I'm just so beyond sick of being talked down to by people is all.

Yes. My dragons are pointless. Yes. Pageants are stupid. Yes. My interests are pretty lame.

But why do all you people have to be so fucking rude about it? Does it make you feel smarter? It's not HARD to be smarter or more interesting than ME so it's NOT an achievement.

Your interests are lame? I just wrote a poem about myself.

Look, Kara, I was teasing. If you want me to stop, I will, but...what I said to you I would've said to anybody else who asked the same question. When I start censoring myself for your benefit, that's when I'll be talking down to you.

Fine.

I'm just being difficult.

You're upset, and I could be wrong, but I don't think I'm solely responsible.

I wouldn't say I was upset, Alan. I'd say I'm having a DIFFICULT time which I am WORKING MY WAY through.

First of all, Kara, you can always talk to me. I realize I'm hardly the ideal confidant--you'd rather have a friend your own age to share problems (and successes) with--but please don't ever feel as though you need to fix a smile to your face or sugarcoat whatever's bothering you for my sake. You're never an imposition. Talking to you is never a chore.

As far as making friends goes, I think you should try and seek out people who share some of your interests. You're not going to like all of them, and they won't all like you, but at least you'll have something in common.
