the "Great Perhaps"

Ciao bella gente,
Today was a terribly tiring day for me. I didn't even do much but I felt extremely sleepy.
There are so many things that irritate me. Let's just give an example of that one particular situation where someone is very nervous to do something; to the point where they are close to tears. When they finally do bring themselves to do it everyone cheers and exclaim words of how amazing they were. During that time I am the person who sits back and simply claps. Not because I thought that they were "amazing", but because they finally had the courage to do it.
It may be my personal point of view but that person was not as "amazing" as people were telling them. Do you know what I think those people were doing? Pity talk. That is what I describe it as. I hate people who give others pity compliments. If I were to get 65% in a test, I don't want people telling me I did very well. If they had to say something, tell me I did bad or not speak at all. I don't know how to describe the feeling I get when people do that and why it upsets me but I get so annoyed when I hear it.
Ahh, I've started reading
"Looking for Alaska" by John Green. I'm 45 pages into the book and I don't really like it. It may be the fact that the characters smoke and I hate smoking with a passion but I will tell you that another day. So many of my friends have recommended it to me so I guess I'll continue reading.
Lots of love,
M x
