So true. No one else I know is, and most of the parents in my little town mistrust me. Of course, it's not like the kids around here want to hang out with me
anyway . . .
I've gotten many of the usual questions, comments like "You wear too much black".
"Do your parents know that you dress like this?"
"Are you trying to rebel or something?" -No, my parents love me. I'm actually a pretty good kid.
It's also lovely when people assume that one is some sort of criminal, is obsessed with death, and is never happy.
I am a happy person! (The only reason others cannot read my moods is they do not know me and don't take the time to try.)
People also think I am standoffish and weird. That I belong to a cult.
"Do you sacrifice small animals?"
"You don't believe in God?!?!? You must worship Satan!"
"This is a just a phase she's going through."
Etc.
The capacity for willful ignorance in others amazes me.
