A little bit tired

I cannot be myself anywhere.

Yet the irony is that, I'm usually myself anywhere I go. And this "myself" is the one that constantly gets misread as trying to be difficult, mean, antisocial etc. I don't bother to explain much, but when I do, it just ends up misread further.

Now I don't mind the translation process that happens every single moment while I'm talking to people. Communication is actually a complex thing - or maybe it is, only for the minority.

I mind it though, that it turns personal. That people imagine that I actually have something against them. That I have too much time and mental capacity in my hands that I must be harboring ill thoughts against them every single moment of my life, like I'm so damn free and evil.

Then stop taking up all my time and calling me a good listener. I'm sure you spent time to talk to me - I'd like to let you know, listening takes time, effort and skills too.
