"You don't ask for help...You're so proud!"
"You are a lone ranger."
"You are so anti-social."
"You are the only one in the family who doesn't have a traditional family frame of mind."
I hear this a lot. Those statements make me think:
Just because I don't ask for help, how does that make me proud? I may not come out and announce to the world that I need help but that doesn't mean I'm not quietly asking for help from those who can help me. How does that make me proud?
How can a lone ranger have as many friends as I do?
Anti-social? I'm sorry, when you work with a bunch of people and you're constantly talking and moving, when you get home, the last thing you want to do is talk...How is THAT anti-social?
If my two older brothers are into the traditional family and I'm not, what happened during my life? Could it be that they always had their father around whereas mine was MIA? That's a possibility...
Everyone has a thought about who we are. It can come from a first impression or it could come from the side that we choose to show them, but does that make it valid? Is it accurate?
In many cases it's not.
Yet people constantly like to say those things to me...
And they wonder why I ignore them or stare at them with glassy eyes or with my mouth opened.
Pfft...

Staring wide eyed with mouth agape, is a reaction I strive to get from people my whole life. Or am I only saying that to impress you? You will never know unless you take the time and invest some risk by looking past the first impression.
Is a Millennium Hippie the same as a real Hippie. Just, displaced by time? Or is it some other pseudo reality weirdo; Looking for gratification?
