Hypocrisy

Wilted flower

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is ~Voltaire

This is the last post about Gen Y, thank goodness. The episode had finally ended with a long overdue phone call. Gen Y would avoid a phone conversation like plague with every lame excuse, so all communication had been via msn. Hey, who could best the all time excuse with "mom is around, so I can't talk"?

As per my earlier post of the suspected dyslexia Gen Y was afflicted, nothing meaningful could get across via msn. What's worse, Gen Y would evade any question or embarrassing and awkward moment with an icon. It's simply maddening.

In order to clarify things, a phone call was in order. With no icon to hide beneath, you could hear the fidgeting and the unease when Gen Y was asked a direct question. Gen Y reacted by ranting off in a speech so fast you could only catch snippets of it, with the sole aim to diffuse the question and hang up as quickly as possible.

As it was not possible to avoid confrontation, Gen Y began to say things that were downright selfish, irresponsible and hurtful. You could hear all the defensive mechanisms roaring at full capacity. Out of weaponry, Gen Y finally resorted to projection. Your fall from grace, in his eyes, was caused by you exposing his hypocrisy.

If you could only be contented with Gen Y hiding behind an icon, then it would not be necessary to end everything. Your phone call had unmasked the real feelings and attitude. Remember, it's all your fault. Right.
