, ada asap maka ada api. Tidak ada masalah yang dimulai dari satu sisi saja. Asap ga muncul klo api ga muncul. So if ure facing a problem, most likely u also started it urself. Maybe ur not the whole reason it started, but u must’ve played a role, even if it’s a tiny, insignificant one. I can start giving out examples, but that would be too much information for this blog consumption. Haha..

I eventually get to think, how do you get yourself likeable all the time? How do you act so that you won’t mess up anybody’s feelings accidentally, especially the overly sensitive ones? Because I mean, no one is able to always act pleasingly. There are times when things are just so shitty, u just cant be nice (at least that’s me).

Well, one can always act nice. By that I mean "pretending" to be someone ure not. That’s politic. But I just cant do that. Pegel banget. Besides, will people like u more if ure not being u (in the context of friendship, not subordinate-and-his-boss relationship)? At first they might, but in the end they’ll realize who u really are. Why bother trying when u know u’re gonna fail (i’m only using these phrase for this kinds of problem though; not gonna say the same thing when im talking about something else.. hehe).

So i guess, i have to conclude that you can’t always be likeable all the time. And those overly sensitive people are the ones who should learn to grow up and not be upset by just the simplest little things we normal people do. Duh.

ps. not like im saying im normal.. eh what’s normal anyway? hehe.
