It’s been a while since I blogged. It just doesn’t provide the therapy it used to. I’m looking at more effective methods now. I also considered making this blog private because uncouth readers are cause of uncouth comments.
Speaking of uncouth, are first impressions really not that important anymore? Some argue that first impressions don’t provide adequate evidence to judge a person. But when it’s a bad first impression, what makes people want to stay around to find out anyway? I often forget that I’m not just me anymore. I’m part of another, he’s a part of me, and the image comes as a whole. The looks that he got, and then the subsequent looks that I got made me feel like the fool that he was portraying.
I also forgot that he doesn’t know what my choice friends are like because I wasn’t allowed to have friends until now. I guess it’s understandable that he just thought he can talk to them like his own friends. He told me he was never taught manners, and that he was only taught to succeed. Manners aren’t what fork to use on what dish; it’s knowing how to act, when and where. Apparently that’s not something of common sense. So the resolution is that I have to prime/ cue him ahead of time. Tell him specifically how to act. I had to accept this as a solution, but I woke up this morning feeling depressingly disappointed. Since when did I have to train a 20 year old man?
