I Am Tired

I am tired of people calling me anti social. It doesn't make sense to me. I know I don't make a lot of friends. A few is enough for me. I know I don't go out a lot. Why is that so weird to you. I hate how people pick on things that is just plain petty to me. I am happy with my life. I am happy with my friends. Just because I don't go around associating myself with people makes it okay for you to say what you want to say. I just don't get what that comment is for. I'm doing great with my post grad degree, I become great friends with people that I work with, and although new, we've been good friends too. Now, what is the point of calling someone anti-social? I know I don't know a lot of people outside of the circle I'm in. I don't go around. Just because I don't know the people you know doesn't make it okay for you to judge how I choose to live.

Something about that word instantly throws me off the whole day. That word baffles me. I feel like I'm being judged for something that has no bearing of the work and love that I put out in the world.

I have a friend, liked by everyone, but people always ask him if he's gay. He never answers, he doesn't have to. Until one day, Another friend asked, he just broke down. Although the question wasn't meant to hurt him, it still did. Why? Because why do people keep asking? He gets along with everyone. He's outstanding on what he does. But why is it the only thing that people seem to care about is his gender? Why does it matter?
