You know, I would like to think that at 42, I’m wiser. I’m better than the petty bullshit, and I’ve risen above it.
Some things, though, they really just shake me to my core.
There’s something to be said for those that are successfully two faced. I could not imagine sitting there with someone I know I can’t stand, just faking it. Fake smiling, fake laughing, just being an all around fake.
There is a saying “a drunk mouth says what a sober heart feels”, and I can’t tell you how many times I have found this to be true. It’s a lot. If you doubt how someone feels for you, get them drunk. Before the night is out, God help you, you’ll know how they feel about basically everything and everyone.
These things being said, when I am just plucking right along in my life and catch a whiff of someone wearing one of their two faces near me, it gives me pause. I wonder what the reasons are, as I’m certainly not begging for friends, readers, or fans.
I wonder what they are hoping to gain. What is it that they will find to be beneficial to them by hanging around, as though I can’t see they have agendas tucked away in hidden recesses? What do these bitches really fucking want?
I had someone pop off with the bitchiest of tones right here while I was away handling home. Now, the screen name wasn’t one we had seen before, I know because you know I took it straight to Brian, who is like an elephant. But the writing, I’ve seen that writing somewhere before, that’s what I said to BMan.
So I’ve waited patiently for the individual to pop up again. So far nothing, but I’ve asked myself many times since, what could they possibly hope to gain? What do these sneaky snakes feel is so beneficial about being two faced and conniving?
Now, I must say, I can’t tell you the other side. I can’t lie about it anymore than I could about loving dogs, my facial expressions give me away long before anything I ever say will. But I can imagine, it really must be a hectic and stressful existence to have so much hate in your heart, and so many lies to keep track of.
Maybe I’m wrong. If there are any bitches with more than one face that would like to chime in, I would love to hear your reasons and motivations. Holler at a Bitchface, I’m on the hotline.
One thing that social media has encouraged, in my humble one-faced opinion, is exactly that sort of two-faced behavior. Unhappy people can hide behind screen names and spout their venomous shit then go back to being ‘Perky Perfect Sue’ posting pictures of their latest avocado bagel on Instagram.
I can’t stand that shit. My primary rule of engagement on any forum is to give positive support and, when attacked, either ignore them entirely or respond briefly (drop a nuke) and move on. I’m not wasting my time feeding the outrage trolls - life is short and I have much better things to do with my time (petting cats is No. 1 on that list 😺)
