Highly selective people aren’t socially awkward. They’re discerning. They notice EVERYTHING. Your energy changes, your behavior shifts, your consistency disappears. They feel it before you even say a word.
when Robert Greene said:
“When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others”
I think ppl get offended when you aren't ashamed of things that they were taught to be ashamed of. They resent you for not caring what everybody thinks
Please carry your struggles with a touch of dignity. Venting doesn't always help. People treat you differently when they know too much information about you.
