Just a Random Blog

Blog Post 11

Hi everyone!

So this blog post is going to be a bit more serious then the other lighthearted rants, and that's because a couple stupid events in my life made me realise truly what I am. I think I already knew it slightly, but I guess it took these events to concrete this in my mind (and no, I'm not coming out).

Today I'm describing my life as what it's like to be an extra.

Being an extra is basically being the one in a group that's never the centre of attention. You know that person who when they speak, everyone listens? Yeah, being an extra is basically the opposite of that. It's the kind of person who has to fight for any attention, because no-one really cares about what they talk about. And there are always a few things that piss me off like nothing else:

1. If I am speaking, don't just start a conversation over the top of me. I understand that you have something important to say to your friend, but it's really bitchy. And if I yell "SHUT UP!" at you, don't get offended.

2. When you're having a party, just consider me. I know I'm probably not good enough for your exclusive A-list (sarcasm intended), but if you look at what I've done for you, it's probably more then a lot of people. Accept my friendship and don't be a douchebag.

3. THIS IS F**KING IMPORTANT!!!! One thing that all people who've never been one of my kind understand is that we have emotions too. As me speaking from an actual experience that happened a few days ago, don't speak about a party that I wasn't invited to right in front of me. And those attempts at subtlety ('I couldn't make it to your...bash' 'you know that game we played yesterday' 'thanks for the present'), b*tch, they don't work. Don't get into a little group and talk about it either.

4. Don't post about your party all over social media. Honey, it's just plain rude.

5. We shouldn't be the butt of jokes constantly. Unless you want me to get my ass out of there and never talk to any of you ever again, treat me with some respect.

6. Don't unfollow me or don't follow me back on Instagram. I don't care that you're my friend, I will be pissed off at you and unfollow you. True friends shouldn't do that anyway.

7. Don't make groups without telling me for group work. You have no idea how many times I've been stuck in the group of leftovers because of this. I'm part of your group too, so don't be a douche. 

8. Respect my personal space. I don't care that you want your best friend to sit next to you every lunchtime, my ass is not moving. I sat here first, and if you want someone to sit next to you, find a spot where you can, or deal with it.

9. Don't gang up on me. I get that you don't want to do an annoying task, but I'm not your damn maid, and you're not the queen. You can carry a f**king chair up a flight of stairs, honey.

10. Let me see your memes or funny posts. No explanation needed.

11. Don't say 'Okay...Jesus Christ!' if I get pissed off at you. Unless I'm on my period, I'm not going to yell at you randomly. And if I am, well, my nerves are frayed. Show some understanding b*tch.

I could add so much to this list, but I'm going to stop it here. So the next time you ignore someone or get pissed at them when they get mad at you, stop and think.

PSA Message: Don't be a dick.
