I don't get it.

I've always been a loner. I am much more comfortable with a book, or watching a movie, or at my computer than I would be at a party. That isn't to say I hate people, its the opposite really. I love people, but I don't understand them, no matter how much I try or pretend I know what is going on.

I have also never been described as emotional, or passionate about anything. But those that do get described that way always seem to be faking it, as I see it. I see a world where a girl is more likely to go for a guy that has a good job than a guy who can talk to her as a real person. Where your paycheck decides who you can talk to, and who you can't.

When I started working at Outback, I bussed tables, and my interactions with the servers were usually cold and without respect. Then I am promoted, and all of the sudden, these people who bossed me around were suddenly friendly with me. Now I am cool enough to hang out with them, but why? I'm still the same person I was. Now, my customers, they act happy to see me when I remember their name/what they order/the car they drive, but its all bullshit. I am not their equal.

Fuck that, and fuck you too. You can take your status based society and put it somewhere. Am I the only person that doesn't think about economics or logic when I talk to someone? I'm not a lesser person because I don't make six figures or drive a Lexus. So I'd thank you to not treat me like that.
