Rant Rant Rant! Vent Vent Vent!

I insist that I don't want to be entangled with anyone who has ANY issues at all! Call it selfishness, but hey, that's what I DON’T want!

I have enough of my own issues to deal with. Apart from the normal moodiness and stuff that come with being a woman, that is. So why would I want to take on a 'friend' who has issues and hasn't learnt to deal with them?

Fine, so you have been through a lot. You come from a broken home with a lot of nastiness flying around. Okay. Sorry. Why am I supposed to be at the receiving end of all the nastiness you've soaked up over the years?

And what if you come from a poverty stricken family? Why should I be the one to suffer from your complexes and insecurities?

Everyone should learn to deal with their issues. Keep them away from public view. I don't want to suffer in your hands because your mother was a cruel sadist who inflicted grievous bodily pain on you at every opportunity. Neither do I want to be distrusted by you because you caught your first girlfriend on top of your best friend. I feel for you, but that's where it ends! Open your blind eyes and see that I am NOT her!!!
And if you cannot make that simple distinction, then, please leave me!!!

If you are so old and you are still tied to your ma's apron strings, forget me!

If you are this successful in your career but are still so uncontrollably addicted to drugs and alcohol, then I don't need you.

I won't sit here and watch you strip me of my independence, my dignity, my pride.

I won't stay with you in the midst of your friends and be the butt of all their jokes, I will not!

I refuse to become your slave and sole bread winner! I refuse! How can I work so hard for my money only to hand it all over to you at the end of each month to give to your greedy family? How?

I'm fed up of men (or women) who have psychological or other problems.

Honestly. I am.
