You can’t get mad at me for knowing what I want
When you know what you want in life relationships become more difficult. You’d think they’d be easier but you’re dealing with people who’re vibing through life and don’t know what’s happening most of the time.
A lot of people expect you to just follow them without question and when you don’t, they don’t get it but what they do get, is mad. They’re not used to dealing with an independent person. They’re not used to people not being just like them. They’re not used to people not needing them.
They think you’re being difficult when you’re just being an individual. You don’t want to blindly follow others and you don’t want to have your time wasted.
I was speaking to a woman recently who didn’t know what she wanted out of the situation. It would have been fine but seeing her would have been complicated as she was in another country. She didn’t understand that I don’t want to “see what happens” with a person across the globe (an hour away by flight).
This is the most annoying thing about these people, they don’t realise that your time is precious.
