My birthday is in a week....

Some of my closest friends are pissing me off... Being braggarts. Being unappreciative. Being uncivil towards my siblings/other friends of mine they don't like. If you're reading this, I'm sorry it had to come out this way, but typing things out helps me.

You always say, "at least I can be civil", but I'm learning that you can't. At first I thought it was just my siblings, mainly my sister, being jealous. Lately though, I've taken a step back to look at the situation... You're downright rude to her. Its her house, and you're insulting her? I hold my tongue about your siblings, out of respect for you, but you don't even try to do the same for me. I know people are raised differently, and that has a lot to do with how you treat others, but you're an adult now, you should be able to fake a smile and hide your thoughts like the rest of us.

Some people won't be able to see this, but I'll still address the issue.

Bragging... Sometimes its fun, I'll admit that. Its downright rude when all you do is brag to your friend and rub their nose in stuff. "Oh, you haven't got that yet, I got that ages ago" -snicker snicker- "You mean I got one before you?"
Its all in the tone of voice you use, so watch your tone and what words you string together.
I don't care that you're going to get in someone's pants that you haven't talked to in years. I don't care that your entire conversation consists of only sexual innuendos. If you're going to be on the phone with me and waste my minutes, the least you could do is actually talk to me. If all you're going to do is text, HANG UP THE PHONE. Talk to me later. It doesn't matter that I have unlimited minutes, I don't want to listen to you text, that is one of the most annoying sounds in the world.

Lastly, if I go out of my way to do something for you, find something for you, make you something, at the very least, ******** SAY THANK YOU! Preferably before ridiculing it. And if you think its that bad, show me how you would do it better, or help me do it better.
