Seriously people, wake up and smell the coffee! Shh...hallo.
Feel the need to be pretentious every damn day of your life? You might be living by one/all of these philosophies:
1. Just fit in, no matter what.
2. I'm a people pleaser.
3. Everybody has to love me or I'm dead.
4. I'm great and you're not.Period.
5. I can't survive without these people.
6. A king can't rule without his subjects.
7. Am i the only cool person here?
8. OMFG! Did anyone see me do that?
9. All the cool people are flunking, so wht the heck?
10. Honesty is SO NOT the best policy!
Feel like you are superior and you don't give a crap about how other people might feel? Then these are your words of wisdom:
1. I'm doing it because I can.
2. Fuck you people. Fuck the world.
3. No one understands me, i'm too unique.
4. It's my way or the highway.
5. I don't affect you, you don't affect me.
6. Ahh, I just don't give a rat's ass.
7. Ask me if I care?
8. So?
These are the two shitty aspects in life that get us all bunged up. We bang into each other's lives pretending not to care OR pretending to care but in fact we're doing so much more than that.
Acting like something matters to you like your life depends on it only really works in the event that you're life actually DOES depend on it.
And pretending that something doesn't matter at all only proves that you are too selfish and that big of a chicken shit to announce to people that you actually do care and you actually do give a crap about what happens. In any matter, going out of your way to prove stuff to yourself and other people just shows that your not being true to number one, to yourself...the one who REALLY matters.
So there, do you really care or are you such a loser that you have to pretend to care (it makes you feel a part of something big, and it feels good dunit?), or do you actually give a shit and you make sure people don't know that coz then your weaknesses would be exposed. (we can't have that now, can we?)
In any case, both of these aspects are of the same nature. Both require you to PRETEND. to not be who you really are. and that. is. just. too. fucking. sad.
So, if either of you think you're above the other, you're dead wrong. it takes one pretentious idiot to recognize another and that's that.
We all do it from time to time. But the real question is, how far would you go to prove it?
