Re: I Wish
To Sahar02 - Judging by the length and depth of your post above you put a lot of thought into it. But based on that it also seems like the people involved are in close relationships with you. When you say “I have had to maintain relationships with girls like these,” are you talking about friends or closer relationships (ie: cousins, bhabis)? Can you be more specific?
I’m asking because I’ve had to deal with similar issues but these issues have only been important when dealing with very close family relationships. Either sisters, sisters-in-law, cousins’ wives…people I’m forced to interact with on a regular basis. I concur that relationships based on maturity, common personalities, and meaningful interactions are far more satisfying than those based on more superficial conversations, like clothes, or just gossipping about family members. However, there’s nothing wrong with having a light hearted conversation about boys and makeup occasionally. Most girls do, if you don’t like them for it, there’s usually another reason behind it.
Of course I love light-hearted conversation. I guess the difference is that for these girls, it feels like it isn’t light-hearted discussion, but rather a topic of real importance. I just can’t understand that.
