I would take the lesson from this: don't talk big without action, and be grateful to him that he's in your life, providing you with so many excellent examples of what not to do with your life!  |
It's not that I'm bothered by it, like... bothered as in "Oh I can't believe he's going to try to do that and leave me in the dust" sort of thing. I don't care about that at all, I'm just annoyed when he talks about things that clearly aren't going to happen. How would you like having a friend around that says all types of things that never occur. In fact, the only time this guy ever does anything is when I do it first, and that's not a lie. But I'll take your advice and just shrug it off, see how that works. Next time he says something similar to this, I'll just say "Cool, that's great."
Oh, and I know. He taught me a very important lesson, and that is that I don't talk about anything until it's done. I think his whole problem is that when you talk about something, you lose energy in the thing you're talking about because you feel like just by talking about it you're doing something. Talk and action are two completely different things.
