Why should people care?

Hey all,

Those who trap me in their cage, for them, I will never change.

So, it’s pretty late. Today was yet another Lazy day, in which I got a guitar to finally practice on, thought then realised just how difficult learning it was going to be. But, let’s leave that for another post, maybe when I can actually hold a note before screaming out in anger and shouting at the instrument as if it can hear me.

Topic for today’s post is pretty simple, ‘Why should people care?’ Well, a simple definition could be ‘Because they should’ but I’m not looking at that aspect, I’m talking about privacy and such. For example, say you do something embarrassing in a small group, which is funny to everyone but you (believe me, been there, done that), you don’t want anyone else to know right? Well tough shit. Because they’ll find out, they always do one way or another. People always find out. But why should they care right? Well, a simple definition to that question would be ‘So they have someone to laugh at.’ And why is that you ask? Because people don’t care how you feel. It’s Ironic really. They care about what you do, just not how you feel.

It’s these species of people, like in my previous blog post, that just want attention. And believe me, I’ve done it before, I’ve been one of these people. But believe me when I say I’ve regretted it, watching that poor kids face as people surround him, cackling as they recite the embarrassing thing he did. But I was too scared to do anything about it, and I always have been. But, as you readers know, I’m trying to change.

So, what do you do if you’re stuck in this situation? It’s an easy and confidence boosting method really, and I’m currently using it. Basically, you just ignore them. I know, I know, ignore it and it goes away. Not true really. People just seem determined to make you pay attention, and will go around doing it in numerous ways. In truth, the only way you can beat these kind off people is by stretching your confidence, standing up and shouting ‘I don’t give a flying monkeys about what you say, what you think or what you’re going to do.’

God, it sounds like some advice column for crying out loud. You see, I’m just ranting about the fact that people only seem to care when it’s entertaining for themselves, and when it digs you in the stomach. I’ve been through and know people who’ve been through this, and in all honestly, there was minimum harm. All in all, it probably helped them in some strange way. But hey, I’m not finished just yet, so keep reading please.

Also, a friend was telling me a while back about people who only seem to care when they want to know what’s happening. This, my good readers, is all about your instincts. Say you’re in a foul mood, and someone you know and/or trust walks up to you asking ‘what’s up buddy?’ I would probably turn around and tell them what my problem was. But if someone who doesn’t really take notice in you from time to time walks up to you and asks the same thing, I, and many other people would turn around and just tell him to ‘Walk the hell away before I hurt you in places you didn’t even know you had.’ Though, sometimes it isn’t as easy as that. Sometimes you have to judge them in a matter of seconds, and you could either make a right decision or make a horrible wrong one. That’s what life is all about though right? Taking risks.

Well, that’s all from me tonight Bloggers. I’ll speak to you guys later on this week.

Yours,

Tom. F
