Trust Me To Open My Mouth

Guess what I've figured out? I've managed either to embarrass or to piss off everyone I've ever spoken to. How about me, I've set a record. It's just that I have no patience for 'beating around the bush' or trying to ingratiate oneself to someone else. Most other people don't get that; they're of the opinion that you shouldn't 'make waves' by being blunt. I'll temper that tendency, but if you want me to hedge my thoughts, sorry, I'm no good at that.

Of course, the 'embarrassing' and 'pissing off' doesn't only come with saying the wrong thing. Comes from saying (what I grasp to be) the right thing as well. Someone else can say the exact same thing I do, but I'm the one who gets reprimanded for it.

I have a feeling that if I started talking like a Stepford wife, it still wouldn't work out. I'd say one thing wrong and there ya go. Fucked up again.

So if I've ever embarrassed or pissed you off, you who are reading this, my deepest apologies. I apparently don't have enough self-monitoring abilities to be a social creature. See why I stay home so much?

Thank Heaven for the Internet; this way I can anger and annoy people without ever leaving the house. *coughSARCASMcough*
