The Best And The Rest 157

I often get accused of being a snob.  When infact, I’m just painfully, believe it or not.  Sometimes when I meet people, I presume they’re not interested to talk to me, so I just slink back into the shadows to avoid people who don’t really want to have anything to do with me.  I know, major messed up.  But childhood insecurities are hard to exorcise.  So despite my snobby exterior, lies a really friendly, but highly insecure person.  Go figure.
