Yeah, she looked like she didn't care, which, you know, bully for her. I've never been able to be one of those people that just didn't care... I think because there's a hierarchy even within non-popular groups (at least there was within the speech clique and the math/science nerds clique when I was in high school - there were still the ones that were derided for being too awkward in some way, and the mean witty guys that everyone wanted to be associated with, and the girls everyone wanted to bone either because they were talkative extroverts or because they were pretty). Some of that I think is just the social human. And I think I'm extremely sensitive to all those dynamics because they usually leave me feeling either isolated or unsafe - I never found that group of friends in college. I had some of that in high school, but I think it was difficult for me to genuinely become friends with some of my high school peers because of how they'd teased me in middle school (and forgot about it). So, conclusion, I'm too neurotic to be well-adjusted, although I'm putting on a good show of it here in DC.
