Lost in Florence: Time to Go Back to Florence
These are my last 10 days in Egypt, I will terribly miss my family and my friends, but I can’t wait to get back to Florence!
I’m literally counting down the days, I want the new experiences and crazy adventures back. However, I did have a good time during my visit in Egypt, and one thing that caught my
attention was the amount of people who are genuinely mad at me for not asking about them.
That’s right, it’s the “mabtes2aleesh leih?” game. Now I know you’ve all heard it before, or even asked it at some point, but have you ever wondered how incredibly illogical and annoying that question is?
Let me tell you a few reasons why:
- You don’t have to wait for someone to “ask about you” in order to stay in touch with someone you’d like to keep in contact with, a phone works both ways, pick it up and give that person a call yourself.
- Some people ask this question with the intention to blame the other for being a horrible friend, for example: “I call you all the time, but you never ask about me” or “I called the last two times, it should be your turn” Now if you do that, you need to reevaluate your life choices, because making someone feel bad about not calling or asking about you is sad and annoying, and it won’t be viewed in any other way.
- And worst of all, people who are shallow enough to think that how many times you ask about them is equivalent to how much you care about them. I mean, people are different, and they manifest their love/care in different ways, and it doesn’t need to be the same way you use, or expect people to use.
Don’t push people into doing things that make you feel secure about yourself, and don’t make them feel bad for not being the people you expect them to be. Let people be, and the ones who care about you will show you in one way or another.
