#so I simply reclaim being weird even if ppl assume I’m cool when they meet me sometimes

the thing i most love about myself is that ever since a kid I’ve been offered to sit with the cool kids but always choose to sit with the outcasts because I disagree with creating power difference. like I’ve been reflecting a lot on this recently. some people use social dynamics to build self worth, thinking anyone different/odd is “cramping their style” when I find the weirdos way more interesting and genuine (being themselves). like I remember a few of my female outcast (not by choice) besties tryna be friends with the cool kids at school who were just laughing at them and me thinking/saying “are they gonna look after you when you’re drunk passed out on the floor or are they gonna turn a blind eye to men coming in to take advantage?” like fr I’ve always been offered the cool chair but hate the whole idea of being cool—you cannot trust a group bonded by wanting to be cool—and choose to back the weirdos and then the cool kids hate me and I’m back where I belong :)
#if I was to psychoanalyse myself it’s bc my parents care sk much about being cool that it stifled me#and moving interstate at 7 meant I had to face being an outsider before even knowing I was a lesbian#and everything I did that was weird was cringe to my parents#so I simply reclaim being weird even if ppl assume I’m cool when they meet me sometimes#I think my parents taught me how to be cool so I have to remind people no I’m the weirdo like the ones you bully so#and then they hate me bc I’m not playing into the cool/weird dynamic for power
