Here's a thought, just in case you're wondering.

Saying "I'm saying this to you as your friend" doesn't mean a damn thing if I didn't ask you for your opinion in the first place. How about that? Also, you're kind of not my friend.

And saying "since we know each other better now, I'm not going to say 'oh, yeah, I understand' like I did in the beginning" just makes me not want to hear what you're saying, because you obviously were lying to me to begin with.

Why is it so hard for people to just tell the fucking truth?
