I'm kinda sad right now. If things are truly the way some people are saying, then I have a good friend (an imvu friend) who hasn't been much of a good friend to said people lately. I have come to think much of him, and this news - if accurate - is extremely disappointing. Very sad indeed.

On a not-much-related note (or perhaps it's highly related), I have recently come to the official conclusion (though I sorta knew it all along) that I'm not very attuned to the personal agendas of other people. Their ulterior motives if you will. For example, I'm not good at knowing when a person is being manipulative or "playing the victim." Once it's pointed out to me and I'm conscious of such tendencies in a person, I notice it better. But I have to have someone point it out to me. Were it not for my more perceptive friends, who knows how many times I might have been played/conned/whatevs? Well okay, so I don't think it's THAT bad. But I am one of those people who will listen to anyone and sympathize with them, and then someone else points out how whiny or self-absorbed or needy that person is and I suddenly go, "Whoa, I guess they kind of are..." And then I kick myself for falling prey to such people.

I just took a whole paragraph to say that I'm kinda gullible. XD
