how to make enemies and annoy the fuck out of people
i met the poster boy for the "I'm Always Right" movement.
he was a phd candidate, studying chemistry. people told him he was smart, and funny.
and that he's always right.
and we know what happens to people who are always right.
well, they just don't get along very well with others.
my therapist told me that there are 3 essential components to a lasting relationship:
1. the couple are each other's best friends
2. they always share responsibility, no matter what it is
3. they accept that there are some parts of the other person that will never change
i don't feel bad. i cut it off for good, and removed him from every aspect of my life, including my cell phone, my myspace, my gmail chat list. i deleted all his text messages, and emails. i'm blocking him in every way manageable. he's removed from the evite for next saturday.
i actually get the strange impression that he's borderline psychotic, perhaps a bit paranoid schizophrenic, so, the sooner we exorcise, the better.
he didn't like that i chewed gum.
he didn't like being affectionate in public.
he didn't like me talking about him to my friends.
he didn't like how cold/defensive i got when he unleashed Mr. Hyde on me.
he didn't show any concern when i felt sick at the film festival.
he didn't take responsibility for anything.
one of the last things he said to me, in perfect self-righteous form:
"despite how educational it is when you teach me like this, it's not what i'd want to talk to you about"
good bye!
