I thought, about a month ago, that I was/am an incredibly negative person and felt rather bad about it. I've since realized that I'm not all that negative when my anxiety is under control though...I realized this after noticing just how negative an online friend of mine is.

In short, he was/is in love with a woman he dated for two years...until she left him for another guy. Since then, he's been a mess. He's sad, he's mad, he wants to talk to her, I get her to talk to him, he blows it by being an ass, he wants a second chance, doubts he'll get one, is lonely, won't go out and meet anyone because he's shy, wants to talk about what happened, doesn't want to talk about what happened, wants me to say something, oops, I said the wrong thing, doesn't know what I should have said instead or wanted to hear one thing in particular and didn't and is now upset, etc. It just never stops and I'm not the type of person to tell people what they want to hear for the hell of it. It's stupid and tiring to keep up with peoples' shit, it's a lot easier, IMO, to just answer their questions truthfully. Do I think she's a great woman? No. For someone her age, she's acting incredibly childish. Do I think she's as amazing as he says she is? No, she's just a person like everyone else and is clealy flawed. Oh, and I also think she's a little off...

Most women don't want to date someone so negative and he's never going to get over her if he keeps thinking of her as this amazing, perfect woman. She's not anyways. She's 40 and dating kids our age. She's acting like a kid, too, she can't even face what she did. She cheated on a 20 year old with a 23 year old for months and didn't have the balls to say anything. And she has at least three names. She was born Stacy but goes by names like Willow and Adaya. WTF? I feel like I've just stepped into an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer...

And yet he doesn't want me to say anything bad about her so I guess that just means I'm supposed to agree with him. "Yeah, you're right, she was the perfect woman and you'll never find love again.", "No, I totally agree, this isn't the end, you'll find someone else when the time is right.", "Nope, she didn't do anything wrong.", "You're right, she'll probably never contact you again but everything she's done was perfectly okay, that doesn't reflect negatively on her at all.", etc.

Meh, I don't have time for this BS, I have so much stuff to take care of and so little time to do it in that it'd be insane for me to deal with this on the side. He's just someone I know online, I can stop talking to him whenever I want and I need a break from all the negativity and shit. I had less trouble with my breakup than this and he's supposed to be more stable than I am...
