Are you so unlikeable? No one who you can influence?&quot; He started showing impatience and anxiety.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Me in my head: &lt;i&gt;&quot;Is that a threat? You fucking prick!&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Offended, I scroll my address book in my phone, I wonder why I bothered.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Gave him some names. He goes&amp;nbsp; &quot;Are these friends you treasure?&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;What do you mean? I treasure all my friends!&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&quot;I mean, come on be honest. We do rate our friends, like category A, B and C.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Mostly Bs.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;TODAY at the clinic for health checkup....... PAY BACK!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;He goes &quot;I have called your friends, and they have almost all said yes! Except for those I couldn't reach! I am very happy, eh thanks leh! See they all like you more than you think!! Are you happy?&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&quot;Its not whether they like me or not lah! Its whether they mind me giving their numbers to you lah. I wouldn't want people giving my&amp;nbsp; number to people I don't know mah, Same goes for them. I was worried they will be offended.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;There! Made my point! Idiot!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&quot;Are they? Which ones?&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I pointed a few names.&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;&quot;But I sent them an SMS apologizing.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Noted from a friend &quot;He called me, and told me, that you rated me one of the top 3 friend. Ask me if I am surprised.....&quot;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;TOP 3?!?!? I do NOT rate my friends, and I do NOT like the label of BEST friends and what number 1, 2 or 3 friend. I only have a CLOSEST friend from secondary school. I don't like labels and I definately do not want anyone to label me the same!! How can he just go to people and say they are my number ? friend!!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Don't like this guy, he only cares about making contact with people who can benefit him, or link him to more business. And he treats people nice and gives praises only when he feels like there is something to get in return. Once discovered you are not helping him, the impatience and temper shows. Am I OBLIGED to help?! Favors for favors. Materialistic, revengeful, short-tempered man. I do not wish to trust him with or deal with him in any other business other than being my insurance agent. I will make sure my connections with him stops right there. Hopefully, he will not turn out to be too close to my closest pal.&lt;/p&gt; </content> </entry>  <entry> <author> <name>Lorena</name> <uri>http://lorena.blogspirit.com/about.html</uri> </author> <title>Egoistic Leos</title> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://lorena.blogspirit.com/archive/2008/08/21/egoistic-leos.html" />  <id>tag:lorena.blogspirit.com,2008-08-21:1613974</id> <updated>2008-08-21T23:54:21+08:00</updated> <published>2008-08-21T23:54:21+08:00</published>   <category term="Blog" scheme="http://www.blogspirit.com/ns/types#category" />    <category term="Blog" scheme="http://www.blogspirit.com/ns/types#tag" />  <category term="diaries" scheme="http://www.blogspirit.com/ns/types#tag" />  <category term="journals" scheme="http://www.blogspirit.com/ns/types#tag" />  <summary> I have an ego problem.

Sat down for a break at TCC Peranakan Place.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;We started chatting, then for some reason, came to the age-old topic of how inappropriatly I dress, or how I am not like a girl and do not take care of my appearance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Then it drifted to how I do not get a boyfriend or get married.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;In public, she discussed this loudly. Shaming me.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I told her firmly that the conversation should stop right there. She carried on regardlessly.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I do NOT want to be stuck with her. Not on tour, not at home.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;I want to get out of the family as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Melbourne?

Even now, I am lonely at home during Christmases and New Years.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;That is sad for me.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Moving out to a flat? That is so tempting, but that will incur another set of bills to pay, and in default keeps my family from saving money. Together as one unit, we can save money.
