I hate meeting people I met from the past, but that's because I'm now unemployed and single, so when they say things like "you still with x?" or "what you doing with yourself these days?" I just want to punch them and tell them to fuck off. Of course I smile and say I'm enjoying life, which is true, but I know deep down they're thinking "so you turned into a bum?" and I'm thinking "I wish I was at home with a spliff".
on a related note, i used to hate reading people's facebook profiles in fear of finding out that they're having more success than i am. i recently got married, got a pretty cool job, and am finding myself comfortable reading those profiles now. i am still not sure if it's my being spiteful now, or if i was just really insecure then, or a bit of both.
