I'm almost afraid to ask, but what do you spell out with the magnets on the student fridge?


oh, nothing too severe. Sometimes it was obscure quotation from literature, which would hint at death or apocalypse should they read up on it, but sometimes i'd keep it simple, like an extremely well constructed "I CAN SEE YOU"

Yeah, when doing fridge-magnet messages I tend to steer clear of phrases like

I F***ED YOUR MOTHER


I dunno why.

One of my sister's friends said I'm creepy. I was calm but quiet. I don't know why a lot of young people get that impression.

You can't have total control how other perceive you. Sometimes your perception of yourself is slightly off.

Sometimes when I think I look terrible, people close to me say I look just fine.

But I'd hate not being able to trust my own judgement.

Ugh, bad high school flashbacks >_< Knowing that people think you're creepy and having no idea why is probably one of the more depressing things one can experience in life =(

No.

They might be slightly more willing to look past that, but they'll still hold low opinion of your personality. Confidence helps more than anything.

I don't even have to talk to people for them to think I am weirf.

For example, I heard a complete stranger that went to my school and i've never seen before talk about me like she was some old friend that knew me well.

Oh, no, it's got nothing to do with me approaching them. Except maybe I will. It's just that I tend to stare at all types of people out of curiosity, but I'm starting to realize that someone could get really creeped out and think I'm a psychopath.

edit: Or, you know, a pervert. I don't want to be marked for stuff like that just because of my curiosity :/
