Perhaps you would learn that you would never fit in, and find contentment as a wall flower. You, of course, never caught on to this treachery. How could you? You couldn't possibly understand the importance of what she was trying to do. She was trying to spare the world. And you. Mostly the world, but also you. If you had only understood and stayed quiet and humble. You'd have ruined so many fewer parties. You'd have endured so many fewer heartaches. You wouldn't have spilled the sketti in front of every grill that you ever fancied because you'd have known you were never a contender.
But not you - you were going to show the world that you could fit it! 'Notice me, senpai!' became the battle cry of your life. The 'brave face' turned into a twisted, grotesquely inflated sense of self worth. Of arrogance and delusions of grandeur. Surely if you only critique harshly enough, if only your admittedly short invective vocabulary was used liberally enough...
You'd be like them. The popular people. The ones everyone looked up to. If only you emulated them closely enough. If only you understood that they were only acting that way around you. Because that's the only side you ever saw of them, you though that was the key to being popular. But they were only ever dismissive and brutish towards you!
Never out of pure cruelty though. Just to make you go away. But you never caught on.
And here we are. On an image board for the worst misfits of the internet. On a subsection dedicated to grown men who like trains, and alternative modes of transport. Where moderate autism is the norm.
And yet, even here, on this anonymous image board where no-one should be able to connect one post to the other... Even here you stick out like a sore thumb. Even here you are pariah. Even here no-one "gets" your self-contrived in-jokes. Even here people marvel at your lack of self-awareness and social skill. Even here people pity you. Mostly hate and revulsion, but also pity.
