Outcasts Now

[PyroChamber]

For anyone who was pretty much a loner/outcast in high school, did you ever get out of it? And would you still consider yourself to be somewhat of an outcast today even after high school?

In my junior year I totally switched the crowd I hung out with from the sort of nerdy outcasts to the theater kids, who were all well liked.

Not really.
Just a weirdo I guess.

Not really, I mean if I redid highschool now, I'd have much better strategies toward establishing positive relationships, but I helped wreck my highschool experience by my disposition and paranoid mindset at the time.

Early on I was bullied, so as a self-defence mechanism I took on the oddball persona in order to push people away from me, so I have the habit of making off-kilter comments that still pushes people away.

Now that I'm in university, I see that most people around me have secure, established friendships that have been going on for years. I have a hard time breaking that barrier, no real time during class to start anything, and after I just go back home...

Conversationally I'm much more active on boards then with the handful of friends I have, but I still piss people off here as well.

I've always been my own man. I'm not saying I was a loner; I just didn't hang around with crowds - I had friends who were popular and friends who were geeks. It's pretty much the same now. I'm attracted to the person, not the group they are affiliated with.

I don't appreciate you taking the words out of my mouth like that.

I completely agree, mate. You are very clever and awesome

The day we don't see eye to eye... is the day that I'll get myself banned.

 

[Eggyman]

It's a deal. I disagree

 

[knowsbleed]

Don't dare me man!

I can't refuse a dare.

 

[Eggyman]

I was joking

I don't leave me

 

[knowsbleed]

You're lucky you didn't triple dog dare me.

That's impossible to turn back from.

I will have to remember that
