What am I doing wrong?
I just got called a "judgmental bastard" who "dictates" others "trying to force" her "beliefs and preferences" on them, and apparently I was the only person being "hateful" during the whole conversation.
So.. am I doing something wrong? Is it that people don't like me? Or maybe I don't have reasons valid enough why they shouldn't (not can't but shouldn't) say the h word.
I am starting to think that High School was probably not a good place to start. Almost everyone I know apologizes to me for using it only to please me. They don't really understand what the whole point of it is. They don't even try to refrain from using it when I am present. Some - including teachers - are starting to say it just to try to get a reaction out of me. If my friends won't listen to me, to what I have to say, who will?
Now, I don't mind people making fun of me. As a matter of fact, I couldn't care less what others think about me. I will not change the way I am nor will I abnegate what I believe in just to try and be accepted by society.
This is all a bit discouraging sometimes, you know? No matter how hard I try, people just don't seem to care; and while I may be down right now, I don't want all this to sound as if I'm giving up because I am not. I made a promise to a very special friend of mine and above all, I made a promise to God; and I intend to keep it no matter what it takes.
If someone would please be kind enough to tell me what I am going wrong, so that I could change it and reach out to more people, it would be very much appreciated.
I will conclude this post with a quote that while it is somewhat sad, it changed the way I look at things and gave me hope.
"Give the world the best you have and it will never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway".
