Cactus Chords

Has it ever happened to you that you are chilling out with your usual set of chums and they start chatting about something, you know you will be left a mere spectator to? Am sure each one of you must have gone through that at one point of time. It takes balls to admit, I know.

Anyone want to deny this?

If so, you must either have one set of dumb ass friends OR you are one of those losers that act as if you know what they are talking about OR read up on topics you have absolutely no interest in the previous night and make sure to pitch in while the talk is going on

If you fall under any of the above, then I am terribly sorry for you. I know and have witnessed people like this in one of the few friends circles I have been. It is indeed a shame when you have that inferiority complex overpowering your character till you end up becoming a complete different person on the whole.

OR you are in the perfect set of friends that, though speak about things you don’t know about, you feel comfortable as they make you feel comfortable (you are very lucky indeed).

I, on the other hand, blatantly accept when I don’t know something. It makes things much easier. I look at the bright side of things. If they are your friends then they wouldn’t mind your lack of knowledge. You, at the same time, can learn a lot from them and flaunt it elsewhere That’s how the circle of knowledge goes, if you didn’t know. There is no shame in accepting it. That is what friends are for. There is always that one Mr.Know-It-All in most of the groups. If he is one who has his head under the clouds, then he can be a good teacher and an even better friend. But if he is one with his head up his @$$ then there is nothing more turning off in that group than when he opens his gob.

But if you fake it, then you stand to fall in a lot of trouble.
You can be asked a question which you are expected to know and end up looking stupid OR
Say something totally out of context because that is all that you read upon.

When you are in such a group of friends, if the lack of knowledge in certain areas eventually ends up in your being left out, then its a sign, look for new friends. Coz these ones, do not like you for who you are….Simple!!!

Every person has an area of interest. It could be current affairs for one, cars for another, music and movies for another etc. So repect your friends for who they are and what they know. Impart knowledge, don’t disrespect its value, for, one day its going to come around and bite you in the ass so hard, you wont even know what hit you.

Cheers!!!
