Perfection Meets Disappointment
I received a funny comment from someone I’m not familiar with to this recent post on our annoying friends.
laane:
I wonder why you don’t tell them you feel you’re not the perfect fit as friends.
Are you afraid to disappoint them, or don’t you want to disappoint yourself for not being perfect?That they left the children eithout forewarning can be a good item to tell them they are behaving far too familiar and you feel they are crossing your boundaries. “Please don’t even come again.”
You have to…
(I did not make grammar corrections.)
You obviously have not read many of my posts. I’m pretty open on here to the fact that I am not perfect. I am also not afraid to disappoint our friends.
If you meant they are crossing the line by “behaving far too familiar” then yes they have. But I did say “Don’t get me wrong they are very nice people and would do anything for us...”
I forgive their faults and recognize they are just different. That is why we don’t talk on a consistent basis. The post itself was for humor because I know we aren’t the only people who have friends like this.
For me to tell them “Please don’t even come again” seems a little harsh at this point. But thanks for the advice I’ll file it away for the future. And maybe I’ll send the Mac’s your way.
get ‘em!
do you hear those horse hooves?
high horses again.
hi ho silver!
WTF!
Well, you could have send me a mail to straighten this out.
By no means my intention was to offend someone. Otherwise I just wouldn’t have reacted.
Sorry for my grammar mistakes. English is not my first language. At least I try.
This time I didn’t read again what I’d written.. I hope a native english reader can read the text anyway.
You are right, I didn’t read many of your posts.
The entry gave me the idea that even though you feel very forgiving, you also feel bothered by these people and you rather see them go than come.
Many people are having to deal with these matters and yes, sometimes it’s more honest to ask people not to come again, than make them feel over and over again they’re not a 100% welcome, after they have come to you full of enthousiasm.
Well, I came here full of enthousiasm too.
Instead of making me feel welcome you expose my mistakes and make a fool out of me.
Thanks for the comments… it’s always interesting people are the same online than they are offline.
