Real vs. Fake Which Are You?

Lately I find myself truly amazed at the people in my life whether it be virtual or a real life connection. I am constantly skeptic of the TRUE vs. FALSE....

For example I have friends that are there for me mo matter what... Good, Bad and everything in Between... Then I have friends that I can only talk to when things are going good in my life, because they don't care enough about the bad things with the potential to get better. Then I have those friends that only call me or talk to me when they need something.. You know the one's that tell you that they'll be there for you anytime, but when you do call they don't answer or come up excuses on why they couldn't call you back. Then there are the DRAMA seekers... They seem to have a interest in what's going on and want the information but they don't want all of it. They are only interested in the tidbits in which they can pass along the virtual DRAMA train to everyone else... Example: "This is the Shit She's going through now!", however they only share the BAD things going on and never the POSITIVE things that are happening. The problem with these friends or acquaintances I should say is that they are complete and total Hypocrits. They will sit there and say shit like, "She's having a Poor Poor Pitiful Me Crisis." Never bothering to look at themselves or how much Negativity they literally DWELL on. They feed off the comments and replies they get from contant attention. Negative more so than the positive. Everyone is so quick to pass judgement on everyone else and its BULL SHIT.. I read a perfect quote the other day that I wish more and more people would think about. "What would happen if people had to get a fully public background check before they were allowed to criticize others?"

Don't get me wrong I will not say that I don't criticize anyone either, one of my favorite past times is to people watch. However that doesn't mean that every comment made is negative either. I also don't pretend to be someone I am not, if people don't like me then good for them, they have a right to their opinions. Nobody has a perfect life, and if you do congratualtions, you must have kissed ALOT of ASS to get there!!

I am doing my best not to dwell on all the negativity in my life. It will not help me heal any faster, now will the stress be conducive to my recovery process. As much as I Love and Adore my Friends and what little Family I have... Now is the time to focus on me because if I don't no one else will. If I don't worry about keeping me well, I won't be around to ensure that everyone else is either. That is just not acceptable to me.

Final Note: Please don't cast shatter my mirror, without looking at your reflection first.
