Welcome to a new series of my work titled, Birdwatching people. Where I use my lack of social skills to secretly observe the kinds of people there exist; what irks me about them; their weird traits: and things one could learn from them. Its birdwatching season. (replacing birds with humans) So, lets begin....
Today we'll be discussing about the Meethi churi, A.K.A. Someone who'd use you for your talents by sweettalking and acting like they're your BFF, and not return the favour when you need them for their talents.
I think all of us have at one point of time met someone like this, John Doe, appearing out of the blue, with their signature extra and frankly irritating tone of speech, beaconing out to you, "Heyy Bestiee" followed by whatever they came up to you for.
There's actually a post I came up on Instagram just as this whole experience took place with this certain John Doe. Attached Below-
Exactly this. Its like they are the authors of the said book. They Embody the "use and dispose" principle so well when it comes to other people.
See, Its very easy to recognise these kind of people. some of the signs that you are dealing with them are as follows-
They leach the energy from you. The fake Positive energy is so exhausting to be around. once they're done with whatever they want from you, off you go, and they go around leaching off the next victim.
They always seem to only want to be friends with materialistically rich, and people with high influence due to the obvious fact that they have a lot to offer this person. If you aren't the said person of high influence, John Doe will have nothing to do with you.
If by any chance, you are friends with this John Doe, and have nothing to offer, the said person is only keeping you around to compare you with him as an ego boost and consolation to feed his false sense of superiority (that they know how to hide very well, covering this sense of superiority with Artificial sweetness)
When you go up to them to ask of any help, or take their opinion, they leave you on read, ignore your message, or do any of the activities to show that your request slipped off their mind. You know its a lie. They're just the kind of people who'd have no trouble asking you for help, but not reciprocating.
They're just so fucking extra, it makes you feel physically sick.
They're all about one-upping anyone else to be the limelight of the crowd. "You do something well? Oh I can do it better. I can do this, this , this too.
A song captures the 6th point better than I ever could, here's its link-Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)."
I think its because of a lack of attention received as a child. I am the same way, so I can relate to John Doe regarding this. Obviously not promoting this post on my social media, for obvious reasons. so, if you came across this post, congratulations you've subscribed to my email notifications, or if you came here by chance, Its fate telling you that you're dealing with a meethi churi in your life at present. (or maybe its the algorithm that's smarter than you are to know what's happening to you before you know it yourself)
Anyway, this was good, gave me a chance to vent out my frustration of being a victim of being stabbed by a meethi churi. And with that, I conclude my Episode 1 of Birdwatching People, Savdhan Rahe, Satark Rahe.
