Tonight Carolyn and I were talking bout Warren again. Are we gossiping? We're venting our frustrations about him. I guess it is gossiping 'cus it's not helpful or building up to others. Well, it's kind of helpful. Carolyn and I are helping each to stay strong and not fall into the rut that we view as being attracted to Warren. Also, we're trying to not let his immaturity get to us. We both considered him one of our bestfriends for a while, and now, at the same time, we have both realized he doesn't know anything about who he is or what to do about that; he doesn't know how to help himself. So how can he help us if he can't even help himself?
*“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" -Mathew 7:3*
Even though that verse normally goes for people trying to tell ppl how to live when they don't live that way themselves, it works for this/our/my purpose this time also.
I guess C-lyn and I expected more out of him than we should; mostly because his body has matured so much faster than his emotions. I guess because we thought we were so close to Warren that he would be able to listen to us vent and talk about our emotions and have him effectively listen tous and truly care. It's not that he doesn't want to care, it's just that he's not ready for it emotionally. He's not at that point yet.
Now, I don't think he knows that, would believe it, or would want to believe it, But I think that's what's going on. Maybe that's one reason he plays the guilt-trip so well and tries to use his faith/the Bible to make others feel bad/wrong (he doesn't know how else to deal with situations or have others take him seriously). Also, he's compensating for something, but I don't know what. I think he likes to have gf's and surround himself with girls because it makes him feel superior to others, and like he's trying to prove something y doing that. Warren would be an interesting person to study psychologioly. But it would be to agravating for me to do.
Ugh, he'll somehow eventually understand. But in the meantime, he's made many really nice, respectable girls quite mad at him (and will probably make more of them)
