Sometimes I wonder if it's me who is not speaking the same language
the people
who are listening
to me
are
hearing.
I will say,
"I 'm so glad to hear that you had success with that!"
Response:
"You're really fucked up"
I will say,
"It's wrong to silence those with whom we don't agree."
Response:
"You shut up bitch. No one likes you so you shouldn't be allowed to talk."
I say,
"You seem like an interesting person. Maybe we could be friends."
Response:
"I don't want to marry you, so don't think I do."
I say,
"Please treat me with respect."
Response:
"You're needy and desperate."
It's a difficult question that seems to have no answer...
is there a way to find company, other people, who do not make one feel more lonely for having spent time with them?
