Lately, a lot of people who I see around, are not around too much anymore. Today, I talked to a person who always used to hang around this one place on campus, and they were alone, so I decided to talk to them. 

I mentioned that I don’t see them that around this certain area anymore, and asked why so? Turns out, the people that this person used to hang out with all the time in the same area on campus, turned out to be “assholes”, and now they were avoiding coming to that area because they didn’t want to bump into them. 

I was like, “No, really?” How in the hell did they not know the people they were hanging out with were assholes? I just don’t understand it.

When I talk to a person, usually within the first couple of minutes I can grab a sense of how much of an asshole they are, but, to be fair, I usually give them a second chance to prove me wrong when I talk to them on another day. If they fail the second test, I personally avoid the asshole, or if they are really bugging the shit out of me, I play around with them to see how much of an asshole I can bring out of them, but that’s only when they’re being a huge asshole! lol

A lot of people hang out with assholes, or just plain rude people, and they’re okay with that for some reason. But usually, when an incident occurs between them and the asshole, they finally realize it, and don’t want to be around that person anymore. 

My whole point is: People need to realize who are friends and who aren’t. They need to open up their eyes and look at the character of a person, instead of just trying to relate and fit in. 

Why am I bitching about this? Basically, I like a lot of people who hang around certain areas on campus, and sometimes I like to hang out with them, while trying to avoid the assholes at the same time, But now, because the people I like to talk to realize how much of an asshole the people they hang out with are, they don’t show up in their usual areas and I can’t get a chance to talk to them anymore.

That saddens me. Especially when the people I want to talk to are attractive, smart girls. I just don’t get a chance to talk to them, let alone even seem them, on campus anymore… but then again, are girls who hang out with assholes on a regular basis smart? Conundrum.
