I attract way too many people

An older man, this middle-aged guy that annoyed me, and even a married woman were hitting on me the other day at a party. The only problem is they're all my neighbours. The older man and I have a weird connection, but I think it would look distasteful to be attracted to him. I'm not sure how to deal with all of this attraction, and this is a common theme in my life, lol. I suppose it's a bit dumb of me to even be bothered by it. Apparently, I should just be grateful and take advantage of it. That's what the person I'm with is telling me. I should use it as leverage or for power. I'm not like that though and can't even imagine doing that. Such strange times.

When I was in high school and older, I was attractive to a lot of people, too. I think you have to realize that the people who hit on you just want to use you for your body, and they don't care about you as a human being.

I didn't know how to deal with it, either, and it would never have occurred to me to take advantage of it. I figured that the people who were hitting on me were all like me...and that they would be hurt if I rejected them. I actually suffered, thinking about their pain.

In fact, most of them were human garbage...and I was a stupid kid. If you have trouble dealing with it, just cut them short, and say, "I'm not interested".
