This life is very funny whenever we look at it from different perspectives. The things that appear normal to one person may be totally abnormal to another person.
Currently, in my work area, there is this man who has been camouflaging-ly carrying out some wicked acts, and to him, he is very correct and right, not seeing it as evil. Meanwhile, the victims of this man’s actions have boldly labeled him as evil, and the funny part is that they always end the label with, "and he goes to church well."
So, I am very sure I also have these two sides, no matter how clean, perfect, and natural I have tried to live my life.
As for me, I am the kind of brother that your boyfriend wants to be because I am so endowed. This is actually taken from the lyrics of Mr. Endowed, and as far as I am concerned, that is just me because I do not look for trouble. I am one of the calmest humans on earth, one of the cleanest in terms of what people rate as being physically dirty and even in other aspects too🥱...you just have to know it. Lol.
I stay away from irrelevant associations with people most of the time, and this has earned me a lot of respect in my living area because you will never see me having heated arguments or fights with people.
I am the church-going type, and although I do not attend every church service, my lifestyle truly exhibits a typical Christian life. This also does not mean I appear like the "Deeper Life" type.
With these simple traits that combine into what looks like one strong trait, I just believe that I am exceptional, and I should not have a bad side in the eyes of people because no one actually wants to like a troublesome person over a calm person. But that is not usually the case, people always have different views about things, and below is one of the traits people associate with me that they do not like.
People say I am too quiet and that I do not associate with them.
Not once or twice have I heard people say this about my quiet life, and sometimes I feel they are overthinking it because I can be very noisy in places where I feel comfortable and around people I am used to. A typical example of this is how noisy I am in my online social life, especially on WhatsApp. People there who know me well can attest to that, and they may disagree with the impression people have of me as being quiet.
But then, I also like their impression because it has earned me a lot of space and peace.
I once had a neighbour who was very jovial and sociable with people in the area when he moved in. It did not last up to six months before everything crashed, and he and many others started keeping malice.
Since people already have this impression of me as being quiet, they do not want to get too close to the point of stepping on my toes.
Thanks for reading.
