Greetings and Welcome to the Republic Database! Here is your topic!
Greetings and Welcome to the Republic Database! Here is your topic!
Where to begin with this... I know it's been such a long time since I've done a rant journal but this has been on the topic with me thanks some friends of mine.
Now everyone has heard the old saying, "Hard Work usually pays off" however what does that apply with friends? Now, I've worked hard to make friends, I make sure I know their limits and make sure I'm not a threat. I make sure I give them their space and will be there for everything. Now you may ask me why describe that? Well up until recently, I've been friends some people for about 3 years now, a very old friend to be precise. I've respected the person's limits sometimes, tried to be there whenever I tried to be. However it never seems to pay off, it always feels like I'm not there... or never once considered their friend. To him I'm just this random fanboy or random person that just talks to him.
Now heres what really gets to the more annoying part, while I worked hard to be friends with this one person, someone whom this person met, just becomes instant BFF's and shrugs me off. Now you might think or say "Some people just click faster" or "some people are just lucky" Well honestly I'm more sick of the term of it, because it makes my hard work seem like trash! To top it all off, the person will believe anything this one guy will say and or trust their side. So if I get into a fight they'll believe the one person over a seniority I have.
See working hard does has it's reward, but sometimes when you try to work hard for friends... it never does pay off, because other people are lucky, some are just born into it, and some are just thrusted into it. So unless you have the world's greatest charisma, is the richest man on Earth and can buy anything you want, or can accept all forms of life without trying to kill everything; Working Hard to be friends usually never pays off.
Now Sorry for my Rant

For awhile it felt like I became a third wheel and not important to em anymore. For awhile thankfully I was proven wrong when saying how I felt at least made one of my old friends and the new one care more about my feelings. But then a year or so later, feeling like I was close friends with all three it turned out to be not true. Two of em, the newest and one of my older ones of the three pretty much started to ignore me for no reason at all and still don't know why. Of those three only one of em is still my friend while he is still close to the other two, even closer to them than me despite knowing what those two did to me. So, all in all, it was very hurtful and honestly after finding out those same two in one way or another backstabbed me to others, it really just got my blood boiling and now it just really makes my heart sink when it comes to trusting others
So yeah, I agree with you, hard work doesn't pay off, merely sets things up for a fall down the road. My goal now is finding any means of proving myself wrong about this.
