I figure if you tell a story enough times then you're bound to run into someone, who interprets it the way you worry it really happened. Like today at lunch I was talking to a friend and I was telling her about this boy and something that had happened between us. I've told this story to tons of people all who have a generally upbeat response. They also tend to interpret it the way I do, making it a positive. She however did not. Her response made me feel like I was silly for interpreting it the way I did. Granted her response has been the only one of that kind. But I have to wonder why is that one that sticks out?
I'm frustrated because it's like her saying my interpretation was never possible. (which in turn feeds into my insecurities). But it's not just my interpretation. My friend who was there agrees with me, another friend who saw me interact with this boy stated at the time that things seemed good.
I guess my major point is why do people who weren't there while it was happening, weren't aware of what was happening at the time, comment like they were there or were aware? It isn't just this scenario either. There are others. A couple of posts ago I vented on people thinking I acted blindly when it came to another boy. Granted this boy wasn't prince charming, but at the same time I have one friend who likes to just reduce him and his actions to one scenario. I find this extremely frustrating because no one is one dimensional(even the people I don't like and rant about), and reducing someone to one dimension is unfair. Especially since that can be turned on them. I mean how would you like to be known as the frigid bitch, the insane-o stalker, the delusional dame, just because you behaved a certain way in one situation? I know I'd hate it. I know I do.
