Aesthetically pleasing folks can take chances to express their feelings in the form of a grand romantic gesture and it’ll be okay because good-looking. Take that kind of super bold risk with someone who doesn’t find you attractive and you could be in for a huge plate of disappointment, with a side of humiliation.

They have their own aspirations and hobbies. Want to know what happens when only one individual in a relationship has goals and pastimes? The person who has nothing to do gets upset at the one who wants to spend a portion of their day enjoying beloved activities or focusing on passion projects, and it’s a recipe for disaster.

Sometimes you’ll be like, “HEY EVERYONE LET’S DO SUSHI AND DRINKS AND FUN STUFF TOMORROW NIGHT!” but then tomorrow night comes and you regret everything as you try to weasel your way out of plans that you created. You resent 24-Hours-Ago-You for being so enthusiastic.

It feels as if you had a menu in hand and anxiously, hungrily waited for 20-something years, then when the universe came over to take your order, you didn’t have the slightest clue what you want.

Sometimes we can’t just go to your barber. It’s like handing someone a hairbrush & fingernail polish and asking them to create a beautiful, detailed painting with it.

I saw a meme that says: “When a girl replies with ‘aww thanks’ it means she’s politely asking you to return to the friend zone you just tried escaping from.” Nonsense or the truth?

You’re not going to be able to get an entire, massive piece on your back or full arm sleeve in a half hour.

3. “Talking.” Not talking as in speaking, but “We’re talking,” talking.

1. The One That Insists On Arguing In Public.

There’s nothing worse than the person who pretends to wear their heart on their sleeve when they actually have an ace up it.

Exchanging compliments like “normal” friends choose to do is cool, but having battles of wits is much more entertaining.

2. Spontaneity is dying. Members of your group of friends have careers, spouses, kids, lives, stuff to watch on Netflix, obligations – things that don’t allow everyone to take part in impromptu road trips or other impulse hangouts.

Purple Teeth.

Looking back at old stuff and deleting or throwing it out because it’s not up to par with your current works.

The general public doesn’t believe the type of friendship you have truly exists. They refuse to. You’re like a mythical Pokémon or a bag of decently priced pistachios – something rarely seen – if ever.

1. Skipping ahead on a TV show that you began watching together.

Thinking that your feelings are foreign to everyone else. When you see yourself as somewhat of a Martian, it’s easy to refrain from expressing what’s inside because you’re fairly certain nobody wouldn’t understand anyway.

I walked away that day, hearing her words but not actually listening to and processing them. Honestly there was a short stretch where I thought I’d made the right decision, but that didn’t last.
