"I confess, I messed up, drop it, I'm sorry"
I was thinking about this today, how many times am I wrong? how many times have I not known what the hell I was talking about? Because, I mean, I know I'm not perfect, but, I am right sometimes. But sometimes, I'm just not.
It's confussing, I know, but I'm trying to say something. I just, dont know what.
Maybe I can parallel this with my wonderful Hannah Grace epifiny. Why dont we get along? I mean, does she enjoy provacting me? I wonder if she really thinks I like being rude to her.
Because I don't, it's not my goal to piss her off, I just, I always mess up and say something wrong, and then, it gets tense. I mean, I really do like her, I do, but, it's like running into a wall, over and over agian.
I'm very defense, and she's, very stubborn, and its hard to make a point with her without getting into the whole, "I'm an adult your the kid" critising, lecturing thing. I mean, god, she's MY aunt, I think I know her a hell of a lot better then you, and when I say she has problems, I'm not judgeing, maybe I'm askking you to pray for her. I know I'm not perfect. My eyes have been quite widened by that.
But, I think the main problem is, I feel like she's talking down to me, and I hate that. When I was younger, my parents always treated us like adults, and I'm pretty matured because of that, I mean, I do have my moments :]but still. I'm not as ignorant as she gives me credit for, and I'm not as smart as I give myself credit for.
Sometimes, I do know I'm talking about.
Also, I fight like an adult. I find my side, pull up my resonses, and I bring hell. I have the freakn IQ of a middle aged man! And, yes, I dont take crap from anyone.
And yes, when I'm truly and blantenly wrong, and I reliaze I said something wrong and I'll take critisim. I understand people are different and they think about things differently and I need to be consious of that. I get. Sometimes I dont think before I spaek. But, it's not her responsiblity to conor me and change everything wrong about me. When I say I;m sorry I shouldnt have said that, it's like shes not listening and she keeps on going. Word to wise: I dont grovel.
I get though, our personalities very much so collide. I just, I dont know how to approach this. Whenever I try to talk to her about something, she takes it the wrong way.
She's so hard to read, and I'm not used to that.
Maybe she enjoys our squables? Forminble foe. I just, I dont know. I know I'm venting, and maybe I'm being mean, I dont mean too, but, it's how I feel. I dont understand her. No matter how hard I try, I just, dig that hole deeper.
Maybe I'm to cocky, maybe it is my fault that I'm not as resectful as I should be. But, if she talks to us equals why shouldnt we respone as such? Maybe because I feel like shes not listening, maybe I'm not listening as hard as I should?
I do that sometimes, push people away. Wrong is wrong.
I'd like to know though, then I could fix it. Or, at least try to. I think it might be my fault. I just, I dont know. Did you know, we have never made her laugh? and she always gets offended when we laugh. Most of the time at how stupid we are. Like- nvm. Dont get me started.
Okay, so the parallel thing, Dawn and I were coming back from swim team and I reliazed, more then once, I said, "dont listen to me, I dont know what Im talking about" and Grant responed on the last one, "you never know what your talking about."
I mean, WTF. I know what I'm talking about little boy, I just, idk, catch myself when I'm telling something I don't have facts back up. Or something.
Does that make you wrong though? Does that make it wrong? I dont want people to think while I'm talking, "she doesnt know what she's talking about so whatever"
"I swear, I said"
I want to be accountable. I want people to trust what I say. I want to trust what I say. I don't like chasing after my mouth, regreting what I didn't say.
So, really, how many times is a cocky, overconfident, adolense wrong? Maybe it;s too numerous to count. Maybe its one of those ratios you dont want to know. Maybe its the perfect thing to work on for the new year.
