|
People. No, women, men, the other sex. Whatever. With large egos.
|
|
Some have had their call with them. Some will meet them. Anyway,
|
|
you need to keep your shit-ass hat on when you're dealing with
|
|
them. Fuck. You know, that girl. (Hey, substitute 'girl' for boy
|
|
if you're one. This goes for everyone). You know you need something
|
|
from her. It may be just friendship, it may be more than that,
|
|
but believe me, it is a lost cause from the start. Well, you don't
|
|
believe that from the start, of course. Or _they_ have failed. They
|
|
need to throw that web of innocence, non-egotistical, friendly and
|
|
oh-ever-so-kind front up your ass to get you to become interested
|
|
in the first place. When they notice that you indeed did swallow
|
|
the bait, they will continue to be sweet, innocent, even caring
|
|
(if they are able to be that) sometimes. For a while. JUST DON'T
|
|
BE FOOLED! Please. P L E A S E, if you're sincere, if your feelings
|
|
are genuine, keep the distance, you had before, from the start.
|
|
(Of course this only applies when you've noticed that she _is_ in
|
|
fact just a large ego walking the streets.)
|
|
|
|
How? Just don't meet her, call her, talk to her for two days, and
|
|
meet other people during those two days, and *think* about if you
|
|
really want her to be yours/your friend/whatever. Can you stand
|
|
hearing her talking about herself day in and day out, when you're
|
|
with her, when you sleep, when... If she gets pregnant, do you want
|
|
to be the father, and hers for the rest of your life? Do you care
|
|
about her enough to make that commitment? Of course. When you _think_
|
|
you like, even love, someone, you can make those commitments, and
|
|
fool yourself to death. What you need is "A Bullet In Your Head"
|
|
- courtesy of rage against the machine yet again. Seriously, watch
|
|
your ordinary day and see if she fits in. Can you give her something
|
|
she doesn't already have by becoming her boyfriend/friend/aaaaaagh?
|
|
|
|
Sex? Sure.
|
|
Listen, she's getting all the sex she wants from others, so that is
|
|
at the very lowest step of the ladder. No, cross that one out. THINK!
|
|
How does your everyday look? Would it change if you became her
|
|
whatever? Why? Ask yourself these questions. More than once. Get
|
|
drunk. Get stoned. Get your ass out the door and ask yourself.
|
|
Now if you think I wanted you to say "Yes, it would change" to get
|
|
out of this stupid situation you're _wrong_. If it would change
|
|
then she's got the hook in you. Yes yes, you're hooked. There's
|
|
only one thing you can do if you're hooked and really want to be
|
|
hooked on this person. Let it go. Unless you're able to share her
|
|
with about 20 ex-boyfriends and 200% of her talking about herself,
|
|
you're lost. She will dump you like the fool you are in a couple of
|
|
weeks. It's just a matter of time before she loses interest in you.
|
|
It's just a game to her. She proves that she can get _anyone_ by
|
|
not doing anything. You just proved her point.
|
|
|
|
Now, I hear you say - "well, what if she's not _really_ like that?"
|
|
"she's an ego, okay, but she's kind to me." _Big_, no - _Huge smile_.
|
|
Yeah, so I also thought that once, or twice. (Some people don't
|
|
understand the first time - like myself.) Believe me, she is like that.
|
|
She'll be kind to you as long as you only show an interest. But as
|
|
soon as you open up to her (ie. whatever you say, "I want you.." etc.),
|
|
she wins. Then she can use everything you said to your disadvantage,
|
|
she's got you where she wants you to be. And she won't listen to reason.
|
|
Now you can't tell her "Hey, why are you talking about yourself all the
|
|
time? You're such an ego." because you don't want to lose her and make
|
|
her _use_ the stuff you said. But listen. Why do you want to keep her?
|
|
Keep her, by the way? Do you _have_ her? No. She's got _you_. You'll
|
|
never ever _have_ her. No-one will. That's the deal. To spare yourself
|
|
from nerves on the edge, to save you from getting really _hurt_, to
|
|
keep your dignity (if you have any that is), keep the fucking distance.
