This is something I used to experience way, way back. I thought we all grew up and were done with these childish games. Now that I’m casually dipping my toe in the pool I’m realizing we haven’t grown up at all.

I used to be really nice & honest with dudes. Y’know, treat ‘em like adults. But that doesn’t seem to work. So I switched it up and now can’t get ‘em offa me.

For example, I stopped talking to a dude I wasn’t interested in and he texted me asking to know why. I responded with “you talk too much. Like, it’s painful.” (something “old” me would NEVER have said/done) thinking that would shut him up for good and dude now won’t stop.

Wtf? Fa real?
