The Perks of Being a Wallflower 5

After Patrick and his friend that he met at a party (Brad) were caught having sex by Brad's father, exposing the sexuality of the both of them, Brad decided to not keep the secret going and drop Patrick altogether. Not only did he stop talking to Patrick entirely, he made an effort to call him terrible names in regards to his sexuality. Isn't that sad?? It got so bad that Patrick became depressed and needed a lot of emotional support, which Charlie cheerfully gave. He would go with Patrick everywhere, to the movies, to the store, to the park... just to listen to him talk. Get all of his feelings out. And when I read this, it immediately reminded me of myself! I hate to talk so much about myself on my blogs (not really lol these are my blogs, after all...) but giving a lot of support is one of my better qualities. I'm a listener, not a talker, naturally...Something about sitting and absorbing information being given to me is really calming. But when I listen, I listen deeply and think through everything that is said to me. So many times I have been cut off, interrupted, ignored and blown off by people simply because they didn't have the energy to sit and listen to me in return. It's upsetting, but that is why I choose my moments to speak accordingly. Sometimes people just need someone to listen to them banter and get all their thoughts out smoothly. I have yet to find myself my own Bianca.
