Recently returning to uni has thrust me straight back into a situation with a close friend of mine I have allowed the holidays and the distance apart to cover up. I allowed the distractions of home to lull myself into a false sense of security that the situation in question would just disappear when I arrived back.
Unfortunately it hasn't.
To sum up 'the situation' as it will now henceforth be known: it involved a member of the opposite sex and has been wildly blown out of proportion. I accepted my blame for my part and a month and a half later I am still paying the price, not only from her, but from the majority of that particular friendship group.
Therefore I have decided to draw up an outline of women for my own and others future reference. I don't wish to be detrimental to my sex and perhaps the majority of women are unlike the ones I am discussing, but heed this warning.
1. Girls love to play the victim. For example, you have made a mistake and subsequently upset a friend and they're currently hurting, what do you suppose their first action is? That's right, to start rallying troops for the sympathy vote. The sounds of 'how could she do that to you?!' and 'What a b***h!' are like music to a scorned girls ears. Whether it be mutual friends, family members or even random members of the public they will try to increase their strength twofold to drag you down. Brutal, but true.
2. They cannot let ANYTHING go. Even after the hours of discussing each others feelings and getting to the bottom of just what a rubbish friend you have been, the deed will linger like the smell of smoke for an extended length of time even after the fire has gone out. They will always have it stored in a side pocket of the brain in preparation to whip it out in a moment of needed pity or an excuse for how they are now treating you.
3. They work in packs and have to involve themselves in everything. It is a natural reaction for girls fight the corner of the apparent 'victim' and completely turn on the perpetrator regardless of whether 'the situation' is anything to do with them. It is as if morally they feel obliged to become the spokesperson/ knight/ battleaxe/ protector of said victim. This is especially irritating as the perpetrator must now try and resurrect things with people they have never even said a bad word to.
4. Finally, they never believe the truth. Girls are wonderful over-thinkers who take delight in mulling things over to death. They will come up with their own version of events regardless of what you tell them that in their mind will always be the truth. So what if you didn't actually mean for any of this to happen? To them it will have been a cold-hearted calculated set of events and that is the way it will stay even if you manage to prove them wrong.
Rant over. It is now time to delve into the hornets nest with little on but a t shirt.
Ah well, who wants life to be easy?
