Often, people ask me why I am so brief and blunt with what I have to
say. People who are close to me know that I, despite the situation, will say
exactly what I mean. When someone insults me or my loved ones, i retaliate
quick as a flash.
When people insult me, I go straight up to them and argue
it out. Once, one of my friends had called me "too childish to talk
to". I felt hurt, and I wished that I didn't consider her one of my
friends. To retaliate, I called her a "two-faced backstabber", as she
had insulted me for no fault of mine.
Another time, my family friend, Anya, was talking to my
best friend, Vanessa. The two of them seemed to enjoy talking, so I assumed
nothing was wrong. Only later, when I was skating with Vanessa, did she tell me
that Anya had insulted her. Not only was I annoyed with Anya for hurting my
friends feelings, but i was irritated with Vanessa for not telling me earlier.
I was furious at both, so I didn't speak to them for a long time.
The main reason that I show my feelings is to prevent a
conflict such as the one between Anya and Vanessa, and so that if it does
happen, it stops early.
Another reason is my closeness to people. I absolutely
can't stand it when someone insults my loved ones. In case it does happen, I
retaliate to prevent it early on.
When my dog was a puppy, he was easily excitable and loved
jumping. He used to love getting petted by new people. Once, when I took him
for a walk, a stranger started walking towards me. My dog assumed he was coming
to pet him, and started jumping, woofing and wagging with joy. The stranger was
taken aback, and called my dog a "rabid mutt". I was infuriated, and
I told the man to leave my dog alone. Surprisingly, he did so.
As you can see, my straightforwardness comes out alot,
sometimes at the wrong place and time. It often irritates me, but I embrace it
fully, as it is a part of who I am.
