Fake Friends: The Story Of My Life

Don't even get me started on how.

Fake Friends: The Story Of My Life
HuffPost

First off, let me start by saying in all my years of life, this last year has been the worst. I have never encountered so many fake people and friends. How one minute they’re right by your side and the next they’re gone without so much as a warning. How you thought the secrets you told them were just YOUR secrets, they weren’t meant for others and yet everyone seemed to know.

I’ve come across a lot, and normally I’m good at weeding them out. But this time, I didn’t get there in time. A lot of people will call me a hypocrite, they’ll probably call me fake, but what they think of me really doesn’t matter. What matters is why they’re fake, when you’re friends with someone, your lives kind of merge. Your days blend together with theirs and if you’re lucky, they become your best friend. You essentially become one person, and so you share secrets, things you’ve never told anyone. Or if you’re like me, you talk a lot of shit. Which I do, I can’t help it, but hey it’s better than actually going out and doing all the things you threaten to do.

When that person betrays you, it’s like a hole has been ripped into your chest, the place where they used to be and sometimes you don’t know how to deal with it so you lash out at anything and everyone. Which causes a lot more problems than it’s worth. I’ve come across many types of friends in my life and I can narrow it down to a few of the main ones.

1. Fake Friends:

This one is self-explanatory and it goes along with the title. They’re the friends who say one thing to your face and go behind your back and say another. They’re the worst kind but they’re also the hardest to pinpoint because let’s face it, you never really know what someone is saying about you until it’s too late and everyone knows.

2. Shit Talkers:

I hate to admit it, but I am classed in this friend group, I talk a lot of shit. However, I will walk right up to you and tell you the things that I’ve said. With me, you won’t have to find out from someone else because I’ll be the first to tell you. Regardless of the situation. Except my shit talking only tends to happen when I’m royally pissed off, can’t speak for others though.

3. Emotionally Unstable:

Again, this is me. I’m the over emotional friend and I’m always crying about something if I’m being honest. You could blow on my finger and I’ll start crying, I’m just that type of person. Literally everything upsets me. But these ones are also the best listeners because they know what it feels like to be right where you are right now. They’ve experienced it, they’ve felt your pain. They know.

Also, if you’re going to constantly make indirects about someone, be man enough to tag them in it and don’t try to justify your stupidity. It’s really hard to take you seriously and treat you like an adult when all you do is dumb, childish shit. But hey, if that’s how you wanna live your life then so be it, I’m not going to stop you.

Moral of the story is this: IF you’re going to be a childish, insolent chit. Don’t drag others into your drama because you’re bored. Or because you have nothing better to do, because I can assure you that they in fact do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
