Forgiving

Someone who has been hard for me to forgive in the last few years used to be my best friend in high school. He was the only guy friend I really had that I trusted and we were great friends. We ended up going to SJSU together and everything changed. What I really cannot forgive is how he became a person who pretended as if we were never really good friends. It is hard for me to forgive because the relationship we had was not that easy to break, but he just became a different person and acted as if I wasn’t his best friend. We barely talk now. I think the last time we spoke was 1 year ago. He made no effort to rebuild our friendship, and when we did talk I told him we would never be friends like we used to be again. I think we both just mutually gave up and I do not consider him a good friend anymore. It is difficult to forgive him because the way he handled the situation. Even if I do forgive, things still won’t be the same.

Social Networking

I have never really been the type of person to post personal feelings or problems on Facebook. I think this is good because it helps present myself in a more positive way online rather than constantly posting emotions. I don’t really think about impressions people will get from me just because I rarely use Facebook. But, the impression they most likely get is that I am a happy and random person. There have been a few times I wish people had not posted certain things on my profile because it makes me look as if I am affiliated with whatever they posted. People usually tag their friends in advertisement pictures or spam and I do not like those. This relates to conflict and communication because you have to know how to handle those conflicts, in this case those posts you don’t like, and know how to manage it accordingly.
