If I’m a sarcastic asshole when I talk to you, it’s either because I really like you and feel comfortable teasing you, or I really hate you and don’t care if you know it. Good luck figuring out which one.
Today I got my fifth,"I'm sorry" message. I don't know what the hell is going on. Suddenly the punk that was once a part of my life has decided to temporarily grow a conscience. Now this isn't the first time he's attempted to do something like this. It's as empty as his head and heart if truth be told. Long ago and in a far away land I was as big a fool as my shapely ass. Today however I am far bolder, wiser, and self assured. The Punk, he's a manchild with anger issues and an abusive streak a mile wide. When called out on his abusive nature the Punk likes to play the victim, when confronted face to face he likes to threaten with physical violence and horrifically vulgar language. It's a tedious as it is pathetic. He would see this post as an insult, while I firmly stand by the fact that I am simply describing him in accurate detail.
I just think it'd be nice if there were no need for these surprise "I've been such a shit, and I miss you" messages. If maybe we all valued each other a bit more, and you know if he would accept that he needs to get actual help in taking responsibility for his abusive nature. I am however not the person to help him with that particular issue. I couldn't care less if he died screaming. Yes, people screw up. People do the wrong things. However not taking responsibility for your bad behaviour and seeking to actually change said behaviour, then turn around six months to a year later with,"Hope [you] will forgive [me] and don't hate [me] I miss you". Of course his version of the aforementioned apology also includes, "Do you miss me and my huge ....? I'm sorry for the things I said but you made me..."
It makes me want to write back and say, "Forgive you?, nope. I do forgive myself for being such a twit and ever having given you the time of day. Lesson learned, you are still a goof and I'm not going another round." Then I remember the promise I made to myself of never, not ever going down that road again and simply blocked his damn number.
When in doubt of how to respond, remember the rule: "Don't feed the monkeys. They'll only throw shit at you for it."
