right.
Nobody here. Just gf from high school and early 20's. NOW I TRY (but, alas, I do fail at times) to think before I say something to someone and if I can't be nice I try to be neutral. I see women in meetings that I've known for a loooooong time and we hated each other then and we tolerate each other now for the sake of "fellowship" and all that but we still really hate each other. There is a woman in a meeting I go to who was Miss Suzy Cheesecake/Head Cheerleader/Miss Popularity and I see her, talk to her and she's really, really NICE and supportive and not a bitch at all (like I thought she was without getting to KNOW her in HS) and then I look at the girls I hung around and they were all back-stabbing bitches. albeit with cool black eyeliner.
I just hate looking back at all the wasted opportunities. I could've been with NICE girls. I could've been NICE myself. Instead I was judgmental and dismissive and haughty. all the things I accused the cheerleaders of being. How ironic.
