My Frail, Evil Aura

[Zeruiah]

I'm not a very relatable person, and I'm well aware of it. However, I always thought that my facade reflected my personality to a reasonable extent.

Since sometime in January, I've unintentionally overheard a myriad of unwanted comments about me, like "he's such a kiss-a**," "he's so weird," and, if that wasn't enough, varying predictions on how quickly I'd be bludgeoned to a bloody pulp if I fought whatever Johnny, James, or Sally people pit me against, especially from friends (!); and people have almost unanimously voted for me on certain yearbook titles like "most rebellious," "most likely to have an affair," and "most likely to never come to a high school reunion."

Obviously, people think I'm weak, weird, callous, obsequious and rebellious.

I do agree that I'm a little deviant from the norm, and I have nothing against breaking the law with honorable intentions, but weak? callous? obsequious? I actually think I'd defend myself pretty well if I had to, I believe that my intentions are, for the most part, very good, and I hate playing social games of bootlicking, especially if I actually like the person. I think I'm the opposite: I'd rather play some Russian Roulette with my life than do anything that would make me weak, callous, or obsequious.

And all this time I thought I kept a pretty straightforward image...

Have any of you felt this way? Of course you have. Please share.

Yeah but playing 'Russian Roulette' with your life can be easily (mis)interpreted as weird or rebellious. Maybe those people are exactly right about you.

EDIT: Actually, you're right--people are right for thinking I'm weird/rebellious. I even admitted it in my post!

In any case, I didn't mean for this thread to be comments on my experience, but stories from other people. I'm sure you have a funny story you can share that we can all have a good laugh about.
