Knowledge of the Human Species

You may think you know someone inside out... but in reality... there is a limit of how much you actually know this person. As I spoke to my friend about how I've been feeling lately, she told me one thing that I was shocked to hear... she is suffering from bipolar as well. From that, we automatically got into a conversation toward my feelings and anxiety. I guess I can say she has highly influenced me to open myself up and let pain be a positive thing and not a negative. She made me see things that I never really saw before and she made me realize that pain is healthy because you learn from it. Anyway, sooner or later we got into this conversation about "boy/ girl" relationships and how hard they can be. Well, she too knows this boy in particular and in her eyes he is much more different now than he was before. But then again, how much can a person really change? Anyway, I learned that this "boy" felt the need to seperate us because of the known conflict between her and him. For a while, and I highly do apologize for this, I really thought she was being unfaithful as a friend because she kept something so bonded away from me. But I guess I was the fool who should have known better. Like she said, I just should have asked. But I felt as though considering he was so close to me, that I shouldn't betray him like that. Yet, instead of betraying him, I betrayed her. In my eyes, I see him as a complete different species, I found it hard to forgive him after he told me about their "bond" and I found it hard to forgive her because of her unfaithfulness. But in the end I could never forgive him for being so selfish and putting his needs first. I have learned that the male's mentality is completely different from females. They would do anything to make themselves look like a "big man" whereas females like to keep it civilized. Then again, how many females are actually "civilized" young women?
