Public opinion is a tyrant

magicmolly:

This is probably because I was so often paralyzed in social interactions, unable to think of anything to say or do. In fact, a good amount of the time I passed alone was spent stocking up on Things To Say.

I was not that smart, but then again I would never have been able to use the notebook without making an even bigger fool out of myself. Sneaking in any way is not in my system. Being social is to fall apart, to say stupid things you’d funny at the time and in hindsight realize it was the worst thing to say ever, and never really coming across as a whatshallwecall it… real person? It’s awkward Pinocchios all the way — stiff and erratic body-language and embarrasing details..
