Civil and fake, all at the same time?
How do you criticize a friend, especially when you agree with what they're doing?
Just not how they're doing it.

At least the enchiladas were good.

Just say it man, you'll feel better. Make sure they know it isn't what they are doing just the way they are going about it that you disagree with. Even if they don't change, you've been honest with them, thats what friends are expected to do.

Yes, Andrew, by all means, please, just tell me. I don't agree with it either. ::kicks at the ground:: I just don't know what else to do.

Yes, well, I'm sure I rather did just say it - you're being fake, Leslie, near as I can tell. I agree that if Nancy is such a bother or what, you should cut ties. But playing at the games (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml?journal=surichan&itemid=144079) that you seem to be running, you should just up and tell her how things are going. I don't know HOW you could possibly do that in a civil way but... Fake is not good. Regardless of the intentions, I don't think you're doing her any favors.

He wraths at me...wow.

Yeah, uhm, sorry about that. Louis' advice kinda hit me mid-stride. I rather have issues with 'fakeness.'

Sorry to plop into this conversation, especially since its not really my business, but neh...

"We all wear masks. Its the opaque ones we wear the most, especially when we are scared. Its the colorful ones our friends like, because they see more than we think they do. Its the transparent ones that peopl ehate, because they can see right through it and know that you are lying. Its taking off masks that are hard. We never get rid of them, just change them to look more and more like us. The only thing harder than taking off a mask is knowing that we put one back on."

Very, very good point about the masks. I should know about that well enough, I think.

Anyways, though - I have this set up as a Message Board for a reason. Short story long, if you can see it here, you're free to 'plop in' regardless - I would use another medium if I didn't want the conversation 'interrupted.'
