The bottom line is some people just aren't going to like me

And i have to realize that it is to be expected, this turn of events when one word can hurt you. The judgemental eye harms my conscience. Instead, it should be an anticipated and normal event with limited power. An event which i can generally ignore. Its a good plan.

But this plan failed after Eve's perfection left and leaves remained. People are going to have different personalities. People are going to look across the room and think they understand you. People will judge. People will always hate the difference.

I have never been one to care what people think. Except when i let them close, close enough to where by heartwalls are paper thin. Thumb print bruise.

Then the tendency is to overreact and draw back trust. In theory, this reaction is unbeneficial. But it sure feels right.
