He stopped, and listened to her tirade. And pretty much immediately wanted to excuse himself and avoid her like the plague for the rest of the journey. He had a tendency to pick up Crazy, and this chick set off even his warning bells before it was too late. Generally he didn't pick up on it until after he'd been dating someone a while. This one though--talk about flashing lights and sirens.
He took a moment to figure out what to say. "Maybe if you don't want pity or for people to not feel bad for you, you should stop playing the pity card ever five seconds. Since we met, you've brought up your sad story in one way or another at every opportunity. So if people feeling bad for you isn't what you're going for? Stop presenting yourself in this sad, pathetic light constantly. It's the same thing with the constant apologies, or the 'oh, my boyfriend and best friend were cheating on me but it must be my fault' bullshit." he said. He wasn't snapping at her, his tone wasn't harsh, but he wasn't pussyfooting around, either. He was on a fucking vacation, he didn't really need crazy dumped on him at the first turn.
"I mean even now, you're still telling a complete stranger that you haven't even known for more than an hour your entire life story, and all the badness in it. You can acknowledge that your 'I suck' points of view are attributed to other people, yet apparently still just go along with it. I don't know if it's just a matter of habit, or if you're just trying to get people to disagree with you to make you feel better about yourself. I don't know you well enough to make that call, all I know is that you're doing it." he said. "Another point? Don't push your issues with them and the fact that they were assholes on everyone else. I'm not Daniel, or Sarah, or anyone else. So fuck you with your little 'I learned to take comments negatively'. Think for yourself. Don't treat me like them, especially when you have the presence of mind to figure out that that isn't the case and you were being manipulated."
He paused for a moment then finished up. "I am sorry for the fact that you've apparently had a shitty life full of manipulation and being put down. But I don't really want to deal with it. I have my own issues and problems, and I? Am on vacation. If you need someone to talk to, I suggest more therapy, not random strangers. I wish you the best and hope that that work in progress thing works out for you. But honestly I don't need this shit. I just wanted a cigarette and to look around, not to deal with a whole host of issues dumped on me and to have someone automatically viewing me in the worst light possible, just because. I don't really deserve it, so...have a good rest of the day. I would prefer if I did not see you around." he stated, as politely as possible, before he turned to head off, hopefully alone.
