I'm one of these people that isn't great at expressing my emotions. This also means I'm great at handling other people's emotions. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it can create some incredibly awkward situations. Here are things you can understand if you're not a sappy person.
1. You would never tag your best friend or boyfriend in cutesy things on the internet
Something about tagging you in this open letter just feels...weird.
2. You never know how to sign birthday/going away/congrats cards.
Everyone usually writes paragraphs. I usually stick to "happy bday."
3. Sometimes you can't tell if you're being overly honest.
I don't mean to be blunt. Call it word vomit, but I can't help it.
4. Pet names kinda freak you out.
If you call me honey, I might cringe.
5. When you see a friend for the first time in a while (such as after summer break) you avoid the screaming and hugging.
I'll turn around and walk the other direction. Don't do it.
6. PDA isn't really your thing.
Call me old fashioned...but we can do that at home.
7. You never know what to do with a friend who's crying...especially if they're drunk.
It's incredibly awkward.
8. Serious situations are usually accompanied by jokes.
9. You understand that every romantic comedy is the same.
And awful. They're all just awful
10. You never know what to do with a compliment.
Not because you don't know how to accept them, but because you know you're supposed to say something nice back.
11. Your friends don't go to you for dating advice, because they know you won't tell them what they want to hear.
He sucks. Done and done.
12. People often assume you're a bitch.
I'm kind of an acquired taste.
13. But no matter what, you know you'll always be loyal to your friends and tell them the truth.
Sorry not sorry.
