Quarter Life

So, I've never been good at confronting people, whether it's telling someone what you want out of your job, telling someone they're being a dick or just telling someone that they've hurt my feelings. It's always been my biggest weakness. Well, I don't know what has happened to me in the last week and a half, but I'm starting to confront people, like immediately. And it doesn't even phase me.

Now, don't get me wrong, if I don't care about you, I'm not going to use any energy to confront you, but if I do care about you, I will.

Confrontation #1 "Hire me!"
Called a particular office and basically said, "Hey, I'm willing to wait tables for the next 3 months until there is a job opening, but you need to call me when you get an opening, because I've been trying to work there for the past 2 years, and I probably have more passion then half the people who work for you".

Confrontation #2 "Shut the hell up"
Emailed a person I thought was a friend of mine, but that I heard was talking shit and basically told her to stop talking about me period.

Confrontation #3 "Get over yourself"
Asked a friend to stop avoiding spending time with me because he hates one or several of my friends. Told him that it's starting to hit me personally and that he can't just blow off celebrations like my birthday because there's a person present who pissed him off 8 months ago.

I think/hope this is good for me, especially since I've always been such a damn wuss about everything. But the way I see it, if someone is doing something to hurt me, or there's something that I want, I need to speak up, or else I'm just going to dwell on it and nothing is ever going to come of it.

Ah...becoming an adult...
