Trouble Child

I think I have an attitude problem. I can’t believe I’m admitting that. I don’t mean to come off arrogant. I really don’t. But I end up giving an uncomfortably large number of people that impression.

I just found out that someone I really love and admire doesn’t think I am good company for someone I have been getting pretty close to lately. Whether she thinks this because she doesn’t like me…or simply because this friend of mine is in a different class, and she wouldn’t like ANY two people of different grades to be friends…I don’t know.

I have always found that when you focus on something; even if it's really small and insignificant, and really believe that it’s true, you start seeing proof of it everywhere…! So now, I’m becoming overly conscious of the personality I project! Little things…

If there is something I don’t like, I don’t hesitate to say so. Not that I’m rude about it, but I don’t really think twice before I question authority.

People I don’t think much of; know pretty well that I don’t think much of them.

I find grammatical errors funny.

Maybe as a joke, but almost HALF my friends call me intellectualist, and say I have un-match-able standards.

None of this is really justified. It’s not like I’m the last word in… well, ANYthing. I've always said that people’s opinion of me doesn’t matter. Easy to say when opinions are positive…

Finding out just HOW many people think I am stuck up, have an attitude problem, or am a bad influence… really sucks.
