i've learnt the hard way, not to take things as it seems on the surface.
like sigmund freud's iceberg theory, what you see on the surface is barely enough for you to even chew off the skin of a mcd nugget.
the bottom. what's happening at the bottom is the really scary part.
i used to take compliments and things as people say it as that. only that.
to me, what they say = what they mean.
bright doe-eyed, i would take them at what they say and leave it there.
it never occured to me that they would not be saying what they thought, or what they wanted to say. hmmph.
i still think the world would be better if everyone did that *glum face*
now, im more clever. when people compliment me, i put on a suspicious face first.
do they mean what they say??
or do they mean the totally opposite of what they say??
or do they say the opposite of what they say thinking that i would know what they mean??
or do they mean that what they say is the opposite of what they mean??
or...
well, you know what i mean =/
blardy stupid people, no??
JUST SAY LAH WHAT YOU MEAN!!!
aiyor i have learnt that people usually say what they THINK that people want to hear, then go back home and grouch and gossip and be oh such a blardy worked up piece over the simplest matter ever, like where we went for lunch or so.
dont like, then say.
dont say, then like.
simple. like the cartesian circle thingy ilyas mentioned in class today =) HAHA!!
like that day, dude told me,
"people who would pay millions to go on a date with you, and I GOT YOU."
moi: *shocked face*
then
*suspicious face*
then
*blur face*
dude: "you're SUPPOSED to say back the same thing to meeee!!"
moi: *snorts* PFFFFFTTTTT!!!!
then *laughs* LOUDLY.
oh i think i hurt his feelings that time =)
hahaha. anyway, get me?? seeeee~people want to hear what they want to hear -.-
you tell them something else they get so upset and tortured and emo.
which to me, is such a waste of time.
unless you get attacked by a stupid virus called DIGITAL PROTECTION lah!!
then i grant you permission to go to a corner and be emo cuz it attacked your baby.
or, people ask you: "do i look fat??"
obviously, you HAVE to say NOOOOOO~ of course not!! you look LOVELY.
all the while trying not to laugh/snort/vomit.
which takes alot of talent im sure.
but why not just say YEAH YOU LOOK FAT. WEAR SOMETHING ELSE.
alah so what of they get hurtttttt.
they asked, so it means that they should have had the guts to take whatever people throw back at them lah.
yor so mafan think up nice answers for what.
how to see if people dont mean what they say
1) eyes don't really meet you
"really nice to see you again" *looking at the ceiling
-.-
2)super fake extremely large smile
"hhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~" not to mention the super long "hhhhhhh~"
3)looks anxious before meeting you
(most probably she/he was thinking of what to say what to say what to say)
*learnt this from pl~no offense gal!!=)
4)sounds too good to be true
"i'll buy you anything you want!!"
"i'll love you FOREVER. "
"no you are not fat AT ALL!!"
"i'll listen to you from now on."
"I'LL CHANGE!!"
5)use common sense lah.
most people have the sensitive-ness to know when they are not wanted.
unless you people are like me lah~i really don't know when im not needed wan Xp
so, just tell them straight to the point that they are not wanted.
at the end of the day, i still think that being honest to the point of cutting metal is still the best.
*BIG SMILE*
