Ew

My friend and I were playing and having a good time one day, when all of a sudden the friend did something completely unexpected and, I thought, unwanted. As far as I could tell, though, at the time, it was just been because the friend was misunderstanding what it was that I did want. At some point I must have given off the impression that things were the way the friend thought they were, when, in fact, they weren't.
The interesting thing, though, that I was trying to get to, was that after I realized that this was probably what was happening, I started to think that maybe I did want what they thought I wanted, which, despite having told the friend I didn't want this, I think caused me to begin acting even more like I wanted this thing, because I was beginning to think that maybe I did, when in fact I really didn't.
So my point is that sometimes what people think about you can dramatically effect how you think about yourself, and then you start to act the way they think you are, which confirms their belief, and it just keeps going. But now that I think of it, that's not as interesting as I thought it was.


Sorry, guys.
