Not The Brightest Star

This is going to come across as harsh and completely rude. I apologize but I'm hoping someone out there will understand. Does anyone else have a friend that maybe isn't the sharpest tool in the shed? Now I definitely don't claim to be a genius or an Ivy league grad...but I have a friend that I get frustrated with on occasion. S/he is perhaps the world's kindest person and would do anything for anyone...and I truly and genuinely love this person. However, I feel like I just can't talk to them or have a meaningful conversation.
Is this making any sense? I guess what I'm trying to say is I get frustrated and am mad at myself for not having much patience with my friend.

I guess just keep focusing on the positives about your friendship and that'll make it easier to keep that frustration at bay! But don't feel bad for your honest feelings, ya know? It's your actions that matter most anyway, and I'm sure you're a good friend to her, too.
lol! I shouldn't laugh but this made me spit water. I totally just did a spit take. And no one was here to enjoy it.
On a serious note..I hope everything is ok.
We're ALLLLLLLLLL idiots sometimes!! It's when it's habitual then it's a problem.
i'm ok yes!
topic intergrity...yes M I know where you're coming from on this...similar friends indeed.
The more I think about it, the worse I feel (rightfully so).
I'm sorry that I was dense and just did not understand your plan for trying to elope with a rock star.

pfft...I shouldn't have expected you to. :rolleyes:
ok, that's good!
And woohoo! More spoonin' with stevie!
maybe it's different for girls...since we girls like to talk...and talk...and talk...and talk.
And this person is definitely fun to hang out with...and a genuinely great person.
i have different friends for different things. some i know i'm not going to have the most thought-provoking conversations with, but they have their traits that make me love them. now guys on the other hand...i just can't date a guy that's not smart/witty.
Wuhll..uh..Nic...you know...I wasn't going to say anything...
Hmm...excellent point.
oh what the hell! :eek:
Yeah, and she refers to her as "HM"!! LMAO!!
thread integrity, please, people.
I love you. Really I do.
yeah maybe. i do have a couple of friends I can talk to if I wanted to, but they are girls.

i know what you mean
it bugs me to have to 'dumbmyself down' to talk to certain people
ps- i think it was me who started the intials HM. i just couldnt deal with writing hannah montana that many times... for real
I would appreciate someone like that... although, I suppose, the conversations would more or less need to kept towards the simplier things in life. Sounds like the type of person it would be fun to take to places like Art Museums and tide pools... you know, as learning experiences.
Hail, Hail!!!
That makes perfect sense. I had a friend like that as well. Basically I just figured out a balancing point between us. I mean he had nobody around for a while, and I was the only guy that stuck around with him. We were roommates for basketball on roadtrips so I got to know him and everything really well and it just lasted.
However I had to learn to be a close friend from a distance with him and realize that just when I needed a night out for fun without thinking and just being immature and stupid for a night was the best time seeing him, but then making him come to me only when he really needed me. I just became busy with other things, rather than spending every day hanging out.
After a couple days of hanging out, it just became way too frustrating. He was the kind that thought he was amazingly smart, but just wasn't all there, so it became hard to even refute anything with him, so I would just let him go on. His family is the greatest though. They're all brilliant in their own ways, and then they had him.
I guess I just lucked out and found that balancing point, although the older we get now, the farther the gap between the times we talk/see each other.
