I woke up at 4:15 and turned on the computer. I went on to facebook and saw someone from college wanted to add me which I opted to "not now". Then something interesting popped up. A message from Curtis from sometime last week that wasn't flagged as they normally are. I told him in the past that I don't friend anyone I don't talk to on the regular or close family and friends and that I unfriend people who fall out of those categories. I unfriended him after I found out he was quitting and it didn't seem like he was going to be talking to me much. No big deal to me, right?
"I figured you'd get around to unfriending me sooner or later. Completely understandable. I just wanted to make sure you knew that I really did enjoy hanging out with you. I'm sorry for the way things turned out - I call it self destructive antisocial tendencies. Told you I don't have friends. Lol. You're a great girl, and I wish you all the best and I sincerely hope your apron-clad days are numbered. You're much too good for that place."
On first reading, all half asleep as I was, I took it at face value of being charming and sincere as he is naturally. Be that as it may, I realized he felt he needed to say something where nothing needed to be said. Perhaps he thought I took offense where I did not or was worrying about what happened though I hadn't been, but for me it wasn't a necessary thing. So then I reread the "don't have friends" bit and the fact he has to point out I unfriended him and I honestly felt a wave of annoyance. I don't like that kind of weakness; if you don't want to lose touch with someone then don't, and definitely don't make it out to be the result of personality flaw.
