Bye to working, Hello to school life! (Duh)

I believe many of my friends had their last day (working) today.
Well, my final day will be tomorrow, and I was on all smiles to my colleague.

I sang, I clapped, I smiled, I laughed.

Okay, the reason of my euphoria is definitely NOT because I'm leaving my workplace! (In fact, I feel a sense of reluctance upon the thought of leaving my colleagues.)

However, I'm glad that I managed to FREE myself from someone. It started when he suddenly took the initiative and chatted with me, which lead us to become friends (sort of).

Well, the conversation went fine, or so I thought.

It was not until the later part of our conversation that I realised the way he talked really irked me. (So much for a FIRST BAD impression, huh?)

We had actually got to know each other for one day, and he started spouting non-common sensical stuff.

How much does he know? All I could see daily is his "Mr-Know-It-All" attitude, acting as though he knows a great deal of stuff. If that's a sign of trying to impress me, I would have to say its backfired, BECAUSE IT DISGUSTS ME TO A LARGE (or should I say MAJOR?) EXTENT.

So what if you have wider exposure and knowledge? Different people have different preference(s) and taste(s), which means WHATEVER interests YOU may not be of an interest to ME.
Listen, it does NOT take one who share the same taste(s) as you to be considered successful, get it?

When I first met you, I had already developed a sense of discomfort. The problem lies in your style of talking, the kind of "straightforward-ness" that NOT all people find it acceptable. Straightforward-ness may be good, but going overboard really does put people off. (Maybe some things are better preferred not to say out.)

I may just brush it off if its just a slip of your mouth, but saying the same insult-ive things over and over again is simply pushing my limit.

I don't need YOU to tell me what to do, nor do I need YOU to observe every movement(s) I make. Do you know how stressful it is for me to present myself daily while having a face-to-face chat with you? You make me self-conscious, and I feel every chat with you is equivalent to attending a "lifestyle lesson". Don't you know that the more you are trying to "teach" me, the more insult you are actually giving me?

Okay, I've got to admit that there is little improvement shown on your attitude from the first day I've known you, but I dislike the fact that you are trying to get physical.
I don't mind if you are treating me as a "HEY-WHATS-UP" friend, but please do TAKE NOTE that I am a FEMALE.

I know some friends DO play along with each other physically, beating each other joking-ly, etc.
But I dislike it that YOU are doing it EVERYDAY to me.

Honestly, I HATE people consistently touching my head. Not only that, you always shake me, and even sudden pinching of my nose. I AM NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOU. ONLY COLLEAGUES. Don't you think there is a certain border that we must maintain?

I'm FINE with that once in a while. BUT on a daily basis? Is that on purpose? EVEN MY LONG-TERM FRIENDS DO NOT DO THAT TO ME!

On top of that, you cannot seem to differentiate what SHOULD and SHOULD NOT be said. This is terrible because you will hurt people's feelings without you yourself knowing it. (On a side note, maybe a brain filtering system can be of help to you.)
Doesn't your brain process the things you talk? Things that you will embarrass your friends?

Please, for goodness sake, observe the sensitivity of the topic before spouting it out of your mouth as though it's your last opportunity to talk!

P/S: I won't be surprised if you are still having a single status few years down the road if you do not start changing. Take it from a lady's point of view and perception of YOU. If you are able to create such a bad impression on me, I believe it will for others, too.
I will never take this kind of guy as a boyfriend, not even in my consideration. Thank god I am only knowing you for short-term. And that's already more than enough.
