Blatherings:
When you're on the internet, you realize certain stereotypes apply very fiercly, and yet at the same time they do not. For instance, a typical "nerd" could be everything you expected, the same voice as you hear in your head, the same subjects of speech. But you may find a person who knows just as much or more than a nerd, and yet talks lightly like what you may think of as a "cool dude". It really comes down to whose afraid to improve their people skills and who isn't. Some are so obsessed with their mindsets of alienation that they are
not willing to change, for whatever purpose.

ReplyDeleteAlex, only if you are of the mindset that people can change.

ReplyDeleteI feel like this all changes after high school, but sometimes, high school can be so influential, you don't really mature/develop past that mindset :l
