The one with the retaliation
Friendship should be about giving and receiving. Let’s be honest, even though some of us try to balance those two, it’s never really even. Too often do I see people act in a more reactive way whereas it should be pro-active. Inviting someone for your birthday? But that person didn’t invite me to theirs.. Sending someone a holiday card? But they wouldn’t send me one so why should I bother? What’s with the retaliaton?
Look, you should be grateful to have friends, so try not to ruin it by getting upset over these little things. We should all try to be the bigger person. I won’t lie, I know sometimes I can be a prick too, but more often than not, I am trying to be the bigger person. Who cares if a friend of yours didn’t invite you to their birthday bash. Maybe it was a small gathering with just family, maybe they wanted to avoid certain awkward collisions. Maybe it’s just because they didn’t have enough cash to invite more people like you. But why should you get all angry and upset over it? What’s the big deal? Let’s not retaliate but be friends unconditionally instead. Aight?
