flaws and fallacies

I am not perfect.

But I am unique. I am me, the only me I know.

I like me.

Some people don't like me. In the main I'm cool with that. I don't think I go about forcing people to like me. I don't feel like I should have to either.

What troubles me isn't so much not being liked, but not fitting in.

I have enough trouble finding clothes that fit perfectly, let alone finding others to fit in with perfectly.

But when I find that fit, it is something special and precious. Dearly treasured.

Not having a fit every time is fine - there's always more to try on.

What I strongly dislike is trying to fit and then having it pointed out that I don't fit and it's all my fault (of course).

Is that my problem or theirs? Are they trying "hard enough" too? Perhaps I don't fit but I don't wish to take it upon myself as a personal problem. I am me, I have flaws. I know they're noticed but sure as hell, I'm noticing your flaws too.

If you feel uncomfortable, that's your feelings. Not mine. If you think I make you feel uncomfortable, perhaps that's more telling of yourself than of me. It's not deliberate - deal with it.
