I hate the way, once you start to know someone, care about them, their behavior can distress you, even when it's unreasonable and not your fault, even if you were really trying to be careful, tactful.

About This Quote

What makes me most angry about the way is that you can't say something to someone and suddenly they can change. You can't just say, "I just want to be friends." And suddenly, you're not friends anymore. You can't say anything and suddenly they become the nicest person in the world. You hate the way they can do something and at the same time you love it. It's a double-edged sword.
