Mar. 4th, 2010 12:55 amSo, I got to be the unwitting messenger of some... not exactly happy news... well, technically yesterday now. Joy.
Thankfully, I'm not being shot. At least that much. But I'm sorry those involved had to find out that way. >.<
In other news, I'm amused that only the two youngest members of my class (ie me, and the one born in 1989) knew what tldr meant.
...I was told that it was okay that I was motherly today, and that I'm a "tiny littler motherly thing". This reminds me of the countless times I've been called cute.
I don't disagree with these at all, I just... am very curious about why people think of me the way they do, and how I come across as cute/motherly/whatever. And why it's ok.
...and how I can go too far, so I can avoid it. I literally tell people to tell me where to stop because I am afraid I'll cross boundaries and be too... something.
I really am interested, though, in finding out why people think of me the way I do. Because I am so used to being called the same things, and I don't always understand why, even if I generally agree with the claims (good OR bad).
Is it weird to want to ask why people think of me the way they do? Is is possible to answer that question?
I'd be very curious to hear if anyone has any opinions of why they think of me as.... whatever they do think of me as.... or opinions on whether or not it is possible to give reasoning to these things.
