Perfect is a bad word
Perhaps I should write this blog with not nearly as much emotions. I am upset. I feel like I am justifying to a person on how I am. I feel as though the person they have in front of them is "not good enough". I get that I am not always going to have things right. I'm human. I make mistakes. I am clumsy. But I am sincere in what I do. I sometimes am too compassionate for my own good. I worry too much about someone else's feelings I forget to tell myself I don't need to explain the person I am. You accept a person for whom they are. You might not like all traits of them. It would be strange if you did. Perfect is a bad word. Perfection doesn't exist. It's like waiting for a unicorn to come. Unrealistic expectations render some very bad choices. At least that's how I see it. For just a bit I was enabling someone...I was letting them put me in a corner. Unrealistic expectations of what you want me to be like is cruel...actually. I wouldn't do that to you. I felt insulted, really. They funny thing is this person has no idea how many times I made sure to prioritize their feelings...when really I shouldn't have to do that. This is exhausting. I am confident on who I am as a person and a friend until we talk. And then without meaning to you basically tell me I'm not good enough. Your unrealistic expectations are going to alienate people.
