Downfall

 
I have always been considered bipolar because of my crazy mood swings and unpredictability but the truth is, my personality just falls into 2 principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient. And the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist. Though sometimes hiding the considerable depths of my character under a cloak of frivolity because I do not give myself easily- perhaps my judgment of human nature is too good for that.

I am strong-willed and have very strong convictions and I guess not many people can handle my rather patronizing nature. I can get forceful when I choose to be, and that's because I seek truth above all things, usually honest enough to change my opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades me that I have been mistaken.

Consequently I am prejudiced and tolerant of other people's points of view, even if I do not accept it myself, because I can see the validity of the argument.

I am always deemed and accounted cold but once I decide that someone is worthy of my friendship or love, I can become the most tenacious friend or lover respectively, ready to sacrifice everything for those I truly care about.

Recently, I have fallen out of what seemingly used to be a solid friendship which was as a result of a heated backlash thrown back and forth over something I do not wish to share. I guess I should partially take the blame for our downfall. I was disappointed emotionally because of my own high personal ideals which caused me to demand more of others than is reasonable. Or perhaps I was too unaccepting and quick to find faults. However, what further supported my decision to cut all ties was my strong stand on things and the fact that I would be unwilling to compromise my principles and associate myself with a hypocritical person who would say one thing but do the exact opposite.

She more than anyone should know that if I felt deceived, my anger is terrible. If disillusioned, I do not forgive.

In desperation to regain my attention, she presented herself anonymously on one of my social media sites and said among other things, "Continue feeling so highly of yourself. Someday you'll end up being at the losing end."

I have never met a bigger laughingstock in my whole entire 19 years of existence. Good job.
