Sad, but true... Can't wait till after HS where I can meet new people. I was such an introvert few years back in HS.

That's what some people don't understand. Like I DON'T want you give my life story to you, just deal with it. Yet, some people take offense to that.
For real, I never understood why my some of my friends always constantly like company. I've come to the point where, my friends know that Ilike being alone. I tell them straight up when I get invited to their parties that I wanna chill at the house, watch a movie, or listen to some music. I havea pretty good close-knit circle of friends that know I get wild and have fun, but they also know I like to go do things by myself. Especially on Sundays, Ijust go on my own journeys and enjoy the nice weather. Lately though, I've been having random conversations with people at the store and stuff. I figuredwe're all human, and if I hear something funny, or entertaining, I'm gonna react.

See, that's the most important thing is having people that respect you for you, that KNOW you and accept you. That's a big problem I hadin college because I went down there by myself. I made a few (3) good friends that I'm still friends with today but along the way, I picked up a lot of"friends"/shallow acquaintances. Superficial friendships + my personality + their personalities= not much with the fun.

%%@+ got kinda hectic after I moved in with a few friends from the dorms into an apartment. Everything was all good for the first couple months. We always hung out! Went to the mall, the movies, dinner, out to the clubs and bars... I wasn't really in my introverted mode at at first but one day I guess I picked the wrong time to not want to be social.%%@+ kinda went downhill from there and it was clear that they were offended by my need to be alone and they thought it had something to do with them. We talked it out and I thought we had an understanding but nothing ever changed. It was really...something. lol
That's why I hold on to my few little friends. Most of my friends are friends from jr. high in addition to my college buddies. It's hard being grown trying to meet and get used to new people, esp. when you don't want to be bothered.

Around 3rd grade my pops hit me so hard cause the teacher called him and told him I was talking too much in class.
He used to drink alot.
He beat the crap out of me so bad that I became unconscious when he started hitting me on the head with the belt buckle.
After that I never really talked or cared to talk to anyone at home. I barely talked to kids at school.
Was like my own little vow of silence.
I worked it off over the years but it did scar me....bad.
And it didn't help that we lived in bad neighborhoods, had no real family around and that I was an only child.
That was just one little chapter of the crap I went through as a kid. I still have bad dreams and cry about my crappy childhood sometimes.
And people like my girl really just don't get it when I tell em "You'll never understand what a tortured childhood I had"
