Checking in again
Currently feeling weird, confusing thoughts regarding people. Do you ever have those opinions that you want to say, or at least get across, yet at the end of the day you're happy for no change to happen for them to take place? Like, you saying your opinion is merely just to state it but you're not going to go out of your way to protest and perform activism to instil those changes? I guess I should provide an example.
To not get wildly political, this'll be a small minute opinion. I believe that Pineapple is Okay on a Pizza. However, I do not want people to put Pineapples on Every Pizza, nor do I want people to put Pineapple on their Pizza because I said I feel it's okay. Some may infer that I think Pineapple should always be on Pizza, and that by having Pineapples on Pizza that the Pizza is made better. Or, others may infer that I hate Pizzas that don't have Pineapple on them, for not having Pineapple on them. In actuality, what I said is bluntly what I feel, and there aren't any underlying thoughts to accompany it. Yet unfortunately, some people will actively try to infer thoughts to accompany it for their own reasons, and then when they say adamantly that they think that I'm being unfair or offensive by thinking the way that I do by using their inferred thoughts as hard evidence, I am unable to adequately defend my point as they will still try and say that I am in-fact wrong and evil and offensive for it. And, when I get so tired at trying to defend my point to them that I feel incapable, I will merely try to pass it off as if I agree with them and that I'm just showing the opinions of the opposition or that I was misinformed and that I concede.
Replace the metaphor with a majority of topics, both serious and minor, and at the end of the day that's what seems to be happening with me and some people. People who, merely a few weeks prior, had been close friends with. The fact that despite investing so much time and effort into a friendship, that they'd rather toss it away over things like this, hurts me deeply. Yet, I still feel like it's wrong to feel hurt by their actions as in my head, it says that I caused this upon myself, these are the consequences, deal with it.
Have any of you felt similar ways, or know others who have? Do any of you know of ways to deal with it?
I'm going to be getting counselling soon regarding it as well as a wealth of other issues, but it helps me learn to see how others have dealt with it so that I may find ways that work for me.
