she

"besides that, someone tried to force a friendship on me..."

a comment on that previous entry of mine.

i guess it's a subjective issue but the key thing to be learnt has to be forgiveness. she's made me uber-angry at her so many times that i've lost count. but i guess it's up to my level of tolerance to be able to handle her.

i'm not so angry now, i'm usually not after a few days...but then the next time i see her it'll be a whole new episode of learning to forgive and getting over the anger again. right now i'm just displeased...but not in a fit of rage or anything. i will admit though that it has bothered me more than often, this latest meeting of ours. it forces questions in my mind that causes me to ponder on the long-term benefits of this, if any and the worth of it.

[btw, the heading below is just a pun on '10 things i hate about you']

5 Things I Hate About You (only applies to our sessions)
1) she makes me uncomfortable

2) she expects me to trust her when she doesn't even trust me

3) she keeps repeating her questions to the point of annoyance

4) she wants me to open up and when i do it's not enough for her

5)the questions and the way she asks her questions is a borderline between rudely insincere and sincerely curious

--this post has been edited. each point actually came with elaborations but on second thought, maybe not.--

okay, so maybe it's forgiveness and patience. it is, after all, a virtue, especially for me. i'm treading on foreign ground here, so i'm not really sure of what to do. because by nature i tend to stay away from scary people like these.
