So far...was never so close...

So, I've lost a friend today. Because I informed him of my view on a situation.

I'm sorry but, when you say you have a crush on someone, and you even acknowledge that this person has a disorder like autism, and then you start making fun of him behind his back because you got hurt...I don't think that's funny. I think that's a shitty thing to do

Sorry, to hear of this. I agree with your summation of 'Telling it like it is" and 'Real'! At times what I witness is completely at odds with what other people saw. That is why it is so hard to judge an accident/incident from 'Eyewitness' accounts. We all have our individual Universes that we are at the center of, it's how our senses work. Most of the time, they overlap in a way that we consen-sually agree to call the real world, but this is not necessarily a stable place.
Friendship involves a certain 'give and take', their are qualities that endear you to them, but other quirks that can annoy the heck out of you, If you want them as a friend, one must accept both sides. It sounds like this person could only accept one side of you. Too bad!

Anyone who spends their time advertising themselves as "no bullshit", "hates drama", "I can keep a secret!", "Real", "I would never cheat on you!" whatever the fuck etc etc... in all of my earthly adventures, has always turned out to be exactly what they say they aren't.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

In every instance in my existence on this planet the absolute diametrics of their acts to the words in their faceholes has been 100% accurate in blazing unabashed brutality. I have chosen (far too late in life, I must say) to consider any claim made to these statements as in reality a confession of them. I have also chosen to bring this up to those people, it has improved my interactions with them ever since. I would suggest this mode to anyone who has witnessed/been a victim of them.

Yes...I think you're correct. It's hard for me on this one because the person I'm referring to really does have some great qualities: he's very confident on the stage and in front of cameras in a variety of situations. THAT'S not easy! Especially doing comedy. He has a strong focus and determination in regards to this. As someone who would like to get back onstage but am, at least at this time, too chickenshit, I envy his talents.

But then...perhaps that's the rub. There is always a wall of the impersonal in a performance. To actually engage in a more intimate manner is probably his main weakness. So...I think you're right. He's anything BUT real. I think, perhaps he may be intimidated by what "real" actually entails. Or perhaps he's ONLY "real" when he's in control.

So now...I have a question for you, Joel. Do you see anything like that in ME? Do I claim anything that you see the precise opposite of, any hypocrisy or self-contradiction? Please be honest.
