Hahaha... February 16 Feeling Left OutI felt one thing today, one thing that I've never felt before in my entire life (I'm lying, but this time, I'm more aware of it now), that is, feeling left out in a group of friends. Interesting, eh?
My economic and music classes are fun, but somehow, I felt this distinctive feeling of isolation. They're all friends; I believe people aren't strangers, just friends we haven't met. I mean, people there are sociable, witty and nice, but the thing is, they don't give you the feeling of approachability when they're in their 'gang'. It makes it harder to know them and penetrate into their true character. When people are in a group, they tend to act differently rather than just them alone. When you approach someone individually, like one-on-one, they can be even friendlier than you've imagined. Or they can be the total opposite; depends on the person.
Another feeling is incompetency (I'm not sure if I've spelt it right). I finally experienced how it felt being the teacher. When you goofed up a little, like mispelled a word on the board or asked a really stupid question, the kids would give you the 'look'. Come on, please. Teachers are just as human as you are. There is a favourite and traditional saying that goes, 'to err is human'.
Although I know mentors, leaders and teachers should know their stuff and what they're suppose to do next (like planned every next action), you don't expect them to have enormous, perfect memories. Yes, they do fumble in public, but less often, because they know people would judge them from their 'wrongdoings' rather than remember their achievements they had so far. Poeple always think of how other people 'arsed' than how high they've gone so far.
Seventh form is the year to be serious, responsible and concise. But I believe it's also the year to loosen those clasped fingers (I assume praying for exam results :P) and breeze through the fun times. The last ever of high school before we embark on another journey to a whole new dimension - university.
February 09 "That's Your Problem"My junior said it to me, "That's your problem." (when I told him I didn't have lunch)
That got me thinking about the world at large. It is true that human beings or rather people have self-centered attitudes, like it isn't enough that the advertisements/media are reminding us about it every time they're selling a fancy product. Well, people to tend to gravitate to the next-best-thing that benefits them. That is an ingrained huma behavior, and a fact.
Some would disagree vehemently with what I said, because they know very selfless people (although I wouldn't put 'very selfless' together; that would be a lie). But yes, some people show more consideration than others, and they are much more attuned to what other's are feeling above what they're feeling. That is a very wonderful quality to have -empathy. Although kindness are sometimes being taken for granted, and if you really want at least a word of thanks, ask for it. Not point-blank, just start of with 'I'm glad I did <this> for you." Who knows? You might get a praise, even more than a 'thank you'. :)
I absolutely hate people who use words to make fun of other people. Jokingly is alright, provided the other person feels the same (e.g. ain't overly-sensitive). And what I don't like is when a person tells you, "That's your problem.", if say you told him, "Oh gosh, I feel guilty today for yelling at him." If the listener tells you that that's your 'problem', he/she is not going to agree with you and try to comfort you. Rant elsewhere.
Even worse is when you tell a friend, "I'm fat." and she says, "That's your problem.", that is so gonna wipe away your self-esteem. Especially coming from a friend. Perhaps it is. Perhaps you should confide your worries to another more considerate friend if you know this friend is the blunt and brutally honest kind. If you're looking for sympathy, know where to find it. But don't overdo the theatrics. |
