Losers

So I somehow end up having lots of loser friends, always. You know, the ones with no social skills, they are somehow socially retarded. They say weird things at weird times, have odd phrases, make awkward jokes. Or, they are into really weird things, have odd mannerisms. They're all really nice, but just off.

At home, there was Alec. Elementary school, Drew. Middle School=most of the gifted class. Here, I have already begun to hang out with some losers (I'm so nice... haha). Thrasher, Ben, Tim... all a little weird. I would include Ashley in that group, but even I just get irritated too much by her to consider her even a semi-friend.

I told my mom about how off Tim is and that I somehow ended being friends with a lot of rejects. She said, "I've noticed that you do that. Why do you always do that? Do you feel more accepted by them? Do you feel like you're not good enough for normal kids?" Sometimes my mom refers to it as me being a kind, empathetic person, trying to include the outcast. Sometimes, she views it as hindering my own reputation and self.
