CockyGirl: I have a big problem with friend. Yes, friend.
My friends think I'm too blunt, so I keep everything to myself, but then everything's all cramped up in my head.
When I was bullied, they said I should be more confident.
Now, I am trying to stand up for myself, but then they call my cocky.
Oh, also, I hate stupid people. Or maybe I am just too cocky...
But still. How can anyone be soooo stupid and ask such stupid questions? Do they not have common sense?
Ok... cockiness overload... :)
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO (sauce)

Friend: Dear CockyGirl,

Being cocky is different from being confident and honest; some people just don’t understand the difference. I doubt that you’re cocky, you just need to clear some things up and find some friends that are your true friends(:

Being cocky means to be arrogant in a cheeky way. Confidence is having the certainty of something. As you can tell, these two have different meanings. Some people don’t understand the difference and may just be ignorant and confuse the two. I don’t mean to say everyone is, but if one of your friends continues to point out every single one of your flaws and can’t help but jump at any imperfection you may have, then those may not be your real friends. Sometimes things can just end up being a big misunderstanding. You may be using sarcasm and your friends don’t understand it. Try to clarify this with them and just toss in something like, “You guys know I’m just joking though, right?”

Another possibility may just be that you are too outspoken. Please don’t take this to offence or any of the sort, I’m just giving you my outlook on the situation. Sometimes people tend to say everything that is on their mind and not think before they speak. It isn’t a sin or a problem, it’s just a habit that needs a little tweaking(: Have you ever had that one person in class who tends to shout out something unnecessary at everything? It really gets on your nerves doesn’t it? I am in no way saying that you are like that person, but next time a thought that’s really out there comes into your mind that you want to shout out to the world, ask yourself, “Is it really worth sharing?” Let some of your friend’s drama and anger settle down before you can all be goofy and loud around each other yet again ;]

My opinion on this, is that you just need to find a pair of friends you can be 100% true around(: If you’re already calling your friendship “friend,” then there’s clearly something wrong. True friends are those that know all of your flaws and imperfections and still accept you whoever you are(: There’s nothing to hide and they won’t jump at you for saying something weird or out of the blue (after all, it’s more fun to be a complete dork around those who are even bigger dorks, is it not?) :P

So sorry for replying so late to your letter >< Just breathe and keep on smiling CockyGirl(:
