>i don't know. make me strive to be better. though I'm already past that I think. i don't want to hate other people. I'd rather redirect all the hate towards myself.
there's an open faucet. you wonder how many buckets must you empty before the basin overflows, instead of wondering if the faucet should be open to begin with
>someone gifting something and expecting absolutely nothing in return doesn't make sense
are you replying to me out of pity/duty then? that would ring the entire conversation hollower than you not replying at all. if that's the case, however, i won't take it personally. if you truly are here just to entertain others because they dared ask you something, i'll stop bothering you altogether.
>isn't that the same thing as having a debt to repay?
well, for starters, no one wants to repay debts
>someone gifting something and expecting absolutely nothing in return doesn't make sense
fine, there's always subtext. you're expected to be grateful, to keep being their friend, to make use of the gift in whichever way it was meant to, to keep the status quo, etc. that's the hidden price. thing is, none of these make sense no? you're not sacrificing anything to compensate for them, so it doesn't feel like enough, even though it is. that's the fault, you keep expecting everything to cost something finite, or rather, something that cost you something. if someone gives me a kidney, i must give my kidney to someone else. and thus, no one ever gets to keep it.
>the tea god, obviously.
oh damn i quite liked the guy- i mean i quite indebted myself to his endless kindness of giving me a bit of his infinite tea supply whenever i asked.
>i want to be someone's most important person. everything else seems pointless without that.
sure, let's entertain this. you're my most important person, even if you don't believe it. now what?
