Hey there all, ok, I have to vent a little bit. You know, I love to chat period, especially w/ other runners and athletes. You know what? Here lately, I feel like I am the only one who tries when it comes to chatting and/or friendships. I think friendship is a two-way street. However, there are certain individuals who don't believe that. For example, there are several people that I talk to online that for whatever reason, won't IM me first, however, they're always more than glad to talk when I IM first. Also, I have no problems talking to peeps about what goes on in my life. I have friends online, as well as offline. However, I have a problem with people whom I have shared problems with, but won't tell me whats going on in their lives. There are several mottos that I live by in my life. One of them is "whats good for the goose is good for the gander". So from now on, if people wanna talk, thats fine, I want to. However, if people aren't going to put 100% into a conversation or friendship, then I'm not gonna waste my time nor my energy. Am I wrong or crazy for feeling the way I do? I'd love for some opinions.

Well guys, I'm beginning to think that I am regretting trying to talk to other runners. It seems like a lot of the runners on here don't even have a messenger, and most of the runners I have dealed with on other sites, such as dyestat are incredibly arrogant. I'm not gonna name names, but I'm really disappointed. Maybe I'm the only one who was brought up to be humble and grateful for the opportunity to play sports? Who knows. I got balled out by a girl recently because I was trying to be her friend and help her out. She didn't think she had to tell me anything when I told her some personal information. Her boyfriend then came on and said that my services were no longer needed. That she didn't need anyone online for a shoulder to lean on, that's what he was there for. I had another girl tell me recently that she didn't think it was possible for people who talked online could be friends. She felt that the only people she could be friends with were people she physically hung out with. Well, considering she's from Connecticut and I'm from Arkansas, I'd say that's close to impossible. You know, I give so much of myself and I get very little return. Honestly, I ask for very little in return. One of the reasons I prefer to talk to girls instead of guys is because girls don't like to talk about sex a lot like guys do and girls understand certain things that guys can't. Right now, I'm not so sure who I want to talk to anymore. I'm sorry for venting, but something had to be said. Sorry I wasted ya'll's time writing this post.