|
|
|
|
Of course, there are things you can do if you want to keep her as a
|
|
friend. Maybe you want that huh? There might be ways to change her
|
|
ego into something not-so-egotistical, right? (yeah.. right. santa
|
|
is real too huh?) Seriously, of course you _may_ be able to change
|
|
her ways. If so, you're lucky, but you're also in for some heavy duty
|
|
work. They way I do it (can't speak for anyone else) - I keep the
|
|
distance.
|
|
|
|
I remark lightly when she talks about herself, give her small hints
|
|
like changing the subject every time she starts on her ego-trips. Any
|
|
subject is good enough. Even the weather. And I don't call her. No no.
|
|
That's probably the most effective thing to do. She expects you to call
|
|
her. _You're_ the one that's interested in _her_, right? So you're
|
|
the one who should call her. So, just don't do it. Easy enough. She'll
|
|
wonder after a couple of days (usually two days is enough for her ego
|
|
to start wondering what she did wrong this time) - then she'll call
|
|
you. "I WON!" you think. W R O N G. You're on your way to success
|
|
though. But it is a small step. Tiny tiny step. You're playing with
|
|
her ego, remember that. You can still end up on either side of the
|
|
border. Friend. Enemy. She's still in control, but she allowed herself
|
|
to show you something by calling you of which you now have control over.
|
|
|
|
She'll never ask you why you didn't call her. That would _really_ be
|
|
fatal to her ego. That would show she waited for you to call. (You're
|
|
still the one who's interested in her, and that's the way she wants
|
|
it to be.) On the other hand, if she asks you, then her ego isn't that
|
|
large, and you can play it your way from here on. You're lucky.
|
|
Well, suppose she didn't ask. What do you do then? Real easy. Keep
|
|
doing it! Don't call her. Make her call you a couple of times (two
|
|
or three times is enough, the more the better though.) When you
|
|
notice (and you'll notice) she loses interest (and she will), do
|
|
something about it. Let her "win". One time. Yes, call her once (or
|
|
meet her, or something, whatever). But only once! Then go back and
|
|
play it safe. Just don't repeat this again, because then she'll
|
|
think she figured you out. Do something different, just don't let
|
|
her "win". Not yet. Don't call her. She'll call you. Go out with
|
|
someone, do stuff with other people, live your normal social life,
|
|
but without her, for a while, and tell her about it (if you're home
|
|
when she calls -hint hint-) Play it out for a while, and _don't_
|
|
let her win when you notice she's starting to lose interest. Not
|
|
this time.
|
|
|
|
We're well on our way to success now, and you don't want to fail,
|
|
do you? No, of course not. By this time, she's not sure of you
|
|
at all, and her ego has received a blow, small, but still a blow.
|
|
If she still calls you, she probably want to keep you as a
|
|
friend. So be her friend. Just _never ever_ let her win more
|
|
than once in a while if she continues to show you her large ego.
|
|
What I mean is, keep the distance. Even though you're friends,
|
|
don't let her think she's got control over you - then you have
|
|
to work twice as hard the next time (and probably lose her too).
|
|
|
|
This is only a game we play. People do this shit all over the
|
|
world. It's going on right now. And it _is_ only a game. She
|
|
probably doesn't want to be your friend after all of this, but
|
|
who cares, right? It's just life. There's a lot more to it than
|
|
wasting time on egos. What it all comes down to, though, is;
|
|
|
|
Friends shouldn't take advantage over each other, right? Good
|
|
friends share. Good friends can talk about everything. Good friends
|
|
have fun. You should be able to criticize a friend without a risk
|
|
of losing him/her. When you think you're able to do that with
|
|
someone, you're friends. Good friends are hard to find.
|
|
|
|
sometimes... it's wiser to settle for nothing
|
|
|
|
remember that.
|
|
|
|
Play your game well, and you'll win.
