What I've noticed about some of my friends here is that they have an aversion to listening. They have a tendency to sit, whine, and complain about their lives, relationships, one night stands etc. However, being the somewhat friendly person I am, I give them advice and listen, no matter how boring what they are saying might be, the amount of work I might have to get done, or the fact that I have heard the same story about a million times. However, when it is my turn to talk and bitch , they are quick to steal the fire and go back to talking about their life, start texting/ reading old text's on their phone, or saying be right back and going to talk to a group of their friends. But despite all the stuff they are doing, they are still "listening". So if I did the same thing how would you feel? Like really? It's just annoying hell. It kind of shows the self-centered nature possessed in everyone (my self-centeredness comes from writing a post bitching about this and you guys). Seriously, it shows a lot about both of our characters:
Me
-I am a pushover, because although I may be bored in the middle of your story, I remind you that I am interested, and despite the fact that I may have heard the story a million times or just don't care, I will pretend to.
You
-The fact that you enjoy listening to yourself bitch and moan is annoying. The fact that you only like to have your problems solved truly shows how self-centered you are.
So I always thought I had some true blue friends here, maybe I don't. I mean at least my friends from home will listen and give me a chance. It might just be the competitive selfish, cut throat nature of Penn, which drives us to be these self-centered assholes. Who knows
