Well, I had never realized that I was a Heartless Bitch until I visited this site.
I read many of the submissions from exemplary members of HBI, and found more and more
things which I related to entirely. Sheesh, isn't it amazing what you can learn from
the Internet at times? Well, anyway, I'd like to tell you all about me and my newly
discovered (although long-existent) Heartless Bitchiness.
I like to think of myself as a kind, considerate, intelligent person, who can stand on
her own two feet and stick up for herself and those she cares about when they need it
(and there have been times..) without compromising my ideals or values. I have all
the time in the world for people who have my friendship and respect, and I believe
myself to be a good friend. Certainly I have been told I am, and I have never let a
friend down where I could help it.
But...
I have absolutely no time for people who mess me about:
- who fuck up their own lives after I have offered or been asked for help and had them
just ignore it, refuse it, waste it, or carry on screwing up again and again, never
learning from their experiences
- who betray everything which friendship means to me, or value my respect as nothing
- who see only the outside of people, and don't give the time to find out what is inside
- who have little or no common sense, no natural wits to live by
- who are whiney and pathetic, who are an embarrassment to womankind
- who are intolerant of differences of creed, colour, age, sex, or anything else which makes two people "different" from each other
- who try to force their own opinions onto other people, with no respect for others' boundaries
- who let others think for them when they are perfectly able to think for themselves (*bleat*)
but above all, I think, people who don't have the qualities which distinguish us from other animals (and many a-time, that insults the animals!) - basic politeness, thoughtfulness, and consideration for others before they prove they don't deserve it.
Anyone can be rude, thoughtless, incompetent, or wasteful of their natural talents, but it takes a special kind of person to have the inner strength and conviction to make something of themselves.. and if the worms of this human world call them Heartless Bitches, so be it. If I sound intolerant of these characteristics in others, it is still nothing besides my intolerance of these characteristics in myself. So I guess that makes me a Heartless Bitch, too.
Yes! I want to read more from Real Life Heartless Bitches
