exes and ohs

i was looking through fb and i came across a girl who was once 'involved' with a friend of mine. i clicked through some of her photos and it seemed that she's now with someone else. from what i know he's the first one since my friend.

after seeing his photos i came to the conclusion that... he's kinda... let's just say it's an apparent fall in standards as compared to my friend. but then after thinking about it a little bit more, i realised that the difference between both guys isn't really that big, meaning that my friend is also... kinda...

i then wondered how should a person feel in such a situation? i came to the conclusion that it all depends on the size of one's ego.

an egotistical person would think that ah, that new guy is so shit, i was the best she could ever have, wtf is wrong with her, why is she going out with this guy?

the opposite reaction would be that if her standards are so low, what does that say about me? am i just as shitty?

and i guess a third kind would be that of a guilt-ridden person, thinking oh no, what have i done to her? i must have destroyed her to the point where she's just settling for whatever that comes her way.
