I've had women ask me why I hated them. People I really hadn't spoken to much or felt one way or the other about.
Never been told I was intimidating or frightening, just that they thought I didn't like them.
Who died and made you Elvis?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Did Amy Tuteur post something new, Askye? She always seems to attract the most venom.
I'm babysitting for a three month-old who is asleep on the futon next to me. Too adorable for words.

Some women expect a lot of stroking, I think. I've also gotten that a lot. Probably without the stepmonster I might have grown up Complinsult free...I guess she did me a favor, but in a sick way. Still ain't right when your dad marries a Mean Girl.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
When I hate it the most is when I don't *even like* the other person, yet I don't want her/him to think I'm a jerk. Who cares? They're a jerk. Right?
erika is me.

All I can seem to come up with is, "Uh, sorry. I guess I'm standoffish at first."

If you can't be beloved by an asshole, what's the point, right?ETA: DJ, yeah, actually, I'm a private person. Not at all the kind of woman to start chats in the bathroom stall or things like that...some women seem to hate this and call it bitchy but it really is hard for me to let people in my life.

Thrive to spite them
It's the Reflexive Doubt thread, I post on there as lillym and I made a couple posts (most ignored by the commenters) but there's the one person who doubts all authority because it's authority, thinks doctors can't help anyone, and said that antidepressants are "chemical lobotomies".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
All I can seem to come up with is, "Uh, sorry. I guess I'm standoffish at first."
"Actually, I'm awesome. But just with cool people. Not the whiny neurotic ones."
Would that help?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

When I was going through the break-up of my first marriage, my therapist recommended ADs. I resisted the idea pretty much until I was back in Australia, and part of it was the fear that it'd dull my brain more generally. (Of course, it did nothing of the sort. I've re ently been rereading Bitches from that period, starting dating again and meeting Wallybee and all, and if anything I think it made me slightly manic.)
