Speaking of staunch, i have a question about the Staunch/Consistency divide;
This girl had apparently chosen me. She finds me very interesting, and has also referred to me as a 'terrible shit', and a 'bastard' at various conjectures. She expects me to be that bastard. On the outer surface she presents herself as a 'nice, good, inoffensive young girl'. She wants me for what she perceives as a confidence - 'You're audacious' - is something she once told me. That said, what she perceives as bastardy is quite mild to me. I've been absolutely fucking terrible to women in my past
So, when she mirrored me in that previous text interaction, the only reply I gave was to tell her off for being bratty. I was reasonably staunch - a different day and I might have laughed it off - and she mirrored back with a small joke and an apology. She revealed it was her birthday, so the first message she got was someone checking her
I didn't reply, and haven't done since. I genuinely didn't care that it was her birthday, didn't wish her a happy birthday, and haven't replied since. My telling off had a hint of harshness to it aswell.
At the back of my mind has been a little tapping saying that I probably should apologise. My inner self say 'No, why and what do you have to apologise for. So what if it was her birthday'. So, what I'm attempting to ascertain is which is which. She needs me to be ever so hard on her, and not allow her to get away with bratty behaviour, and therefore I must remain consistent. However, is the refusal to apologise(over something even seemingly small/i don't believe in the smallness of interaction) staunch?
It's this balance which I'm moving toward. Balance....
This interaction has bought up in my quite a strong relapse in attention seeking behaviour. Since I was ignored and neglected by my Mother as a child it is pretty fucking tricky to deal with but i'm becoming ever more aware of it which is cool. This broad has really helped reflect back those inner desires and core issues. Thanks bitch
