No APOLOGY

If there is one thing I am so good at is ignoring things that would lead to drama. I am someone who no matter how much you hurt my feelings or do something to get me pissed I try to stay positive and smile later on. It’s just like ignoring things that will get me pissed or just saying sorry even if I was the one wronged. I think most times it gets to a point where I can’t take in some nasty things again especially when it’s coming from the same person so I say things or do things and then I don’t feel sorry about it not caring if I lose that relationship or friendship.

Most people try to step on one’s toes over and over again especially when they feel you are someone who avoids drama and someone who says sorry whether right or wrong. They try to paint themselves as a saint because they know either way you will apologize meanwhile they are just manipulative and narcissistic.

When I saw this prompt a particular situation came to my mind but I kept contemplating whether to share it or not. I haven’t been great at keeping friendships since I do not know how to reach out to people and I do not like phone calls, but I try my best to show up when they are in need and I think most of my close friends understand that, so once in a while I do the random checking up and we catch up on few things.

I had someone who was my friend earlier last year, I got to know and met with her when I relocated to Kano, we were very close and we did most things together like market shopping and the rest. I noticed some things she did but I tried so hard to ignore it. She would get angry if I tried to help someone or even be polite in certain situations and then I would just laugh over it. A few times she got very angry when I helped a friend she wasn’t on good terms with and I just tried to apologize to her to avoid drama.

It got to a certain time when she came to me and said her brother needed money and he would pay me back, I teased her and said you get angry when I lend people money and say they won’t pay back but this is you with your brother. Well finally I decided to lend him the money but he didn’t return it as required. I spoke to her but she made it look like I was begging for my money and told me I was bigger than the money so I should leave it for him. At that point I was so disgusted and said things to her, I told her how she was manipulative and wanted things for only her benefit, I didn’t care about our friendship because I already felt disgusted with her attitude.

The next day, I got my money back but she didn’t talk to me anymore, not like I cared though and I think she deserved everything I said to her that day and I am not going to apologize because I ignored every dirty attitude she displayed just to avoid drama but I got choked up at a point.

Most times we just have to put people in their places even if it would cost us losing the relationship we share with them, it would save us from future stress.
