Memememe

It took me a while to decide to do this, due to all the drama surrounding this particular meme that seems to bring out the most brutal honesty in people, But I've decided to do...

The Honesty Meme

Why? Because, as stated, it seems to bring out the absolute brutal honesty in people, and I think it's good to know how their friends and acquaintances feel beneath the surface. I don't do "What do you think/feel/like/dislike about me" things often, but when a good one comes along... I guess I get curious and slightly masochistic.

I'm not a hypocrite, so I'll say now - I'm not asking/hoping for "You're awesome, Jai!" posts here. If you honestly feel that way, fine XD But all I really want is honesty. Say something you like or dislike about me. Tell me something. Tell others something about me. Rip me apart if you want. I need it if I'm to become a better person. Do it under a complete cloak of anonymity, and I won't think any less of you ;)

Basically, BRING IT ON! XD

Edit: The replies are supposed to go in the meme, which is linked above, not as comments to this post :P But I suppose it doesn't really matter too much.

Edit 2: Comments are full, I see. Thanks for posting here, then XD Guess that works too! n.n

You drive me crazy. Sometimes I feel like I need to control everything that you do in order to keep you from setting yourself up to get hurt. I wish that you could be a little more perceptive sometimes.

But you also make me feel special and important, and we always have fun. Even though you never make the first move when we chat and probably never will :P I've learned how you work. And I still love ya. ^^

I'm sorry if I lack perception sometimes. Sometimes I'm just an airhead, and you need to tell it to me straight if I miss something important or if I do something that's annoying.

But I'm glad I can make you feel happy... that's always a bonus. And I'll try to make more effort with initialising conversation. It's something I'm bad at, I know.

Thank you for this comment ^^

Not like you can't just check anonymous poster's IP's and compare them, BUT OH WELL.

You like some things I like, that helps. Sometimes, you're all happy-bouncy-fun to talk to. Maybe it's just my personal paranoia of thinking I bother people, but I sometimes feel like I annoy you and that you don't want to talk to me. Also, maybe it's just some of the stress you've been having in life lately, but I think you take things too seriously sometimes and are mean in situations that aren't necessary to be mean in.

::Nods:: I've been kinda moody and snippy lately, and for that I apologise. I also know I can be anal-retentive, especially during times of stress, such as lately. Mind you, that's not an excuse, and I'm sorry if I've come across as moody or distant lately. It's not personal. It's just me being a stressy jerk, and I'll try to fix that.

Thanks for this comment, I'll bear it in mind ^^

post the link goes too is already at it's maximum comments.
It will not allow anymore comments, so no matter how much you'd want it they can't comment there.

So.....posting here is the only other alternative =p

Gotcha ^^;

What above user said, the meme reached max comments so here I must reply.

There are times where I love you to death as a friend, and there are others I can't stand to be around you. I know it's not your style but I wish you could IM me just to say every once in a while because it seems so rare now that we chat. That's all, just to show you care ya know? You give off the impression at times you don't care or could care less and then throw an emo post at us making us have to come back to you for attention. Drives me insane. Also, I think on certain issues you can be as thick as a brick that may lead to an overblown argument.

All that aside, when you're happy and enjoyable to be around, there are very few as caring as you can be. You're a great person, no doubt, and I wish I could see you like this more often. Just please, a spoonful of less emo helps the medicine go down ^_~

Thanks for this comment n.n It's helpful and fair.

I guess I'm a little surprised at the 'emo post' thing, but in retrospect I know I vent sometimes, maybe more often than I should. But please don't feel that you have to "come back to [me] for attention". I don't want that burden of my friends. I'm not an attention-seeker - or at least, I REALLY don't intend to come off that way. If I make an 'emo' post, please don't coddle me... just say "Stop being emo". Tell it to me straight. I don't want to be a hypocrite.

But seriously, thanks for the heads-up. I'd also like to know what issues you feel I'm 'thick as a brick' about... so I can educate myself and not be a thicko. (By the way, the saying is "couldn't care less", not "could care less"... pet peeve :P).

And lastly, sorry for seeming so unavailable or uncaring at times. This seems to be a recurring theme with these comments, and it saddens me to think that I give off that vibe. I'll try harder. I think me leaving my AIM on all the time is part of the problem. I kinda... forget that it's running while I go on the phone and do other stuff. Very bad habit.

Again, thanks for the reply :)

One thing though that I do want to mention. Your positives definitely outweigh your negatives. Just wanted to clarify that point. And thanks for the pointer on "could care less," I didn't know that was the saying ::jots down for future use::

I understand your point with the venting, and it is your journal and you're entitled to do what you want. However, I'll be honest, I'm too nervous to just flat out say "Stop being emo" because you may take it to heart and get upset over it. That's a problem we have, I have to be cautious in what I say when in reality I don't want to be necessarily. If you want me to be more deliberate I will, but again I do worry that it may come back to bite me.

Hard for me to say without giving away who I am about what issues in particular. Sometimes it just comes across that what you believe in is reality or should be and what I may view or another may view is untrue. I know you don't think this way but it can be perceived by someone that your viewpoint is more in a sense "superior." It's not a common thing to see but has popped up here and there. Hopefully I made some sense in this, I apologize if I haven't.

I didn't know though about the AIM, that makes a lot of sense. My advice would be to just reply back saying something like "Sorry I missed your message while I was away, talk to you later" because I never get that and it looks like my messages are just ignored. Thanks, I appreciate it and I'm sure others will too.

Well, you've pretty much said "Stop being emo" in your initial reply anyway, and to be honest, I appreciate it ^^ Also, I know I can sometimes phrase things in a way that seem uncompromising, making it seem like my beliefs are inherantly the most valid... but I really really don't mean to do that. I kinda pride myself on being open and accepting of all points of view, so if I come across as acting 'superior' about my opinions, I'm sorry.

I'd actually very much like to know who you are, and on what issues you feel we clash/that I'm 'thick as a brick' on/that I act superior about, so that we can talk it through... but if you don't want to reveal yourself, I'll respect that ^^

Thanks again for taking the time to tell me all this.

It seems quite the common comment you'd expect, but you are a pretty awesome person. I'd have to say there's very little about you I'd say anything negative about, if anything at all. Although sometimes your sad posts kind of lead me into a bit of depression as well, any of your happy, cheerful or just general posts (particularly if you say something funny) just seem to be able to lift my spirits when I'm feeling down, and that's a real mammoth task to do.

I enjoy reading about other people's lives, and yours is no exception, my friend. I don't know why, but I find seeing what other people in other parts of the world (or the country) get up to in their daily lives.

If anything, I see you as a good friend, despite not really chatting to you much.

Thanks for this ^^ It always feels good to know that I can lift someone's spirits. I wonder why we don't talk much... but I'm glad you consider me a good friend, whoever you are :)
