I've been trying to avoid two people in the building because of some nasty things they have said about people; therefore, I'm not too fond of them at this particular moment. But today I see them everywhere, at the printer, on my way to class, and in the laundry room. IT'S ONLY MIDDAY!
I don't like being forced to make small talk and smile when I know they have been commenting on my life, my roommate's and another friend's.
However, I realized that even though I come to dislike someone, I cannot rid my first impression of them. For example, my uncle who broke up my mom's side of the family, I abhor him; yet, I cannot bring myself to mentally support what I know I should feel. I should hate him, but I do not. I can't bring myself to hate someone who I jested with for so long; someone who has tried to look out for me. I used to believe that their misdeeds would counteract all the good deeds, but it doesn't. They have hidden sins-not so hidden anymore-but I cannot bring myself to see who they have developed into.
I just returned from the laundry room. AGAIN, someone has taken out my clothes from the washer, and that someone is friends with my friend. Luckily, he only took my clothes out of one washer. Luckily, I tried to make small talk and even out the damage I did at the beginning of the year. Of course, he doesn't remember me acting creepy in the elevator.
Me and my big mouth.

Even though you are living in the same building, you shouldn't let the thing they've said slide. I'm sure you have your reasons as to why you put on that facade. But whatever their nasty comments may have been it should be known its not appreciated. I mean, I don't understand the circumstances of the situation but I guess there's a reason you won't confront them about it. Just be honest about how you feel. It's good to have people that are real y'kno?
