[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 402605"] Wow. While I did (still do) have social issues, I keep realizing what really good friends I had/have. A lot of them were also "quirky" kids, from all walks of life. They helped me develop the boldness that can sometimes propel me through some awkward situations and the attitude to (mostly) not care if someone didn't like me. They accepted me, quirks and all, taught me a lot about a lot of different things, and didn't get me in too much trouble. I had one close friend in the "popular crowd" in middle school that years later told me she had admired me. I was floored. She said "You had the courage to be yourself no matter what other people thought. I always felt I had to wear certain brands, act a certain way." (I also heard from other sources that if someone said something nasty about any of her friends, including me, she would get in their face and tell them what's up, so I think she underrated herself) I don't think I told her that WAS my defensive mechanism. I pretty much was the type that if you obviously didn't like me, I would do my utmost best to make you so uncomfortable that you would avoid me. Including bringing the worm I dissected and saved in a jar of alcohol to lunch and would set on the table. The girls thought it was cool, the guys were grossed out, LMAO. [/QUOTE]
