This is life's hard truth, people...

Sometimes, you try your best to convince yourself to not do a certain thing, write about it, tell yourself that you will regret it, chalk out specifically why you shouldn't do the aforementioned, ask about 2 friends to remind you to not do it because you don't trust yourself, talk to yourself and completely ignore the risk of sounding like a weirdo to people around you.......

And you will still do it, if you want to.

Moral of the story- try convincing yourself that you Don't want to do it next time. Although i might warn you, it doesn't work. You'll just end up learning the hard way. So I've just decided to tell anyone who questions that I would rather regret doing what I did, than knowing I didn't do it even though I really wanted to.

P.s- Although I didn't regret, I did it but i made sure I didn't regret.

P.p.s- Damn it, I wanted this post to be short and sweet.

P.p.p.s- Still sweet, no?

"..talk to yourself"

Oh! My God. Pugsie, if you are real take Swetha to a good psychatrist.

P.S. Kidding.

I think the reason why you do is precisely because you do all those efforts to make sure that you don't do it.
I don't know if that made sense.

why do you have to complicate things so much for yourself? if i want to do something, i'll just do it... and more often than not, i'll end up looking like an idiot for having done it... and that's not new to me...

but i don't know if you have low self-esteem like me, so i wouldn't advise you on such things... actually, i shouldn't advise people on anything, did i tell you i have low self-esteem? :P

OK: Up yours.

Drenched: Yeah, you made perfect sense. I have to stop giving importance to un-necessary things.

V: Ok would recognise this.. I have a fluctuating sense fo self esteem, so ultimately It is about doing what you want... and worrying about consequences later, especially since its so fucking unimportant!

Bring on the beer.

Ask my friends. They'd tell u. I NEVER listen. Like almost NEVER. I'd turn to them for help, cry, make a scene and expect attention, they'd temme what to do, I'll convince myself that's the right thing, but I'd go ahead and do it the way i wanted to anyway...Some skewed satisfaction in doing what u want and regretting it later on...

P.S: Can we make it tequila instead?

S said...

Exactly. Its so scary, sometimes I think I won't tell my friends only... But you can't do that no :)
Sure, bring it on !

Preeti said...

I've thought of that...not telling them...but that's the thing with the darn friends...they'd smell it out...and also that i cnt hide anything for nuts :-/

Date and time please :D

S said...

Preeti said...

*sigh*..whaajjja do?...what did i fail to sniff out??...

and ok- i resent not being considered real...

S said...

Initiated convo...not with Magnetron... With the other smart ass. The one who uses big words? It was a big deal becoz he didnt respond to my last "hi" and I said it again. No idea why.

Samster said...

the crumpled leaf ass?..ohh...
probably figuring out a fancy way to say hello...nothing less than 5 words per second would do right...we should put him and O*** in a room...i think crumpled leaf would crack...mwahaha..*evil laugh*
