iDemand = No more Mr.Nice Guy

Currently Listening To : Jon Schmidt - Cherished Moment

Throughout my life, I've tried so very hard to please everybody - making sure that we always come to a compromise and everybody's happy. Hence, always being dubbed as Mr.Nice guy... I don't know if it's a good thing as much as I doubt it is now. However, I believe there's only so much one can take.

Boundary is what I always looked at to protect my personal interest. It's set in such a way that if one doesn't crossed his/hers into my "territory," I'll be perfectly fine with whatever they do. But the fundamental and pivotal idea is that there must be mutual respect between our actions. And that's what I personally demand from all individual regardless of age, culture, race, or country. You could be a complete stranger to me, but if you show me respect, I'll give you respect. Otherwise, you're nothing more than a scumbag.

If that's what I expect from a complete stranger, it's only natural for me to expect something MORE from a "friend" (or possibly close to blood brother/sister). At the very least, respect. I never believe in using a friend to achieve personal glory or social status because that just means one's being an opportunist. Well, maybe it's perfectly fine in this modern demanding world, but I absolutely don't expect and will not tolerate such actions from anyone whom I considered as my "friend." It's heartbreaking to know of such and I can't help to think to myself, "Does our friendship not worth as much as whatever you want to achieve?"

I'm just absolutely gutted by the way I'm treated by people. People that I come across on a daily basis. People who apparently "respected" me for who I am. People who I've known for too many years... The famous phrase is, "Jeremy doesn't mind. He's fine with everything." Wow! Hold on a sec, just because I constantly compromise doesn't mean I'm ALWAYS fine. I'm only human (like everyone else) and there are times when I won't agree on something. Speaking of which, do anyone actually care of how I felt about something?

Maybe I'm being oversensitive, but I've got feelings, too. If everyone of you are allowed to express your dissatisfaction or throw a bitch fit in front of me, I get to, too. I could careless of my reputation if need to. I'm no longer a push over. To hell if you think you can take advantage of me from now on.
