I posted before about how trying to guess what people think of you is a pain. But you know what's worse? Mixed signals. (Okay it's kinda the same thing, but I'm gonna rant anyway). Also, clueless people. That's not really something I can be angry about though.
Mixed signals, I could rant about all night.
I can't stand them. This back and forth between how someone treats someone else. This inconstancy, inconsistency, shifting and changing, that bothers me. I'm the kind of person that needs someone to just be open with me, to show what they feel and not be confusing.
This is probably because I'm pretty clueless myself.
Yeah. If you don't practically slap me in the face with it, I probably won't get it. It's a rare occasion, and a very special person, when I do.
Out of my current friend group, I'm one of the people with the most romantic experience, I believe. Which is a major contrast to back home, and totally unnerving, so I tend not to think about it. If I've gained anything from the little experience I've had, it's that I'd always rather know. No matter how horrible it is, I'd rather know. Being kept in the dark stinks a lot. And so mixed signals just kinda mess me up. Because at that point, I don't know. And it's annoying, in a weirdly painful way.
Mixed signals are like secrets, and secrets don't make friends unless your friends know the secrets.
Mixed signals are like driving behind a guy who can't decide what lane to be in and you're trying to pass them. First they signal right, then let, then right, then nothing, then right again, and left, and you just want to scream at them: "Make up your mind!"
So anyway I can't be angry about clueless people, since I am one, but I am annoyed by mixed signals. Please try not to do that. It just hurts everyone involved.
Okay, rant done. Hopefully there's no part three.
Keep your fingers crossed and your signals clear!
