Do you think you deserve to be loved?

What makes you worthy of it?

[nilhilistic]

[ wow!! ]

I suppose that is true.

[badsunrising]

Which is why you just have to let people feel the way they feel sometimes. If they think you're worthy of love, who are you to tell them otherwise?

[divino]

Stop you from what? Hurting others here?
What reason would you have to do that?

[nilhilistic]

As the recipient, do I not have a say?

[nilhilistic]

Do I need a reason to cause harm?

[badsunrising]

You don't have to return the feeling. But you can't tell them not to feel it.

[nilhilistic]

Hm. Perhaps.

[badsunrising]

Some people can be very stubborn about their feelings. Nothing you do will convince them otherwise.

[nilhilistic]

Are you not the same?

[badsunrising]

[ INTERNAL SCREE ]

What do you mean by that?

[nilhilistic]

You strike me as much of the same. Am I wrong?

[badsunrising]

I can adapt.

[ Lies. Horrible lies. ]

[nilhilistic]

Is that so?

[badsunrising]

I haven't had much choice in the matter. As I said, I am used to dealing with some stubborn individuals.

[nilhilistic]

And how do you deal with them?

[badsunrising]

[ Let them steamroll him until the feelings get to be too much and he snaps and tries to murder them all. :x You know, normal things. ]

Compromise. And a lot of talking.

[nilhilistic]

[ wow so familiar. ]

Compromise?

[badsunrising]

I'm sure you know what a compromise is. You each concede something to the other. They agree to do something, you agree to do something.

[nilhilistic]

How often do you concede?

[badsunrising]

It depends on the concession and how much it's required to establish harmony. It can be subjective and situational.

[ Read: how much he cares about making someone happy. ]

[divino]

Why cause harm for no reason then?
What would that bring you but more grief and anguish?

[nilhilistic]

That means "when I feel like it".

[nilhilistic]

Perhaps that is who I am. That is who I've always been.

[badsunrising]

Not entirely. But there is an emotional component to it.

[nilhilistic]

Isn't there always?
