You know what gets me going? Like I wish throwing a kinetic billiard ball at a bitch’s face ala Gambit? Attention whores. Nowadays, I get them on a daily basis. I’ve many friends who’ve a bit of this. They’re tolerable. They know when to stop. But holy, some people, are 40,000 leagues away from tolerable. To perfectly describe how they are, better Google up “histrionic personality disorder”. I decided not to deal with attention whores. The best remedy you can have for those are not to have a significant interaction with them. As goes for other psychological defects, though not all. Anyway, it’s not only the attention whoring and the excessive emotional outbursts that really sucks, but also with the hypocrisy.
In the Philippine cosplay community, there are the Alodia fans, Alodia haters and the minority, the neutrals. I am neither a fan nor a hater. Don’t believe me? I personally don’t give a fuck what her achievements are, what she’s doing at the moment or what she is in the hobby. I don’t hate her. I’m the guy who enjoys watching the haters and the fans getting it on in the “go time”. Be it in the intertubes and IRL. And significantly, I could not care less of what people think of Alodia. I don’t base my judgment of people of what they like or they don’t like. For the most basic sense, I talk to them and weigh them whether or not I can get along with them. I don’t try to befriend people who I like to befriend but rather I get to know those who I get introduced to. Now you’re probably wondering where I’m going with this. There are people who put up a front with specific group of people so that they may get some crap god knows what out of them. Secondly, they have this front so that people may listen to them. Ugh! Sounds disgusting right?
Unfortuantely, one of these people happens to be my friend. It’s revolting enough to admit that this person is my friend. To make it worst, this person is the one I usually have to hang out with during cons. So imagine I’ve to put up with an attention whore, who’s also a histrionic and is a hypocrite for an average of 8 hours for every event we get to be in. I’m not a nice person to not so very nice people. The nicest thing I may do to them is not pay attention at them at all. Completely blocking them off my mind. Now, this little bitch keeps on saying “I’m not an Alodia hater, but shit…*insert what an Alodia hater would say*”. Sure it’s not convincing enough right? Try during the whole dinner when she keeps on saying some crap like that and with the loud vocie that the whole restaurant may hear. Now that, sir/ma’am is fucked up. How the fucking hell can you claim you’re being neutral when all the shit that people hear from you is hatred of that person? You would care enough what she does when it really doesn’t matter. I’m done with this person. It’s hard for her to earn my respect again. Or rather impossible for her to earn it.
And for a more good news, miracles can happen in this earth.
