Peeves (otherwise known as why my standards for a friend are too high and why I'll remain forever alone.)

1. When people copy your every move. For example: *Gets a new hairstyle* "Oooooh! What a pretty hairstyle! I think I'd get it too." *Puts certain creatures on wishlist* "Those creatures are amazing! I'll put them on my wishlist too." Very soon, people have trouble telling us apart. You're not my clone, I want to be my own person. Stop! Imitation is not the highest form of flattery. And yes, the "Peeves" idea was my own. Other people who put it on their profile either: A. Thought of it, and it is a coincidence that we both have it or B. Stole the idea and called it their own which is most likely the case. Now it's fine that you like some of my ideas and want to copy them, but DON'T COPY THEM ALL THE TIME! This is one of the things that really annoy me. Even worse is when people think it's the copiers idea when in reality, it was mine, and I don't get the credit for my work. This passage was a very long passive aggressive rant, and if you're reading it, I think you know who you are. If you don't, well, consider it.

2. When people obsess over things compulsively. Liking things is fine but do you have to tell me about the every single day?
Example (let's use EggCave in this scenario) Morning. Me: Hi! Obsessor: *Whips out phone* EggCave-just-released-a-new-creature-this-is-very-important-I-feel-the-need-to-tell-you-about-it-right-here-right-now-it's-so-adorable. Lunch. Me: Wow, I have so much homework from History. What about you? Obsessor: Uh huh, yeah me too. But DID YOU HEAR? EGGCAVEJUSTRELEASEDANEWCREATURE! Me: Yeah, you said. Obsessor: I'm changing my phone background to it. Afterschool. Me: Whew, that Science test was stressful. Obsessor: OHEMGEE THE NEW CREATURE EGGCAVE JUST RELEASED IS SO ADORABLE! Me: You don't say.
See, it's fine to like things, but I don't want to be known as "That Kid Who's Obsessed With EggCave"
or "That Kid Who's Obsessed With Kpop" or "That Kid Who's Obsessed With Harry Potter" just because you are, and I am your friend. Stop.

3. My parents gave me two "inspirational" speeches this morning. My dad ended with, "You're a quitter, and you've always been one." My mom ended with "No one cares about you. They won't even notice." THAAAANNNNKKKKSSS SOOO MUCH. Pro tip: When talking to your child try to make them feel better instead of feel worse. I'm not going to my parents for advice anymore.
