I find myself...

I used to be of that opinion until I found out that other people's opinion of you can potentially have huge consequences for the course of your life. One of the most important things I've realized in becoming an adult is that humans are social creatures and, by themselves, don't amount to much. Even inspiring historical figures had to convince people to follow or support them. Even the things that you can accomplish on your own are very often only enabled by work that has been done by others. If you piss off those who are in a position to help you reach your potential, you won't make nearly as much progress in life as you would have otherwise.

So be careful.

this is a good point, learn from your elders and those with experience etc but i think you'll understand when i say, some people you run into in life, really arent worth listening to.

Yeah, I agree. The hard part is figuring out which is which.

There are two versions of yourself: Your version, and everybody else's version. Each decision you make affects one or both of these versions. You have to find a balance between what YOU want and what OTHERS want. You might wanna wear pajama pants to school tomorrow, but you probably wouldn't do that for a job interview, right?

Also, if he is your best friend, he'll drop it in favor of your friendship. I know that's kinda cliche, but its so true. Just tell him "Dude, lets just agree to disagree. I wanna be friends." If he doesn't like that, then he doesn't like you. In my experience, people who don't treat their friends well usually only have them for the ego/social-status boost that comes from having someone who just lets them do as they please.
On the other hand though, it really sucks to lose someone you liked. Sometimes you gotta just let them win, and hope they were just being a dick temporarily. If its as "dumb" and "stupid" as you say, I'm sure you would have no problem letting him have this one.

Its 2AM and this post makes sense.

It's actually a she which is why theyre being so petty about it (Call me sexist i call it realist). Ill explain what happened in the topic just cause a lot of people are commenting on it with "if this and that" so itd be easier just to do it this way so people know what I mean.
