001 [anon text]

This community brings a lot of people together from a lot of different worlds. In time, sometimes in not very much time, friendships are made across worlds.

But...say you made friends with someone, and then you found out something bad about them. Something that made you question ever talking to them in the first place. How would you feel? What would you do?

I'm sorry if this is something you would rather not talk about or if it brings up painful memories. But I think I need some perspective on something and this is the best option I have.

Hmm. I guess I'd confront them about it and get to the bottom of it. Depends on the problem, really, but I'd at least be honest with my feelings on the whole thing.

permatext because just permatext (and also anon)

[Of all the people to have responded, she'd really hoped he wouldn't. She still really can't face dealing with him right now but she can't quite bring herself to ignore him either.]

What do you mean by get to the bottom of it?

[double anon text aw snap]

[yumadbro]

I don't know.

I've never really had enough friends to judge something like that.

[anon party!]

[fans_fire]

I think you just summed up how I feel about it. I'm not that good with people.

[/anon confetti!]

[yumadbro]

Neither am I.

But I guess, if it was me...depends on what kind of person they are. I mean, even good people do some awful things now and then. Right?

[fans_fire]

Awful like what?

[yumadbro]

Like...I don't know. But nobody's perfect, right? So I guess it'd follow that even kind people can't do perfectly good things all the time.

[fans_fire]

So you think there's nothing that's unforgivable?

[yumadbro]

I'm not sure. Like I said, it depends on what kind of a person did something wrong. Or if they care about whether or not they're forgiven.

[fans_fire]

What if it's too soon to tell?

[yumadbro]

Then I'd try waiting to see how things go from here.

But I probably don't know. I've never had friends before.

Not many, I mean.

[fans_fire]

Hmm...I guess maybe it's still too soon to think clearly about this. But you've given me a lot to think about.

[yumadbro]

Can I ask what they did?

[fans_fire]

I'd rather not say. It would make me too obvious...I'm sorry.

[yumadbro]

No, it's fine. I was just kind of wondering.

[fans_fire]

I understand. Maybe once I figure things out it won't be so bad to tell.

Well then you have two options.

1 - Don't make friends.

2 - Accept that most people have dark sides.

text;

[fans_fire]

But how dark is acceptable? Would you forgive them no matter what? Or is there a limit to what you could accept?

text;

[arches]

It's not really your job to forgive them, is it? Unless you're the one being wronged. But that doesn't mean you can't voice your opinion on what they do.

[fans_fire]

If only it were that easy.

text;

[arches]

What's making it harder?

text;

[fans_fire]

I don't know. I think maybe because I've never come across this kind of person before.

text;

[arches]

Then it's a learning experience.

text;

[fans_fire]

I guess so.

Thank you.

You beat the shit out of their ass if they're something you can't stand. You beat 'em 'till yer not mad no more and can put up with 'em , or 'till you got it out of your system and you can walk away and say "fuck 'em."
