The song, that is. Wasn't thinking about it much, until I heard this song and read the
lyrics.
It's a cycle:
1. Mark gets to know person.
2. Person thinks Mark is funny, nice, assorted outside things.
3. Person gets to know Mark more and talks with him more.
4. Finds out that Mark has problems and whines about it too.
5a. Attempts to help Mark, or
b. Doesn't really do much, or
c. Run away.
6. Person realizes that his/her help doesn't do much, and Mark just basically talks about things he wants to improve on and things he wants to do, and person labels him as such - "talker".
7. Doesn't care about Mark as much anymore and treats him as "good friend", though person wouldn't want anything to do with his problems because he never does anything anyways, and they are disappointed in him and pities Mark.
8. Because people either feel that way, or Mark thinks his problems are exasperating people, since they are pretty much always the same, he slowly stops talking about his problems anymore and doesn't really know how to communicate it anymore.
Not intended to blame or insult anyone - really. Just an observation that I happen to see. Feel free to trash or comment on this post if you are unlucky enough to be one of the few out of the 6 billion people on earth who actually reads this stuff. kthx.
