i
fear
other
people's
thoughts
far
more
than
i
fear
death
,
or
life
,
or
possibility
. (
but
it's
possible
i
hear
too
much
of
other
people's
thoughts
)
so
why
am
i
here
? overcoming?
what
if
it
makes
it
worse
?
no
one
can
reassure
anyone
else
of
anything
. particularly
in
this
100
%
thought
-zone.
i
know
that
for
a
fact
.
so
?
avoidance
?
solitude
?
does
it
make
sense
what
i'm
saying
?
no
i'm
no
misanthrope,
but
....
people
aren't
perfect
.
i'm
solid
on
that
one
.
almost
everybody
can
be
pretty
nasty
to
one
another
.
why
put
up
with
the
good
,
the
bad
,
or
the
ugly
from
you
know
the
random
random
random
factor.
i
expect
so
much
more
out
of
people
though
.
my
semi rural
high
school
was
so
un-with-it.
they
made
me
think
i
was
off
the
map
,
a
freak
,
an
outlier.
i
am
not
super-great. lack
of
good
friendships
around
that
time
got
me
started
on
this
road
. minimal
dating
.
no
long
term
relationships
.
illness
.
hopes
dashed.
next
time
please
.
that
was
too
hard
.
oh
yeah
!
i'm
in
the
depressed
zone
.
people
should
never
start
to
be
my
friend
and
then
turn
out
to
be
perfectly
awful
.
that
shit
is
so
unaffordable. (
not
you
,
the
other
guy
)
i
am
not
going
to
my
high
school
reunion
.
nope
.
that
mascot
is
awful
and
they
should
change
it
.
i
can't
think
of
a
worse
mascot. (
but
i
also
don't
want
to
see
people
,
well
-meaning
or
not
.
i
don't
want
to
update
my
files.
i
don't
want
any
potential
dates
from
that
crowd
.)
