Patience Probably Pays...

I've all the while have high tolerance and patience. Especially dealing with those I care about. I try not to be mad at them but instead continue to be the nice person that I am although deep down, I was disappointed with certain things that occurred. Don't get mistaken with hypocrisy ya. I'm definitely not doing that. I just feel, getting angry will just make things uglier. Being calm and talk in a composed manner will make your thoughts to go through effectively.

And so, what happened was... I discovered something that I wished the person had told me personally (bear in mind, the person had said countlessly that will always tell me everything). Instead, I heard it from other source. Of course, I was disappointed. But, I waited because I believe the person WILL tell me eventually. I even went to the extend of bringing up the subject matter so that it will be easy to talk about that story. Sadly, nothing was mentioned. So, I kept it inside me. I treat like nothing has happened.

However, after waited for quite a while and still nothing happened, I took action. I wasn't mad. I said nicely what I think of it and I stopped there. Not wanting to do anything more. Then, instead of apologising for not telling me, I was just told that now problem occurred. So, I wished good luck for solving it. I said since I wasn't told about, I don't think it's appropriate that I got involved. Then, I was accused that I acted like not wanting to know (as if I weren't concern). I was bewildered. I said I've waited and given chances to let the cat out of the bag, but it didn't happen. And now said I weren't interested to know?

So yeah, I was kind of upset BUT I was calm throughout the whole ordeal. However, the other party seemed to be quite freak out which came as a surprise for me. I never expect the person to react that way. The whole situation was projected as if I was going to stay away from that person completely. Even asked me whether things will stay the same anymore. At that point, I realised I had indeed played quite a big part in the person's life. Never have I saw such panic moment happened. Usually, I'm the one being panic all the time!

Although things seemed to settle back to the way it was all the while, I'm still trying out the water whether ways have been changed or not. I really wouldn't want to be slapped by news from other sources. I really want to hear from the horse's mouth! So, probably patience does pay. We'll see... :)
