Come out of the Shell


You know the two questions I hate being asked, especially behind my back because people thinks I’m incapable of answering? Do you have a boyfriend? Are you autistic? (Seriously, I had someone ask that one before, a very rude classmate of my mom’s).

I will get myself a boyfriend when I’m good and ready. When my heart desires love, I will go find it, who know how but I will go find it when I’m ready. I went on Facebook a few days ago, it was the first time I logged in in several months. I changed my profile picture in addition to browse around the newsfeed to see what’s my “friends” (air-quote) are up to.

I had to sigh because it proves so much that I do not have a life. Most of my high school classmates have a husband, a family, and some already have kids. My former middle school bestie, she was considered the quickest of us all. She was married, divorced, and had a son at 20! It seems like I’m the only one that’s remained unchanged with no activities, still living at home, no life.

Just now, I got into a small argument with my mom all because I had to put the almond milk back into the fridge and she’s moving around like crazy. I was just about to close the fridge door and she’s there. She bumped into me. I said oops and she blamed me for bumping into her.

Then the subject went from that to why I don’t go out and social or why am I stuck at home all day. I didn’t answer. There is no good answer to this question. I don’t go out and social because well, I don’t want to; I don’t like to. I prefer to be by myself. Just because you like to social and meet people doesn’t mean I like to. Maybe that’s the problem. I am anti-social. I don’t know how to talk to people.

Someday though, maybe I’ll finally come out of my shell.

Yeah, like that

    1. And they didn’t do right to my face, they asked behind my back, that’s what pisses me off. Those people aren’t nuts, they are just plain rude.

  1. Well, you do a good job of talking here…and probably more people are listening here than there would be iif you were talking in person. Someone at my tenth school reunion asked me how I had the courage not to get married. I asked them how they had the courage to get married. By our fifteenth reunion, many of them were divorced. But our twentieth reunion, I still wasn’t married. By the twenty-fifth, I was one of the few who was married, for the first time, at least. Life ebbs and flows at different times for different people. Judy

    1. Thanks, you’re right, no one moves at the same pace as everyone else. And yes, I know that for a fact that more people are listening than in real life. Thank you for reading.

  2. Rude people are just that: rude.and you dont have to go out or be someone u dont like or want to,just because it is the social norm.sometimes it is just ok to be anti social..being social or outgoing is soo overrated sometimes.i get this questions often: why dont you dance in public functions,why dont you wear SLEEVELESS dress!! So there you are,rude people are just that.
