IN THE HOUSE AGAIN

I’m writing this blog as a fair warning to those of you who know anyone who has a tendency to top or overpower to avoid these people. Let’s just say that you’re having a laid-back conversation related to how you went somewhere or did something. As soon as you share your news, instead of the person being a supporter or being proud of what you did, they have to say or do something that makes it seem like they have done something bigger or better. Yeah yeah yeah, this blog sounds like my old blog about people who do this, but thanks to a few of my friends, & sitting back thinking about about it, I’ve learned that more females are guilty of doing this. Now now now, before you jump down my throat, I will share with you firsthand that this was a WOMAN who shared this valuable information with me. I will give three examples of this & you will see exactly what I mean. A few years ago, I ended up cutting off one of my relationships/friendships with a female friend of mine because she practically contradicted herself with no possibility of going against what she felt. We were sitting down talking about how I post blogs (like the ones you read today) & the first words out of her mouth was that she thought blogging was very secular and that the topics that are addressed in most blogs are pretty boring and stupid. Now, I had no problem with it @ first, because that’s her opinion, & I’m cool with that. A few years had passed, & our friendship was basically like a light switch (off & on), but when it was working (on), she decided to share some news that basically fell on a dead ear by sharing that she posts blogs FOR MONEY. Now, when she first said it, I got really pissed because of the simple fact that not long ago, she forgot all about how she was bashing me for writing, but because she’s doing it for money and it’s in her field of computers, it’s a whole different monster. It was funny when my birthday came up and she was making some sorta effort to send me an e-mail saying Happy Birthday, & that really fell on dead ears. What’s worse…this isn’t the first time she did this crap. I told her I had the G1…which for me was a lot, but she has to throw and gloat about how she has the iPhone and how it’s better. Now, I wasn’t saying that she wasn’t valid, but it’s like her timing was jacked. OK, I’m gonna get off this one person & jump into a few different scenarios to confirm what I’m saying and “somehow” try to cap this blog off lol. WARNING…this blog is a bit long, so please invest a few minutes towards this one. I got on BlackPlanet a few days ago to make light convo w/ this girl just to get to know her or whatever. The convo went a little sour due to other reasons, but we were talking about some things such as me sharing that I went to Italy when I was little. Now, I know that was a bit of a topper moment, but she felt she had to be topped by saying that she has been everywhere. Wait, I’m sorry, did I really say it so that you could brag about what you’ve done lol. I didn’t say it bragging…it was to just tell you about me and all. Then, the other day, this was the 3rd confirmation that SOME females have to seem like they have to do things bigger and better. I tell her that I’m gonna help one of my friends with Math (now I’m sharing that I’m helping her with the Math because I have knowledge in Math). This fool takes it as though I’m asking her to come over and tutor her like I don’t know what I’m doing. “I have knowledge in Math. I tutor kids in Math for RPS”. WHO CARES…LET ALONE WHO ASKED U? I know I’m being a bit picky and fine-combing this blog, but you can’t say that there’s a topper everywhere you go. Now, whenever I think of men who do it, the first one that comes to mind is one of the guys who does talk radio for Sports Illustrated. Someone could come along and make a statement, & he will follow up with some type of over the top story that doesn’t fit. Don’t think that I’m letting men off that easy. There are some guys who feel like they have to brag about how much they spent or how much they did or how much they can bench press. I just notice that women have a tendency to do it a little MORE. Now, if you don’t agree with me, BRING IT!!!!! I just want this one cleared up for me in every way possible. Just let the conversation flow naturally…no need trying to stand out or make your story look or seem bigger when NO ONE CARES. I know that may sound heartless, but no one wants to have someone who is making it their goal to just stand out in EVERY conversation. It’s not cool. If you want to state something that is unique to spark convo…good. Otherwise, shut up about how many cars you have (that aren’t fully paid for) or how many purses you have (that aren’t keeping the lights on) or how many video game systems you have (that aren’t even yours). In a nutshell…NO ONE CARES. The humble people stand out. If you don’t believe me, try it.
