The truth is, I'm a Bitch-in-training. However, I think I understand this site and I think that I would get along well with other people who understand this site.
Up until the past couple of years, I was an excessively caring, overly nice, sugary person. Infatuated with the idea of making everyone around me happy all the time and solving their problems. I'm exceptionally good at making other people comfortable, which is an aspect of myself I've turned into a career in counseling. As I take on more counseling clients, I find that my desire to solve everyone's problems is depleted, and in my personal life I've become more of...well, more of a Heartless Bitch.
After a few hours a day of dealing with people who have actual trouble, I have little-to-no tolerance for people who just want to piss and moan. I care very deeply for my clients and I do my best to help them with their problems. As an added bonus, it's a great way to get the 'fixer-upper' out of my system.
Since I started working in counseling, I've stopped dating guys who need me to 'give them a chance.' I've stopped hanging around girls who want to complain about their relationships. I finally kicked my own personal 'nice guy' to the curb, telling him that no, we cannot be friends. That's actually a pretty good example of me being a little Heartless, he told me that he needed me and that I complete him. I told him that whatever I do for him, he's not doing anything for me. I've refused to talk to him since then.
When I realized that I could turn 'nodding and smiling' into a marketable skill, I stopped making it my hobby. People who deserve to be my friends are still my friends, and I find that the friends I've kept are reliable, stable and intelligent.
I don't think that you have to be mean to be a Heartless Bitch. I think you have to be in control, independent and intelligent. I am definitely all of those things. I'm not spineless, and these days I keep my counseling in the office.
