Insert: reality.
What I've learned to realize is people will stop trying to act all nice as soon as the barrier is broken, or as soon as they don't feel tied to social interaction.
School, especially high school, is fake. Smile, pretend to like the person you're talking to. Feel like you're important for the moment you can carry on a conversation about how cool a stupid band is, or how much you hate your math teacher.
I'm trying to stop the pretending. I'm trying to open myself up enough to let myself be judged by the low assholes around me and NOT care. Its petty how people will talk shit about other people just because its "entertaining" for that very minute.
So I'm trying to break down my own barriers to put some new ones up, so maybe I'll see the truth when its staring me down.
