Making a scene

What I hate, possibly the most about people, is their total denial of a need for a attention.

We all like it.

None of us, however, want to seek it out. Some do, some pout their lips and push themselves up against other people and whatever, but the vast majority are all 'nah'.

By all means, we welcome it when it comes a-knocking but other than that, no, we're just fine.

Sometimes we'll laugh a little harder, smile a little wider, but that's the extent of it.

When two people are pissed off in the middle of the street, and they start shouting, they're 'making a scene'. They're apparently asking for attention. This is also apparently disgusting.

Being quiet doesn't make you polite. It doesn't make you more well liked. It doesn't mean that you're modest, or that you care more, or that you're more insightful.

It means you're incapable of acknowledging the truth about a situation. It means that you'd rather ignore a problem than have anyone else see that you're vulnerable.

And sooner or later, the problem goes away all together. Wait, does it?

No. No, it doesn't, people. It just recedes until next time. Because you never addressed it. Because you just shoved it behind a wall of fake peachiness.

I get that no one likes a drama queen. But no one likes an ignorant, resent-filled bitch either.
