the type in particular i want to discuss is 2. gosh, it's so tiring sometimes, especially when your friends, family don't really like each other, when you feel forced to take stands, when if you're not with this one, you're with the other, when you want to sit on the fence but the fence hurts too. socialFriction when you have to constantly remember what to say, what not to say, what you must not say, what you should not mention, what you can't say. and you're caught, like a fish in a net, nowhere is safe, nowhere you can escape to.

the disagreement is subtle but it bites at you, nibbling bits off slowly..saps your energy..

but i am guility too of not liking some people and making others in our prescence feel uncomfortable.
