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

    Anger we cannot articulate.
    Apathy; we do not deliberate.

    Also wishing I had used the word apathy.

    anger is totally acceptable to have, but should be vented and not expressed loosely (in my opinion)

    I'm considering this aspect more in terms of whether it is better for a friend to be angry at you, or ambivalent towards you.

    That is hard to say. The ambivalence could just be passive aggressiveness.

    It could, or they could be hurt and unwilling to admit it.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen the voice thread maintain this much staying power before. Do i need to see what’s going on in there?

    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"!

    I like the nuance of the words acedia and ennui. They’re also fun to pronounce.

    Voice thread time?

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