Bad-mannered or half-witted ?
"I can't make out whether you're bloody bad-mannered or just half-witted."
[ Lawrence of Arabia ]
I decided I need to have a t-shirt with this quote. That way, people (especially university professors) won't have to crinkle their noses and wonder any longer. Because it's definitely one of the two options.
Well, generally, people do not wonder. They seem to decide on "half-witted". I really can't figure out why. Last week has been very depressing. Everywhere I went, whenever I said something (and even when I just wrote), people looked at me and treated me as if I was the dumbest person on this planet. Has that ever happened to you? Happens to me all the time. And the longer it goes on like that, the more I am tempted to believe they're actually right. Which would be positive I guess, because then I wouldn't have to get annoyed or disappointed anymore, I'd just relax and think "Yeah, you're right" and that would be it.
Right now, however, I still wonder what it is about me that makes people think I'm dense...
Yes, I know. Who cares what other people think? The problem is, they treat me like it as well. And for now I'm really not able to ignore that. It's driving me insane.
I just hope the next week will be better. Otherwise I don't know how to survive the rest of this semester.
