“Why I stopped talking to my friends.”
I don’t meet a lot of my old friends, not because I have
anything against them. I just don’t feel like to have conversation with them, I
don’t know if you guys have ever noticed but you know there are some people who
always brags about what they’ve achieved when they talk to you. They ask about
you and when they find that you are not doing something that they think is
worth appreciating, they degrade you. Their conversation mostly revolves around
Job, marriage, accumulating wealth, comparing one’s property to others, girls,
drinks and boasting about their success, they try to project themselves as
superior one can understand this by their tone and the way they speak and it’s
so hard to maintain a deep and intimate conversation with them. When I’m with them I expect an intimate
conversation and all I get is their shallow side, I want them to come off as a
friend and not as an opportunistic person. I want us to hang out like the old
times without thinking that anyone among us is inferior on any level. I want
them to ask me how I am feeling and not about how much money I’m making and
deep down I know why people ask about your job or position, it’s their way to
measure your status. If they find you earning more than them they’ll expect you
find a post in your office and if you don’t earn as much as they do then
they’ll try to make you feel that you are inferior to them and it’s just not
about my friends I’m also talking about my acquaintances.
Sometimes they call me and ask me why I don’t call or meet
them anymore and trust me I don’t have the exact answer as to what to say to
them. It’s just I am not a fan of shallow conversation and I don’t even like to
boast my knowledge or achievements. I’m not even jealous of anyone’s success
I’m way over that it doesn’t bother me at all. If they’re doing better than me
I’ll clap for them and if they are not doing as much as I do then I’ll pray for
them. But I’m not the person who’ll remain friends with people knowing that I
don’t really like their company and I’m not even a person who maintain a
friendship just for the sake of ulterior benefits/motive. I don’t measure
people by their success and positions but they do and all I can do is laugh at
this. From a younger age I learned to be
alone and I’m not afraid to that I’m the one who look for quality than
quantity. There are many more things to say but the word limit here stops me
from spilling out everything all I can say is I’ll tell you when we meet in person
and I’m guaranteeing you that would be a deep conversation that I always long
for.
