Reflections on Friendships

What is a "friendship"? Friendships are balanced relationships. The relationship has to consist of the communicator and the listener. The roles will be exchanged in order for a friendship to exist.

When a person reaches out to talk to someone, that person has to reciprocate by listening at some point. When I am contacted by someone who whines, complaints, wail, groan and generally bitch non-stop that is a very toxic person. But it gets worse. When the habitual complainer goes as far as to call by phone that is very intrusive. When folks call by phone, it interrupts my free time, my me time and my time for relaxation.

Some folks have positioned themselves to bitch and complain so much that they get to the point that they will not be a listener when its their time to listen.

When I check my caller ID and recognize the complainers number, I no longer accept the call. If you cannot receive my calls or return my email with a note of support, but think they can call me, well that time has come to an end.

If you only call me for me to listen to you complain, bitch and whine about your life and work life, FORGET ABOUT IT. I no longer receive those calls. Do not call my home phone and do not call my cell phone.

Remember, friendships complementary, when I listen to you, then you in turn must listen to me. If not, forget about it.

What is wrong with folks? This issue is more extensive than I imagined! Last night, I was relaxing after a long busy work week. Someone called me who I had not chatted with for months. That person bitched and complained for about 30 minutes non-stop. Listen up bitch, I will not receive another call from you. Your shit is over.

What ever happened to nice friendly chats about the good things in life?

Folks, you all better look within and check yourself. Some of you are looking bad, REAL PATHETIC!

I am on top of your tricks. I will not fall for the "bait". Forget about leaving simple messages on my voice mail. Your simplistic game is to try and bait me to call you so that you can start wailing about your pathetic life. It aint happening! Your game is over.
