Unwanted Opinions.

Dearest Blog, 


What I can't seem to get over tonight is the fact that some people just think that their opinion is needed no matter what the situation might be especially when it's just completely unwanted. It's not the fact that his opinion wasn't the same as mine, it's just the face that he shoves it into my face and claims he's being a "true friend". 


Let me tell you the story....


About 2 days ago I cut myself a fringe, bangs if you will, and one of my ex boyfriends decided to send me an IM about how he can't believe I cut my hair. I understood why it would be a shock for those who have known me for such a long time because I've always had long hair. However, he arbitrarily comes out and tells me how he doesn't like that it's cut and doesn't like that my hair is pink. My hair has been pink for about 2 weeks now and like I said, I just recently cut it. 


Again, it's not that I didn't like his opinion, because his opinion just like anyone else's is all fine and dandy, but it's the fact that he just thinks that it's all okay for him to say all of this to me because "he's a true friend" and in his words "a real friend is gonna be honest with u no matter if it is rude or hurts not smile and tell u what u want to hear". Which, in his defense, is true. However a "real friend" wouldn't push their unneeded and unwanted opinion on someone.


To me, it just sounds like an ex boyfriend that wishes to get under my skin. In a way he did but only because he kept ignoring the point I was trying to get across (which was that I didn't care what his thoughts on my hair style/color really was).


So needless to say, you just can't be friends with some ex boyfriends. Shit just doesn't work that way. Especially when they seem to think that you are suddenly becoming happy with life and they just want to knock you down.

  1. That's true.
    Like I mentioned last night, a "true friend" will be "honest" and at times hurtful with you but I can only imagine such a situation to manifest if what's making you happy is detrimental to either yourself or to others.

    It seems your "true friend" was hiding behind an overplayed title to voice his own adverse opinions regarding your choices in life and then resenting your response because he was being rude and hurtful to you because you "deserve it".
