twisted perceptions

Okay, you know I can deal with a lot of things. I can deal with people who don't like me, no problem. I can deal with people who get hurt feelings, no problem. I can deal with miscommunication, no problem. But one thing I CANNOT AND WILL NOT DEAL WITH is blatantly false accusations. You know you try not to listen to the hype, try not to let other people's perceptions of a person skew your own opinion, but sometimes I think some people go out of their way to prove that they are in fact the person everybody else told you they were. Okay, I've said before that I am definitely a judgemental person. But even when I try not to let that get the best of me, inevitably it wins out because some people just cannot get over themselves and their small little frame of reference that all people must fit into or perish into the oblivion of people who have upset them. Generally I think I am a pretty good friend, but there is only SO MUCH I will put up with and then I have to cut a person loose because I'm not going to be dragged into the abyss of somebody else's misery, I have my own shit to worry about. Man, I am so ticked off right now and usually I would be all about confrontation about it, but I'm going to give exactly what I got cause the milk is spilled and I'm not crying over it one damn bit.
