I just do.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like I&#8217;ve done something horrid, something terrible, and something unforgivable. I don&#8217;t know what, though.<\/p>\n<p>A few things have recently come to my attention, however. Firstly: I enjoy the universe working the way I picture it, and I&#8217;ve denied third person&#8217;s perspectives, because they don&#8217;t match my own conclusions. This is\u00a0absurd\u00a0of me to do, and for some reason, I continue to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\/\/ Self punishment goes here<\/p>\n<p>Secondly: Double standards. I have quite the abundance of these, no lie. The more I hear it, the more I&#8217;m believing it. I&#8217;d love to throw this term over a cliff, but that&#8217;s beyond an impossibility; I&#8217;d love to blame it on, &#8220;Everyone&#8217;s a hypocrite,&#8221; but that&#8217;s out of context, it wouldn&#8217;t work in my situation&#8230; So what&#8217;s my next best thing? &#8211;\u00a0Obedience. Compliance. Acceptance. I guess I&#8217;ll just have to live with the fact I&#8217;m still not exactly who I want to be.<\/p>\n<p>\/\/ Continue self punishment<\/p>\n<p>Tying this in with numero dos, my Mother said to me that I&#8217;m beginning to treat my friends exactly how my past friends treated me. And it sunk. I AM doing that. I didn&#8217;t even realize it until it was verbalized to me. That makes me all the more asshole. What can I do about this? Reevaluate my time. Begin putting myself out there more. Become active in all the friendships I wish to retain. That still doesn&#8217;t change the fact I&#8217;m not doing it automatically, and that still means at heart, I&#8217;m a crappy friend.<\/p>\n<p>\/\/ More self punishment<\/p>\n<p>The more I think about the person I am, the more I&#8217;m starting to dislike it. Who I want to be and who I am are still so far apart, I&#8217;ve lost track on how to get there. And now I&#8217;m finding myself questioning if I&#8217;m a good person or not. Who would consider me decent, and who wouldn&#8217;t. Chances are, people I consider friends would say I&#8217;m not the greatest person. And I believe them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Hopefully this is just a phase, something I&#8217;ll outgrow, something that won&#8217;t linger, something that doesn&#8217;t set me back too far. Maybe one shitty night every once in a while is really just a good reality check on my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really have absolutely no idea why I feel this extreme need to just apologize.
