I think of the problem I have, is that I'm way too considerate of people. This extends to when people bore me, and get on my nerves. Being more honest with people unfortunately results in me coming off as an asshole for example, but what am I genuinely supposed to do when conversation is so dry I want to stab my ears? Of course those on the other side of the fence will say just be more interesting, carry the conversation. Truthfully, I'm just tired of always having to do that. I want to be swept off my feet, I want to feel what it's like to be romanced for once. I am masterful at being soothing and charming, but it takes more energy than I am willing to expend on those that waste my time. Is that to say that every person wastes my time? Of course not, but I feel that more often than not, having the gifts I do, and the talents, will frame me as being arrogant for thinking so highly of myself. However, I've found that having my pride is not only okay, but required to know my worth. I deserve far more than what people offer me, and it's the to point of a sad,pathetic reality that I am a cut above those who refuse to work on themselves, or want to better understand the world. I do not see arrogance in someone who simply wants to outshine those that came before him, and to create masterpieces with both my voice and my hands. I am tired of having my time wasted, and at the risk of sound arrogant and cruel, I will be more honest with myself, and with others. I am allowed to have a choice in who I talk to, I am allowed to be bored if you aren't interesting enough for me. My thoughts and opinions matter, and I need to treat myself like that.
