Mindless Melodrama

Hi.

I am twenty two. Reserved. Social on occasions. I try to hold in my anger. When I can't.. I let it out by venting on my blog. Otherwise, I hate confrontations. Not that I don't have the guts to.. I just don't want to. It's a waste of time. I am a fairly quiet person most of the time and I hate the dramatic sensation of friendships and other relationships. This is my biggest pet peeve - I cannot deal with overtly emotional people.

The other day.. one of my friends asked me a question. She said, "I have seen you hang out with so and so.. and you are so talkative with them. And then I saw you with so and so and you guys barely talked." She was trying to figure out why I behaved differently with both groups I hung out with.

I fail to get along with people who get offended over everything. It is so easy to offend them that you've gotta think twice before you utter a WORD! That is why I try to back off and not get too involved with them. You never know what might offend them. Even a joke, perhaps? I cannot deal with that level of sensitivity. Do you guys remember those blogs I wrote about being indifferent? I think emotions are important. We should definitely share our problems and not bottle up inside. We should be able to emote what is important to our partners, family and friends but to a LIMIT.

You cannot make a melodrama out of every little situation that occurs in your life. I might be saying this for the millionth time but Libras love their peace and tranquility. At least, I do. I hate absorbing negative energy from others and disrupting my own emotional system. I know some people that over-react and over-exaggerate absolutely everything in their lives from their dry cleaners story to their bedroom lives.

I am not cold.. but I am slightly emotionally detached. I don't easily get emotional over random things that don't matter. I have been overtly emotional when I was going through puberty as a teenager. I was 16 and completely under the turbulence of my hormones. You can't blame me for that. But now.. we are grown women. I don't expect to see this now.

I had a hard time getting along with my Cancer man because it was too much emotion for me to handle. But over time, I guess he understood that I like emotionally stable people. Also.. it works to a certain extent when one person is emotional and the other one isn't. The problem with emotional people is - they are so wrapped up in their own emotions.. that they will fail to see what the other person in the situation is emoting. They always see their side of the story. Ex. "YOU didn't talk to me.. or YOU didn't do this etc." But they have no time to evaluate their own actions.

I am sorry if I come across as a rock in this post.. but I am really not. I've just formed strong opinions over the years about what I perceive to be "real" issues that require emoting. My "real" issue does not consist of.. "She didn't tag me in her Facebook status." 

Now.. this also goes on to say that no one is wrong. Every one deals with their emotions and life in a certain way. I am not calling them out on it. All I am saying is.. I struggle with such people and it's really hard for me to be around them for a long time. That's all.
