As soon as someone does something that upsets me, I start considering what I could post on facebook/twitter that will point out their flaws and make them feel guilty. It's usually something sarcastic, because for some reason, I feel like it doesn't reflect badly on my character as long sarcasm and humor are involved. I mostly always convince myself not to do it. Then I start thinking that a blog might be better. Maybe others will identify with my frustrations and I'll feel better about myself and they will feel worse. In reality, they probably wouldn't feel guilty even if they knew it was about them. They would probably just get angry and what does that solve?

When I think about it, the sarcastic comments people post are just letting their insecurities show. Yeah I may initially find their comment clever/funny, but it takes a lot bigger of a person to actually just talk to the person who is bothering them rather than trying to get the internet on their side.

It's just so difficult to actually confront someone with what is bothering me. In the past when I've confronted someone, they have responded by letting me know the things I do that bother them. I like to think that I do no wrong, and I don't like my illusions to be shattered. Quite the dilemma.
