Unless you are one of a handful of exceptions, the following disclaimer applies to you. (If you don't know, then the answer is no.)
I am not your:
mother
sister (big or little)
girlfriend
therapist
job counselor
best friend
grandmother
tissue
teddy bear
What I am is your friend or acquaintance. I am here to share my life with you as far as I am comfortable with, and to see what interesting things my friends are doing that they are willing to share with me.
I am not a sympathetic person. I am much more likely to kick you in the ass and tell you to get over yourself than I am to let you cry on my shoulder. I firmly believe that good things come to those who help themselves, and that the healthy limit on wallowing is generally not more than three days.
Don't ask for my opinion if you don't want it, don't post it where I can see it if you don't want me to comment.
I try to be a good friend, but that doesn't give you the right to use me as a crutch, or to trespass on the few boundaries I have.
This is a privately-held space owned by aiglet. All thoughts and opinions expressed in the main journal are my own, except as otherwise noted. Comments are the property and responsibility of their posters.
While I encourage and enjoy open conversation, consider this journal an extension of my house. You are welcome to come in and join the party, but if you start behaving anti-socially, you'll get kicked out, and I might invite my friends to help.
All anonymous comments are screened, and all IP addresses are logged. I reserve the right to not unscreen your comment, and also to use IP address information to identify commenters.
Welcome to my life.
