There you are, with a smile at the ready. Ready to please whoever you meet. But why? You don't even know these people. And you never will. They will never know who you really are or care about you anymore than they already do. So why so much effort? What's the point in trying so be so friendly to everyone you meet? It's beyond common politeness. It's not just saying hello and then going about your business. Its more than that. Yet you kid yourself and say its nothing.
Its a simple truth: you can't be friends with everyone. Proven time and again, there will only ever be a small circle of people in your life who truly care about you. Therefore wouldn't it make sense to make those people your priority? Hmm. Guess not. I guess its more important to make false friendships just so at the end of the day you can look in the mirror and tell yourself, "I'm such a nice, friendly person. Everybody likes me."
This type of condition is not usually presented in dramatic fashion and yet so easy to point out. The strong need for constant reassurance and support. You'll look anywhere to find it. Especially when so recently subjected to crawling out of such a vulnerable state of mind.
Any amount of friendships worth having is a figure that is small in number. I thought that was common knowledge. Not to say one can't be polite, and if that's what you're taking from this then you missed the point entirely and you can stop reading.
The message is: stop pretending. Its that simple. Don't put social acceptance so high on your list of priorities that you push the important people in your life away. You can't have both. You can't be friends with everyone AND have close, personal, real relationships with people.
The best part, is I'm viewed as a pessimist for this outlook. What a joke. It's how it fucking is. Get over it and get over yourself.
I've seen it proven over and over again. And I will never trust those kind of people, socialites.
