Do it Cakey.....do it, do it....and while you're at it post for us, pretty please!!
btw, I know you don't watch TV but the "do it, do it" is from the 12 Monkeys TV show...its the "crazy girl" who sees the future (and maybe the the past, don't remember)...her saying it in the show is so intense, I hear it in my head when I try to passive aggressively "peer pressure people to do what I want them to"!

Apathy is poison to the mind and anger can make your judgement blind.4 -

Anger we cannot articulate.
Apathy; we do not deliberate.
Also wishing I had used the word apathy.0 -

That is hard to say. The ambivalence could just be passive aggressiveness.
It could, or they could be hurt and unwilling to admit it.0 -

With apathy being lack of interest or concern... I'd rather someone I care for be angry with me. Anger can be worked through... with apathy, there is nothing to work through.6 -
I would find it acceptable for a friend to be angry or ambivalent towards me, but I would like to know the reasoning of it. Feedback is good. If there's absolutely no feedback, I will start to suspect that it's a problem with them.Bullet_with_Butterfly_Wings wrote: »RhiAnLewis17 wrote: »

I agree, I feel that with apathy or ambivalence, the lack of feedback indicates a disinterest in the continuance of a friendship.
I would rather someone be angry at me, at least it means they care. Apathy means they don't care, at which point I've wasted energy investing in a friendship.
Although apathy could also be falsified in an effort to preserve dignity.0 -

A friend, who previously I would speak to everyday. Now it's occasional and... Sterile, I suppose.2 -

Maybe they do care but are going through something. Sometimes I feel that people want their space. There was a time where my friend would not reply to any of my messages and in the end, I thought that I just need to keep my distance for a while. Maybe the friendship is over, but maybe it's paused. They way I think about it is "people don't always have time for me" it's sad to accept, but I think that's the way we are. Maybe just ignore her for a while and see.RhiAnLewis17 wrote: »I would rather someone be angry at me, at least it means they care.

Maybe it is just paused, maybe I did something they found unforgivable. Closure is always appreciated, but this could be selfish of me if they are going through stuff that I am unaware of. I have offered myself as someone for them to speak to if they need. Mostly it's just concern for them, or that I have upset them.0 -

People move on sometimes. That sounds cold but it’s the brutal reality. It could just be nostalgia obscuring everything. I have friends that will always be friends even if we only see each other like once a year even. You have so many paths you can take moving forward in this life, so don’t keep looking back because you might miss something that could have been... something.3 -

Lololol!!
Vikkasplained is a whole nother can of worms...I'll try to not take it there, too much, 'cause I love you all!
I have my own language, 'cause why not!?
And for the record, I missed all the Hank stuff...over my head, don't get it at all, was MIA perhaps!
She's "Cakey" or, "cake-hole" to me (my loving nicknames for her awesomeness)2 -

I always liked the phrase about glass hurting you more when you grip too tightly. Sometimes the only choice we have is to accept and move on, but it's still a choice.1 -
