My friends have often told me that before we became friends they thought I was snobbish and stuck-up. This always exasperates me because I hate beng so misunderstood. I just don't require a plethora of chattiness and social friends to make me feel good about my life. I have always been this way. Until the age of six I spoke to virtually no one but my mother. People told her that I was retarded.... yah, I graduated high school with 28 college credit hours.
I am the type of person that enjoys her solitude. I love people, but I have no objection to being by myself sometimes. I find that on the whole people who have a gazillion friends and are constantly with them really don't know who they are outside of their peers. I am blessed, alhamdulilah, I know who I am. I realize this is intimidating to most people and so they think that I must most certainly be a taciturn, unfriendly girl who has a superiority complex. But those who think thus really don't know me. I am probably the most sensitive, compassionate person ever....ok, maybe not ever, but I am definitely up there, probably top ten. I adore babies and something as simple as the sunrise or the glowing moon bring tears to my eyes at the beauty and perfection of God's creation
I think that I must be on a higher moral, mental, and emotional plane than most of my peers, which is not to say that I think I am better, per se. It's just that the mundane tasks with which they seek to bring ephemeral satisfaction into their lives I see for what they are- pointless nonsense that hurt the soul, body, and mind.
Maybe that does make me a snob,but I am probably a better person for it.
