Current Mood: Self Explanatory
Current Song: Ordinary People by John Legend
I had dinner with the ‘brother’ of mine, Tompoq. I was having my ‘sharing session’ with him. The talk go something like this…
Me: Abang, i have problem.
Tompoq: Masalah pe?
Me: A friend of mine ade masalah ‘friend jelousy’ syndrome. Mcm aku dulu la
Tompoq: Tu bukan masalah. Ko je yang bermasalah dengan diri ko
Me: I know. But aku recover dengan ok skrg ni. Masalah member aku ni is die take this matter really seriously. Die boleh get really distracted by this issue.
Tompoq: U just have to let that person know that the problem she/he had right now is not a problem of anyone. It is the inner problem.
Well, the conversation goes along way but i have to say yang i am agree with ape yang tompoq cakap.
I will tell u my part of story.
I had this syndrome during 2008 when a friend of mine (a girl) get closer to one of my good friend (a boy). Aku jenis yang if i love my friends, i love them as much as they love me. Since i love my good friend ni too dearly, aku jadi sangat pissed off when ade org lain like try to take away what i have.
Nak dijadikan cerita, the girl became a bit closer to my dearie friend ni. The 1st thing that came to my mind bile i dapat tau is ‘betina ni mesti nak amik tempat aku dalam hidup mamat ni’. Gua jadi extremly bengang beb. I know i have no reason to think like that but bayangkan la if everyday people ask u, ‘betul ke mamat tu couple dgn minah tu?’, ‘aku nmpk dorg keluar clubbing berdua’, ‘aku jumpe minah tu tengah makan dgn mamat tu’, the list of questions and statements can goes all the way long but yang paling sakit sekali is when people cakap cmni kat u, ‘ko kan rapat dgn die, die x ckp pape ke?’ and this statement, ‘lepas ni ko dah xleh la nak berkepit dgn die 24 hours. Die bakal berpunya’. As a really close friend to the guy, ape korg akan rasa if someone attack u like dat? Bengang kan.
That’s what i gone through every single day when they started being close. I literally hate the girl so much, i can’t even expressed it in a word. I tends to avoid her or having conversation with her. I avoid the boy too.
Do u guys know how this feel? Korg xtau and xkan tau and xkan faham becoz u are not me. U never been in my shoes to experience what i felt. Cume org yg berada dalam situasi ini je yg faham mcm mane rasenye ko hilang member baik ko. Its more painful than losing ur boyfriend. Seriously. Aku dah pernah rasa both of the losses. It is sucks like hell ok! I don’t wanna go through the same phase anymore.
What i do after that was take a time to think and reflect on what have i done and why all of this happen.
I do realize it is due to my stupidness of thinking that she will replace my place in the guy’s life. By avoiding him or her, the problem will no resolve at all. I take my time of being away from him. Tak lunch dengan the guy. Tak lepak with him. Don’t bother to talk to him unless if he wanted to do so. It is agony, i know but i can’t think any other good way to make me get used to the fact that he has someone else besides me.
I know this problem is an internal problem. Believe me. But as a human, we have right to express our feelings kan? There are times where i become so angry with myself because taking this matter so seriously. My brain says no but my heart says yes. Sometimes, i’m such a emotional person. I don’t think rationally, especially when it’s come to feeling. Really hate this part of me.
Right now, i can honestly say that i am still hate the girl. I know she does not make any wrong. The problem with me is once u annoy me or u interrupt my fucking life, especially the private life of mine, i swear to God, i can hate u with all my life. I can seat and talk to her. I know i am faking it but even how much i hate her, it doesn’t change the fact that the tragedy has happened. She has her own life that does not include me and i have mine which does not includes her even though we have the same clan of friends. I know some of my friends like her more than i. I accept that openly. At least, i know who’s my friends and who’s my foes.
So, instead of hating her, i just end up not to bother about her anymore. It is such a nice feeling after all.
U guys must be asking why i didn’t ditch my guy friend as well kan? Because i can’t do that. I known him for 3 years. I shall not sacrifice my friendship for a stupid jealousy problem. Thank God that i have a really understanding friend. I heart him for that because he knows me too well to hate me on what i have done to him and the girl.
Tompoq told me this, ‘Ko kena buat member ko tau yg die xde hak nak buat pape pun kalo member die tu nak couple ke or xnak jadi member die ke because people comes and goes. She/he has to learn to accept that fact. Simple’.
Yeah, it sounds easy to say rather than do it. Truthfully, i have not learn to accept that fact yet. To me, its kinda scary to know that u gonna loose someone so dear to u, plus if u loose it in the ugly way.
To whoever facing this kind of situation, i just wanna say good luck in facing it. The cure for this syndrome is u, urself. No one else can make u feel better besides urself. Just try to see the bright sight of things. It hurts. I know but at least, u learn that anything can happen in this world. We sometimes forget that the ‘jodoh, pertemuan, ajal, maut di tangan Allah s.w.t. Try to appreciate anything and everything surrounds u so that u won’t feel that u are walking alone in this big universe.
p/s: sorry for the rambling. Kalo ade sesape terasa pun, saya mintak maaf ek. To the girl, if u reading this, i am so sorry that we ended up this way. I wish i could be different but since u have no intention to make it more than just acquaintance, i shall remain myself the same way as i am before i met u.
