The Internet isn't here for your Problems

Usually I pick topics to write about that have nothing to do with anything of importance. Today is no exception to that rule, however, unlike on usual days in which I would write about some random article I found or some pathetic conversation I overheard, todays topic is about something more directly related to me. I say to me, but in truth, you all know someone who does just this. So, in a way, I suppose this blog is directly related to all of us.

We all have that friend who lives their life as if it's an emotional roller coaster. They fuck, they drink, they yell, they bitch, they complain, they cry (excessively), and they talk a lot of shit. In the end, they are usually the most fragile people on the face of the planet, acting tough to seem big when in truth they are so soft that one wrong word leads them to cry their eyes out in the confines of their bedroom. Really, if you think about it, it's sort of sad. But then, these types of people always bring what I'm about to say on themselves.

They have this obsession with letting everyone else know when they are pissed. They do it constantly, when they are in person they yell and pick fights, when they have friends around they talk shit behind peoples backs, and when no one is there to listen, they do the most pathetic thing of all and post their constant status on the internet. From away messages, to face book status changes, they are constantly updating their emotions, be it: "Pissed off" or "Hating you so much right now for what you did", they for some reason believe that the rest of the world cares even the slightest about their issues.

In truth, if they would just stop bitching for five minutes, maybe people would start caring. The reality of the situation is that even their closest friends end up rejecting their calls just to avoid another conversation about how their lives aren't perfect and why so-and-so did something that pissed them off.

If you are one of these people, or know one of these people, do the world a favour. Tell them to stop being who they are. The Internet is not a place for your problems, and more importantly, no one cares about them anyway.
