I've always wished I could be distant and uncaring. You can seem so cool. Take up smoking, even.
Who's that guy?
I don't know.
He doesn't look like he gives a fuck about anything.
Cool.
It just wasn't in the cards, though. When I find people I like, I strip naked of pretense. And the guy who comes out of the can naked at the dinner party ends up leaving early. I'm just a kid excited to have someone to play with for a change, but intense earnestness can really fuck some shit up.
Then other people tend to wish I were more aloof, too.
(Then I shouldn't give a fuck, but I still do.)

I am not good at aloof. I'm too insecure and have a pervasive need to overshare to make sure that people know who I am before they can make assumptions.
ReplyDeleteI think I come off as a bitch sometimes though.
Which I am okay with.
