Hey there, all...
About the last post: thanks for the comments. :) I'm not interested really in being branded an 'eccentric', or being viewed as mysterious or weird or in any way abnormal. I'm definitely not as weird as I *could* be, especially given the company I keep. ;) I won't claim to be really all that interesting, either. But I *do* have behaviors that would be considered odd at first glance, they just make sense to me, and hopefully, make sense to everyone else after a brief explanation.
I'm just frustrated that there are a lot of people who seem to take things the wrong way. I don't really know what's going on these people's heads to give them this impression, but they're getting it anyway, getting cheesed off, or standoffish and it bugs the crap out of me.
I don't like crowds. I've said this time and time again. So if I leave a crowded area, or feel uncomfortable in any way, it's not a personal thing; for some reason crowds just...aren't my thing. I never really liked them, and now my distaste for them is getting...more extreme. This in and of itself is a concern of mine and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. Just don't take it personally if you see me in a crowded room and I leave, that's it. Is that really *that* hard to understand?
I admit that I'm not perfect at all and to a lot of people my quirks make me not worth getting to know. That's fine, and I understand that. I don't expect people to put up with any more than they feel they want to. But damnit, a little understanding would be nice.
OK, that's that. It's out of my system.
