No matter how old we get, we play games. No, I am not talking about poker, or monopoly. I will buy up park place and throw down a straight flush, anyday. I am referring to the head games, and mind fucks that we throw at each other on a daily basis. It's a waste of my time, and frankly it's not any fun at all. Why do people call it playing games? It should be called doing chores or eating dog shit because its about that enjoyable. I am 25 years old and I don't have the time for it anymore. People who DO have the time for mind fucking and riding around on the emotional shit eating roller coaster, should get a job and/or life.
You always want what you can't have. You chase after the opposite sex who has no interest in you what-so-ever. In the mindset of a mental patient, the worse they treat you the MORE you like them. Why? If someone doesn't like me, I will go find someone who does. I am not the hunch back of Notre Dame, or a 400 pound walrus... (Im not saying that if you were an overweight hunch back you would deserve poor treatment.) But, I know there are plenty of men out there willing to date me. Why would I chase after someone who isn't interested? It's a waste of my time and yours, and I don't need any wasted time.
Is it just me, or does it seem like the older you get, the more quickly time flies by? I swear it was just a couple years ago I turned 21... Even the past month of school. It felt like I only went for 2 weeks. With my life flashing before my eyes at an insane star trek warp speed, I can't stop and obsess over some idiot who doesn't realize how amazing I am. By the time he figures it out, I will probably have found someone else anyway. Beam me up Scotty.
So why do we "eat dog shit"? It leaves a nasty taste in everyone's mouth who is involved. It's not even like it takes brain power or talent. Nobody ends up "winning". You both ate the shit... You are both dumb asses. I have come up with some simple ground rules to avoid acting like an idiot, or being played like one.
1. If you like someone, call them. If they don't call you back, move on. (Don't wait a certain amount of days after getting their phone number.)
2. If someone invites you to do something, don't pretend you have other plans just so you can play the hard to get game or seem unavailable. You'll end up doing nothing when you could have had a lot of fun. (Don't make plans unless you know you can keep them. When you break them you'll be sending mixed signals.)
3. If you don't have an interest in someone and it's obvious they have an interest in you, BE HONEST. Let them know so that they aren't annoying you, and wasting their own time. (If it seems like they aren't interested, they probably aren't. Quit bothering them.)
4. Don't try to make someone jealous. All it will do is piss them off and show them what a moron you really are. If you need to brag about the other people who like you, it's probably because the person you are bragging to, DOESN'T like you. Move on.
The main point in all of this... Be honest. Don't play games. Don't be a shit face.
