i've always been in the belief that people usually show themselves not in their words, but by their actions. or lack of it.
commitment, or lack of it. if you can commit to something small, you can probably commit to the important stuff.
imagine this: you tell someone you'll meet them at so-and-so at this time, and you don't do it.
then, failing to realize that you were past the designated time, you send a reply to a barrage of where-are-you's.
you reply with "i'm watching excorcist on dvd, i'm not dressed yet."
when the other party is intentionally ignores you after you show up almost two hours later, you send your arsenal of calls and text messages. both styles ignored.
"where are you?" "sorry na." and you send it repeatedly, hoping to force that person to realize that you were being gracious by apologizing and forcing him to accept your "cute" way of doing so.
you write it, hoping that he thinks it's sincere.
you write it this way, sending him the subconscious message that everything was his fault, and you are the innocent victim.
what does it say about you? if you failed to respect a person's time and effort, wouldn't that make you disrespectful?
and you wonder why people don't really care for you much, if at all.
your stock has plummeted so much, it has to be mined. it barely made the stock market in the first place.
and yet, you still wonder why people avoid you.
