If the title of this blog is offending anyone, I apologize, and if you are reading this and truly are bipolar, or have the tendencies to do so, then....I apologize in advance. I am only speaking of one particular person, whom I have worked with in the past for several years, and I put up with her crazy stories, lack of self control at times (i suffer from that as well), and everything else in between.
So why is this bothering me so much because I have been unfriended? Because the mental capacities of some people and the irrational decisions they make in a 'high' or 'low' point of their life should be questioned with a sane head before making those decisions.
It's okay-i'm rather glad I will not have to read her rants and raves about how she's having a horrible day, or how people don't know how to treat her right, etc...The truth of the matter is....YOU ARE CRAZY. I don't mean that in an offensive way-just a way that Yes, I acknowledge that you have your moments, I mean...don't we all???
Ask any one person who has worked with this woman. Yes, they would all agree the same. She gets off kilter sometimes. Do we spend our lunchtimes sitting around talking about her and nothing else? No. We spend 2 minutes remarking how insane her latest ranting and raving is, and move on. Why do we talk about it? Wouldn't you if someone spends their lunch break screaming in their vehicle at the top of their lungs?
I know that being bipolar is a chemical imbalance. I know that there are things they cannot sometimes control, but I also know a drama queen when I see one, and also one who will use excuses to ensure their craziness is okay to be that way.
I am no psychologist, I am not an expert on the human mind, although I like to think I am, but i am Faaaaaaaar from that.
Facebook. My parents did not have to deal with this when they were in their twenties. Unfriending a person just because you THINK they are saying something (because I am a firm believer in going straight to the source instead of dealing with triangulation), is immature, and while I am thankful (as previously mentioned) that I will no longer have to read her bitchy posts, I did write her a message letting her know how I felt about her actions.
That being said, I'm perhaps being a drama queen, but I like to think of myself as a good friend, and if i've opened up to you, and confided in you, I only want the same respect. I would not do this to you. I would not make it public to the whole world...but I retaliated so because...well...I thought there was enough 'good' in this person to be a little bit more mature.
Sigh, Sigh, tsk, tsk. I have friends who would not do this to me, and take the friendship I have to offer to a better level then she ever could. That being said, have a nice life and try not to kill anyone in the process. :)
P.s. If you are one of those great friends reading this, I just had to lift this off of my chest. ;)
