SOME PRETTY SIMPLE RULES
9 years ago
And now, journals!
I didn't think I'd have to write this journal, but here it is! These are the rules that I live by, and they come with talking to and with me and being my friend.
1. I DON'T OWE YOU ANYTHING. This is kind of extreme, but seriously...This should be obvious, and I've dealt with it one too many times. If you ask for pics of me and I say no and you get all offended and act like you're entitled to pics of me or anything else that I don't feel comfortable sending, then you are the reason that block buttons were invented.
2. ME NOT ANSWERING DOESNT MEAN I HATE YOU. I'm a college student, and as such I'm really busy most of the day. If you feel insecure enough to check when I favorite stuff on FA so you know when I'm around to talk, then please work on your self esteem. I'm all for helping people and being supportive but please don't think I'm around 24/7 for you. I also talk to many many people on a daily basis, and that burns me out fast. There will be some days, maybe even a week or so, that I choose to only talk to my close friends just to recharge my mental stamina.
3. FRIENDSHIP DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU'RE ATTACHED TO MY HIP. I've had this happen several times now where someone mistakes friendship for something more and then gets upset when I say no. They get possessive and start what I can only describe as borderline stalker behavior. If you start doing this, expect me to stop talking to you until you get your shit together. It's nothing personal, but I need my space.
4. DON'T TRY AND GUILT ME. You do this, it doesn't make me sad. It makes me angry. I see this as a very controlling behavior and I will not stand for it. I live by a very simple five-by-five rule: If it isn't going to matter in 5 years, then I don't let it bother me for more than 5 minutes.
5. I LIKE CUDDLES BUT NOT FROM RANDOM PEOPLE. If you send me a note acting all cuddly and stuff right off the bat, it's a little uncomfortable. I like to get to know someone before hugging and snuggling and noticing their bulge, thank you very much.
6. IF I SAY NO, THEN THAT MEANS NO. This kind of goes along with everything else. I don't hate you, I don't not want to be friends anymore if I say no. No just means that I don't want to do something, and if you take it personally, then that's your problem! Please respect my opinion and wishes. Non-con is only sexy when you keep it in character :P
7. IF YOU WANT TO BRING ME DRAMA, PLEASE KNOW ME FOR A WHILE. Don't get me wrong, I love helping people with their problems. I'm in college for therapy/psychology at the moment, so it's kind of my future career...but that doesn't mean I'm doing it just yet. I help my friends and I love doing so, but even I have my limits in emotional and mental stamina.
8. ALL OF THIS DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU GUYS. I love meeting my watchers and making new friends! I just need you guys to respect my boundaries, and I'll respect yours, and we'll get along well!
ADDITIONAL RULES: These will be rules that I added on after this journal was made. I'm scatterbrained...I don't think of everything. Plus new things come up
None yet!
Thanks for understanding, and have a great day! :)

FA+

It all comes down to people learning how to respect others I just don't understand why that is so hard for a lot of people to understand especially here. But you know your hyena bro has your back if someone is giving you a hard time just send them to my office.
You seem like a very nice person, from the little chats we've had so far, I won't rush anything with you since I know that's not how things work. Maybe I should put up rules like these for myself too…
deal with folks a bit more easily in the future, dude. Hang in there!
I shall cry forevers.
Isn't that a good things?
