I hate how transparent people can be. Let me guess…you want to impress this girl, you want to talk about yourself, you want some of my fries, you think that girl has a nice ass, you love your reputation as a character, you want me to listen to this song.
I only consider it transparent when these people never actually say what they think or what. It’s not like they begin with, “I only act this way around you cause I want in your pants”, or “I don’t really care about you but I’ll let you speak first so I can have my turn later”, or “I want some of your fries so I keep asking about how good they are so you’ll offer me some”, or “You’re hot so I’m going to stare”, or “I want a crazy reputation so I’m going to act crazy”, or “I want to be the one who introduced you to this song”.
I’ve been told that I’m very transparent when it comes to people I don’t like, and hopefully that’s the only case for me. I generally won’t go around telling people that I hate them, but I’d rather someone know than not know. That way they won’t waste their time with me and I won’t waste my time with them.
Things would certainly be a lot better that way.

In english, it should be like :
“If everybody knew what everybody thought, it won’t enven be 3 friends in the world.“

Je suis d’accord. To me, a friend is someone who can totally accept everything about someone. My friends basically know everything about me, good and bad, but they’re still my friends. That’s probably why I only consider a few people friends, or why only a few people are still my friends. I think that’s a lot better than being pseudo-friends with a bunch of people I barely know. What would be the point in that? I’d rather someone not be my friend, than be my friend until they find out something about me that they can’t deal with or accept.
the one that gets me, is the one where a person will let out a loud sigh, hoping you’ll ask what’s wrong. nobody sighs when no one’s around.
I do :)
Frankly, I enjoyed the boundary photo of your cat so much, I saved it to my hard drive. And I never save other people’s photography because it’s all just pictures to me.
I’m glad your blog is as delightful as that picture.
