Say it to my face not my phone

Published: October 1, 2008

The one thing that I cannot stand is when someone is mad at me and doesn’t tell me about it. They end up waiting until I do something else and then they finally have the guts to text- not call – but text and tell me that we need to talk. They explain to me everything that I have done wrong and in the end I ask, “And you didn’t tell me this earlier because?”

I like to be honest with my friends. If I have a problem with something, I let them know. Honesty is the best quality in a person. Why would I want a friend that lies to me when something is wrong?

Instead of waiting for me to screw up multiple times and then telling me about it, call or talk to me in person after I screw up the first time. When you keep waiting until there are more screw-ups, you’re just making things harder on yourself. In the end, you’re the one being the bad friend by not speaking up in the first place. There is no need to keep waiting and waiting until you finally have the nerve to push the ‘send text’ button on your phone; you know, the text you read over and over again, thinking, does this sound right?

Should I wait a little longer?

So how about instead of texting me, call me. Maybe even go the extra mile and talk to me in person.
