As we all know, on Dec. 23rd we celebrate Festivus. One of the many traditions of Festivus is to gather one’s friends and family and express all the ways they’ve disappointed you in the past year. (Idea blatantly stolen from C.G. Shields.)
1. You didn’t involve me in one of the most important days of your life.
2. You proved, once again, that you don’t want to control your anger. It’s not that you can’t; you just prefer not to.
3. Rather than telling me a problem with me to my face, you chose to blast it like a high-school kid on a social networking site. You also chose to attack the person, rather than the opinion.
4. You’ve never liked me since I’ve been old enough for you to be jealous, but wanting to confront me about my personal beliefs among family during a holiday? There’s a time and a place…
5. You still haven’t realized that the way you’ve been brought up is horribly, horribly wrong. I thought maybe you would realize it with your newfound freedom.
6. You refuse to free yourself from a bad situation. In other words, you refuse to allow yourself to be happy.
7. You are incredibly judgemental, but I chose to look past this, because you see, I’m not. The way in which you chose to end a friendship was cowardly and childish.
8. You are overworked, and allow this to affect your own well-being and relationship with friends and family. Some of the things you forget are really important.
If you want to know if it’s you, ask.
