Hey,
I was thinking about something a lot on my way back from university today...
It was absolutely pissing it down. And I mean. Just. Beyond wet. omg.
But anyway, I'd actually remembered to put an umbrella in my bag so I was like yes.
These 2 girls ended up joining on the same path as me just a little in front. They had no coats or anything, and were quite vocal about their complaints of the weather
I was wearing a coat also, so after like a minute, I just kind of like said excuse me, but would you like to use this umbrella till we get to the end of campus or where-ever it is we split up ? They looked at me really strangely, said no, and then hurried away at a fast walk. And I swear they were whispering about it afterwards too
I don't get it ... Well I do. If it had been a girl offering the girls an umbrella, I bet they would have accepted. The same if a guy offered 2 other guys. But because I am a guy and they are 2 girls, it seems to be wrong of me to think of such a thing. I think everyone seems to think that you have some hidden intentions.
Like if I were to talk to some girl I didn't know about ANYTHING. For example erm... I noticed someone next to me in the computer room was having printing issues which I knew how to fix. I said excuse me sorry to bother you... but I think the problem is here, this should fix it. Again I get some strange look. I don't really get what I'm doing wrong.
So a question for you girls I guess... In those situations (it obviously depends on the impression you get in the situation I guess), what would you have felt ? Would you have felt like... that some random guy was hitting on you? Cos that's how it feels to me in any of these random situations. I get this feeling that they are just thinking like "he wants something" and that they get all suspicious for just no reason...
I just hate in general the way that people are supposed to act in so many situations. The world seems so closed now. Almost everyone in the street or travelling on trains with headphones in their ears, looking down and looking mean. I'm cool with that tbh... the concept of talking to complete strangers does in fact horrify me but sometimes I just feel that I can help in some way... but i'm not allowed to.
And displaying emotions like... if I sing and play guitar and upload it to youtube. People I know here are like omgggg so weird, laughing at it even... saying that I seem really deep, as if it's totally strange. I once announced I was going for a walk at night to think some things through and clear my head... and again, it was deemed weird by everyone in the room at the time. I'm pretty sure everyone feels like going for a walk, and that they all understand what I mean. But what they socially display in front of each other, is this laughable concept which makes me "vulnerable" somehow. It's just so weird... I don't get people... at all :f
Anyway, well done if you managed to read this rant . Please do tell me what on earth I'm doing wrong I'm probably looking too deep into this...
