I found myself to be a verbal and vocal person. No, I don't talk in every situation but if something is wrong and people won't own up to it, I will.
Now, if the person at the receiving end contests their actions and decisions against what should be right, I don't give up or back down. I will state my points till it resounds with everyone listening. Call it tenacity, I don't know.
For this reason, when people see me, they perceive in the light of a "difficult" person.
I've introduced myself to people and they are like "oh, so you're the one attacking xyz" and I'm like attacking? Couldn't y'all see how wrong those moves were and I was only trying to help the victims who wouldn't speak up for the nature or context of the situation.
I don't know if that makes me lose friends as someone who thought I was fighting her friend quit talking to me, not even the basic "Hi".
Guess what? Her friend is still my friend and we're still talking like nothing happened.
I will keep owning up to the rights, even if my friend is on the hot seat. That's not disloyalty, that is doing what is generally good.
An incidence happened recently, 4 of my friends were nominated and running for a position. One got so much nominations in percentage that she thought she already won and went to lounge.
Two were not interested really.
The other one worked tirelessly, disturbed my sleep, talked to people, went room to room.. basically, he put in the efforts.
Results came out and with his 2% nominations he won by 50% of actual votes. Talk about a resilient being.
Some people seeing the results came to say they weren't aware that voting has ended and want to vote.
Vote where? How? When results are out? Or do people write exams and after results are out beg to answer the ones they missed? Nah.. that doesn't happen anywhere.
Me, with zero interest in who won or what happens thereafter bought market o, and when to insist we stand on the existing results.
My friend is pissed with me, saying I'm against her.
The guy can't even say anything because he's the one the elections is hovering about.
The Eleco guy is in talks with me as to he way forward.
At this point, my only business is to see the right things done. Tomorrow, I'll go play in their rooms and get hugs when we meet at work. Power tussle can really be a thing.
I am not the enemy, I am not the Villain.
