Having just moved to a new place, I feel like I should do my best to act normal and make some friends. I don't want to unleash all of my oddities in one fell swoop and frighten them off... but it gets hard to keep it up. I just want to tell the truth, though I don't think it'll be received well if I do it just yet. I can't wait until I can tell everyone:
I don't like loud music. If I am at a concert with you, it is because I like you and you like loud music.
I don't like parties where people scream and jump around. I feel like I am in the middle of a war. I feel like punching people.
I don't enjoy dancing... I never have. I just do it and smile because I don't want people to think there's something wrong with me.
Don't be offended if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. I wait for others to call me because I worry about being bothersome.
I don't say mean things because I intend to, just because some days I am not so good at expressing myself and words come out backwards.
It may take me a little bit longer to learn things than other people, but it takes me much longer to forget them.
I may not be tactful, but when someone I know looks into my eyes and doesn't smile, it still hurts my feelings.
What confessions would you make if you could?
