Crooning on my STEREO: Kiss Me by CANARY I am back from slogging in Bangkok. A friend and I were discussing the touchy issue of toxic friends and we compared notes on some generic whining sessions that we had to endure from girlfriends.
Of course, girl emo sessions can be forgiven as mere PMS attacks.
But when it becomes a HABIT, boy, we have to jump the bridge.
Read on and tell me if this sounds familiar to you:-
Girl: I am so depressed.
Me: Why?
Girl: I am so ugly.
Me: But you are fine. Why do you say this?
Me thinks: I hate to sing unnecessary praises at unnecessary times. But when you have a sobbing friend on the other line, this should be the most appropriate thing to say to stop her from downing Baygon.
Girl: Nobody likes me.....
Me: Oh no no... dont say that...
Me thinks: I have just been insulted.
Translate: SHE IS SAYING THAT YOU DONT LOVE HER. SHE IS TELLING YOU THAT THE WORLD, including your baby brother, IS PLOTTING EVIL AGAINST HER.
To put this into perspective, why does a sobbing fool have to call you if she knows that you wont give two hoots about her sorrows?
Girl: You know, no boys will ever like me. Because I am UGLY. Nobody ever looks at me. I will never have a boyfriend ...etc etc...
Me: Thats not true... you will never die a spinster.
Me thinks: Lord help me. Why do you chicks delude yourselves into thinking that life is all about finding a dude?
Girl: I don't know why boys do not like me...
Me: Ermmmmm
Me thinks: Well, you know the answer. You just said that YOU ARE UGLY;
Girl: I mean, you will never understand.... you have a guy and all. And I have nobody....
Me: Yeah, of course I know that I am fortunate.
Me thinks: Of course I don't understand you. If a shitfaced bitch like me has done good for myself, any specie without a dick can do the same. Woman, stop whining and just put in some effort.
Girl: But the guys here are useless. They will never appreciate me...
Me: Maybe it is in their culture... some sort of trend going for anorexic pan-asian chicks...
Me thinks: No matter how hideous you are, it is highly easy to get a caucasian fling if you are not choosy. You know those balding men at Beach club? Or head to an obscure town in Greece and the local boys will drool over your exotic-ness.
Malaysian dudes aren't so bad. Yes, there is the shallow bastardy 70% lot. But there is also the humble lot. Give them a chance. The ones who avoid you are the ones who probably sensed your desperation. They are not stupid, y'know.
Girl: Sigh.. I don't know anymore...
Me: Just rest and you will be okay.
Me thinks: You have nothing more to whine about. So shut up. And this will give me a break from being overly condescending.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
STOP COMPLAINING. BE THANKFUL THAT YOU ARE NOT DEFORMED.
Jeez.
