Double Standards

It’s just a very biased view of different people doing the same things. For instance, it’s okay if someone you are familiar and comfortable with does a certain thing for you, example buying you flowers, it feels nice and you would be happy. On the other hand, someone that you are uncomfortable with does the same thing, you feel awkward instead, even though it is the same process and event. That is double standard, and honestly it’s unfair. Why there is a need to treat people differently based on who they are? Well, it’s simple. It is because you like them as a person. The term like is vague however, the prospect would be similar as respect. When someone is being respected, they would have the need to come up with a reason, be it true or false, for their actions. While the others whom this dislike or do not have much respect for, if an action was done, no matter how outstanding or impressive it is, it would just be written off as a negative trait.

It is similar to telling people about your stories. There would be a group of people you tell your stories to, 100% as how you can remember. On the other hand, there would be some where you wouldn’t tell at all. When someone asks “what happened? Are you okay?” there are some whom you can just spill all your bottled up feelings and rant/ complain to and there are those whom you would just reply with “nothing, I’m just tired”.

Another factor would be due to how comfortable you feel with the significant person. If they would always be there if you ever fall or get into a situation of mistrust. Or would they conform to the majority and laugh while everything in your life breaks away. All these are the considerations of double standards, are why one person would differ in terms of treatment towards one person from the other.

For myself, there are little people I write off people I don’t like in an instant. One chance and the second, then no more. I feel there isn’t a need to give people chances when they don’t deserve it and life is too short to spend time on worthless things or events that you know you wouldn’t enjoy. It is a pain to have a friend whom you have to spend a lot of time and effort in, to know that in the end you are treated as the dispensable one. It is unfair and hurtful. To know that someone would give their all to be by your side when you need them, but once you are the one in need, they turn a blind eye and just give you a pat on your back telling you, ‘good luck, you’re on your own’. Honestly, what kind of bullshit is that? It is a waste of time and effort.

It’s a little off topic about what I wanted to convey initially, but that’s just all that I wanted to say.
