My best friends are Mary Sues (9)

1 Name: Amewarashi : 2012-10-26 03:02 ID:Ghc5jmWj [Del]

At first i didn't know there was a thing called "Mary Sue". But let me tell the story of my best friends first.

I love my best friends. They were the only ones who understood about my anime. I met then when I transferred schools in my second year of high school. But we didn't get close until the end of the year. In junior year, our friendship bloomed. We had a lot of obstacles because people called them weird. It made me sick. They were called the "goody-two-shoes" of the class. The popular stereotype of "student-who-reminds-the-teacher-there's-homework" type. But at that part, I didn't care. No matter how many times I were told not to be friends with them anymore, I took their side.

I became their certified best friend when i realized my ex-best friend was really mean. She made me choose between them. And she told me lies about how bad my two best friends were. But I know she was lying, because her stories had "witnesses" and when I asked these so-called witnesses, they had no idea about her "story". Of course, I left her, she was a lying douche. All junior year, I defended them from the rumors my ex-best friend made until it all died down.

But in our senior year, (note that my country has four years of high school, i know some countries don't) I noticed something weird changed. When all the trouble was out of my head, something came in. I felt weird around my best friends. I noticed they had always the "kyaaa-kawaii-desu" stereotype. And I found it hard to admit that they were becoming annoying to me. I thought I was being mean, I bottled up my feelings but then the annoyance slowly turned into anger. I was about to burst. I tried distancing myself. I asked "Why am I so mean?". I hated how they say "eh??" and other annoying stuff... and how they love talking about their "advantages" and cliches and never listen to mine. They were taking anime in a whole kind of way. I stopped watching anime, because they were copying every "kawaii" and "oh-a-klutz-is-such-a-turn-on" moves.

I had hurt them both, I got into a silent treatment from each of them at different periods.

But we became best friends still, for good old times.

We graduated and got separated in different schools. I got some good time away from them, and let loose. I calmed down. But then I saw this site on tumblr about Mary Sues. They were the first people that came in to my head. The "I'm-so-special-ohehmgeezz!" stereotype. And i loved that site, I loved how I finally found people who felt the same as I did. They hated Mary Sues. And so did I.
But I love my best friends. I am happiest when we're goofing around together. But suddenly Mary Sue comes in, and I hate every f*ing moment I have to listen to them talk about themselves. They talk about the many boys who ask for them. They keep asking me how they should turn them down. I give them the greatest advice I could give but they don't f*ing do it! They say they feel bad for the boys. "Help please"... I already told them what to do but they don't do it. They seem to like the attention from the boys and from people who give them advice. And think how much it must of a "tun-on" to fail at the advice they were given. >:/

I could rant on and on... but I don't want to admit that I hate my best friends. I love them. i can't imagine my high school without them. How do I deal with this? Because if I express my feelings, I'm going to be the one who comes out mean. I don't like Mary Sues, but my best friends are Mary Sues. ARRGH!! Now i know why my other classmates said they were annoying.

If your best fried really was a Mary Sue, you wouldn't find them annoying.

How about you find some more regular people who don't sound like bitches that I wouldn't hesitate to sear the eyeballs away from?

Lol, the only regular people I ever met don't really understand my styles. It's like, I crack an anime joke and nobody gets the reference at all.

Ah. I think you've mixed up the terms a bit.

Mary Sue refers to a character in a story who has special snowflake syndrome and undue amounts of attention from other characters and even the plot itself. What you seem to be describing are simply weeaboos. There's even a tumblr for that, too! However, tumblr is down at the moment. Just look up weeaboo stories later.

I might be wrong, but I've honestly never heard someone actually called a Mary Sue in real life. By definition, they're unrealistic characters that get treated as if they're normal. In this case, these are unrealistic people that are treated as if they're unrealistic. I highly doubt much of what they talk about is actually true (concerning being popular and shit), especially if they're the sort to even use the word "kawaii" out loud and unironically.

Attention whores, special snowflakes - these are things rational people often outgrow to some extent later on in their life, and if they don't do so then they honestly aren't worth putting up with. If you can manage to articulate what about their behavior sets you off, I'm sure they'd listen if they were really your friends. A friend's job is to let their friends know about their bullshit, after all.

>>3 I hate to say this, but if the only thing you can talk about with people is anime, then you have some serious issues here. No wonder you don't have any other friends, because you can't even relate to other people about other things.

What is it with this site and all of these socially retarded people? I don't get it. Am I the only one here who isn't emotionally or socially stunted in some way or another. Just, you know, being a normal person?

I see. I get it now.. Thanks for the help! I appreciate it.

>>5
I have other regular friends too. I can actually open up to them more. It just feels good to goof around with people who understands anime.

>>6
I guess there are more people out there who have problems with social life. :/
Nevertheless.. I don't have a hard time being with others, I just wanted to know how I can deal with my closest friends in a not-so mean way. Misuto explained a lot to me. I thank him/her for that.

Eh. Generally speaking when I don't like someone I make a point of not being around them. But if you like them but kind of hate them at the same time I myself aren't sure what to do even though I've been through the same thing in a way.

My regular friends pick on them sometimes, and talk bad about them from behind their backs. They feel bad though especially when I hear their conversation. Some of them really talk to me personally about their problems with my best friends.

I did try to defend them.

But i can't defend them from everyone can't I? Especially with the people who don't have the guts to talk to me or those who won't even bother.
