Do you think you deserve to be loved?

What makes you worthy of it?

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. ]

[nilhilistic]

That means "when I feel like it".

[badsunrising]

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

[nilhilistic]

Isn't there always?

[badsunrising]

It's hard to explain. It's knowing when to compromise. Nobody else can really tell you. You have to decide when it's worth it.

[nilhilistic]

I see. I suppose I will know when it happens.

[badsunrising]

Yeah, you'll know. As long as you're willing to compromise in the first place.

[nilhilistic]

That is not difficult. I have compromised on worse things.

[badsunrising]

Then you should be able to manage it.

It may even help address your question. In time.
