+172 You find it extremely contradictory (and kinda funny) when kids don't show up to school for extended periods of time because they claim "they don't have friends", but if they actually showed up, they would make friends! Open mouth. Insert foot. Amirite?

What is "Open mouth. Insert foot"

by Anonymous 13 years ago

its a similar expression to shooting yourself in the foot...it pretty much means contradicting yourself and screwing yourself over...

thats not true. its usually people who have tried making friends and have been ridiculed.

Don't judge unless you've been down that road. I'm a very shy person, so making friends isn't my strong point and it's very hard for me. I have lots of friends now, but when I was a freshman, I had 1. It's not as easy as just going to school. You have to be a sociable person.

For some people it's just not that simple.

If you're really the kind of person who makes friends that easily, I don't think you'd understand. ._.

I understand it's not always easy for some people to make friends, so I disagree with part of your post, but the OP is right in that you don't have to be a truant just because you have none.

This is why I think its SO IMPORTANT to join a sport or club or something in high school. especially as a freshman. You meet so many people that you are bound to make some friends.

Wait, so you insert your foot in the mouth of people you want to be friends with? I finally understand.

Do people honestly use the excuse "I haven't got any friends" as a reason to ditch school? I've never actually heard that . . .

I have before. It was just 1 day, but I've still done it.
