Ok. I went out last friday with an old friend of mine, this girl (not f*** buddy, not girlfriend, just a friend, she's engaged anyway). Anyways, we were catching up and talking about things and we got on the topic of past relationships. I've had a couple with some coldhearted women who had problems, not when I first met them though (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered), but after sometime they developed certain issues with themselves.
I did everything in my power to help them but to no avail. I tried everything from being Mr. Nice Guy to putting my foot down and telling them like it is.
Now all this girl 'friend' of mine can do is attempt to give me advice that I didn't even ask her for, we were just making conversation. During her "insight", she says something to the effect that "you can't be a soft guy". I asked her "What makes you think I'm a soft guy?" and she was like "Okay, Steve, lemme ask you, have you ever punched someone before?" I told her "No, but not because I'm a soft guy, I was just never in a situation where I had to fight, that's not my fault though."
Now I know myself, I'm nowhere near a soft guy, maybe I'm a bit more mature than most my age (22), but when I get angry.... I'm not even gonna get into that, forget it, let's just say its something most people don't see often, you know. But what am I supposed to do? Just walk up to someone in the street and start a fight just to prove myself? That's stupid. What's this friend of mine expect?
Several times that night, she kept talking to me as if I didn't break up with the previous person when I mentioned to her EACH time that I did. Then we're talking on the phone the next day, she brings it up again then I told her AGAIN, then shes like "Really? You told me that? Wow then I guess my listening must be off then huh?" 'Cuz see she says one of her best qualities is that she listens and she values it a LOT.
I even write screenplays. We went to see a movie that night, then when we come out she was talking about how good it was and starts questioning my writing "Now, CAN you write as good as that?", she's never read any of my work and my writing is pretty versatile, I've been workshopping it for a few years now. This girl doesn't know as much as I do about screenwriting and the film business and here she is talking like that. Makes me sick.
Why is she like this? At heart, she's a really good person. But those certain things she did/said really got me upset. Anyone gone through some similar B.S. with a friend?
